Edit request MediaWiki:Gadget-libAPI.js

Hi, would somebody with interface-admin rights to add function below to MediaWiki:Gadget-libAPI.js (example diff). Function is for adding a method for removing already queued edits from queue. It would be used in Cat-a-lot.js.

abortPendingRequests: function() {
   apiRequestQueue = [];
},

--Zache (talk) 07:59, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

@Lucas Werkmeister and Mdaniels5757: this is just pushing edit request up. After the edit is complete, I will update User:Zache/cat-a-lot-edit-libAPI.js to use abortPendingRequests() instead of capturing $.ajax for aborting the edit queue. Another humble request: could the statement, Since the JS edit API module by MW is a joke..., be removed from the header of MediaWiki:Gadget-libAPI.js as deprecated? (Example: diff) It may have been true in 2012, but now it feels like just unnecessary confrontation. --Zache (talk) 12:46, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Renaming a category

Hello. The category Category:Demonstration for Palestine in Barcelona (27 September 2024) was wrongfully/unnecessarily renamed Category:Vaga general per Palestina 2024 (Barcelona), even after Category:Strike for Palestine (27 September 2024) had been renamed Category:Vaga general per Palestina 2024 and then renamed back. Anyways, the problem is now I can't rename the category because the English name is already in use as a redirection. I would kindly ask you to do that for me, if possible and plausible, as per Commons:Categories#Category names and also for homogeneity with other categories under Category:Demonstrations and protests in Barcelona in 2024. -- Brunnaiz (talk) 16:19, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Campaign:wlpac-rs

Hi, I left a message on the Village pump/Technical page but I think only admin can create Campaign and MediaWiki pages. Please take a look at Village_pump/Technical#Campaign:wlpac-rs. Thanks for your help! MikyM (talk) 01:14, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
