Temporary interface admin right to beta commons for updating the Cat-a-lot gadget
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I am proposing Cat-a-lot as a Google Summer of Code 2025 project (T386714 and more info). For this project, I would like to use Beta Commons as a platform where applicants can safely edit and test their user script versions and add/remove categories to files without risking incorrect file edits.

For this I would like to update the base version of the Cat-a-lot in the Beta Commons gadgets to the latest version used in Wikimedia Commons.

The task simply requires copying the following files from Wikimedia Commons to Beta Commons. While I can do this myself with the appropriate rights it is also welcome if somebody else does it.

It would be usable to get regular admin right for proceeding with the T389317 too.

Yes this would be a great step to separate dev environment

@Multichill Could you do the updating the Beta Commons gadget files?

@Multichill and others. If you have time to check the beta commins you could give me a admin rights too for T389317. It is likely that i would need them for creating protected pages for testing but also for unblocking autoblocked users.

Saw this in passing — have given you admin/interface admin on beta.commons

Closing as resolved, as admin/intadmin rights on beta-commons have been granted; please reopen though if there’s anything left to do here that I’ve missed!
