Hi, I’ve checked the GitLab Commits section of MR-60.
It shows a single commit, and opening that commit displays the structured commit message including the separate Bug: T416500 footer.
I’ve attached a screenshot below showing this view.

Done.
I’ve added the existing header, sidebar, and footer to the 404 page and fixed the layout so it matches other pages.

Hi @Reputation22
I noticed there is a related merge request proposing cookie-based polling during login, but it does not appear to have been merged.
I tested the current production instance and the original issue is still reproducible. After completing the Wikimedia OAuth flow and redirecting back to VideoCutTool, the UI remains in the unauthenticated state (Login button visible, no “Welcome <username>” in the header).
The authenticated view only appears after performing a manual page refresh, which matches the behavior described in this task.
I’ve attached screenshots showing:
the UI state before login and immediately after completing OAuth (without refresh), and
Hi,
I’ve drafted a possible UI direction for the common 404 page in VideoCutTool and wanted to check if this approach looks reasonable for the project.
At the moment, the idea is to keep the implementation fully React-based and lightweight, without introducing additional images or assets, and focus on a clear, purpose-driven 404 experience. That said, I wanted to ask whether this minimal approach is preferred, or if adding some simple visuals would be better for user experience.
Please let me know if this direction makes sense, or if you’d suggest any changes to the layout, wording, or overall approach. I’m happy to iterate based on feedback.
Thanks.

Thanks for pointing this out, I’ll follow these guidelines going forward.
Thanks for the note.
I’ll clean up the patch to remove the unrelated whitespace and formatting changes and keep the diff focused strictly on the socket listener fix. I’m working on this and will update the merge request shortly.
Hi @Aklapper ,
I’ve reviewed this issue and have a clear understanding of how the 404 handling for invalid edit URLs can be implemented.
I would like to work on this task. Kindly assign it to me.
Thank you.
I’ve opened a GitLab merge request that addresses this issue by moving the socket.on('update') listener into a useEffect hook with proper cleanup to avoid duplicate listener registrations and repeated state updates.

I plan to work on the VideoCutTool project on GitLab. It is a tool for editing videos on Wikimedia Commons, and I am interested in contributing to it through code contributions.
I have experience with React JS and Node JS, and I would like to get access to the GitLab repository so that I can explore the codebase, set up the project locally, and start contributing.

@zeljkofilipin
Thanks for the pointer. I’ll go through the New Developers page.
I’m interested in starting with code contributions and would appreciate guidance on which repository or component would be a good place to begin.
It would also be helpful to know the primary tech stack used in that area (frontend/backend) so I can get set up correctly.
Hi! I am Kunal Verma👋
I’m new to contributing to Wikimedia open source and I’m really excited to get started.
I understand this task is about creating a continuity page, but I’m not fully clear on the expected structure and required details yet.
Could someone please point me to the relevant documentation or a good example to follow? I want to make sure I do this correctly.
Thanks
