Testing tool for commons

sebastian-wmse

I’m working on a tool for uploading 3D-files to commons and would like somewhere to test it during development. Commons beta seems like a reasonable place to do this. If so, how can I register the tool for OAuth? Special:OAuthConsumerRegistration seems to be the way to go on the non-beta wikis, but that doesn’t exist on the commons beta.

It only exists on the central wiki (meta / beta meta).

Thank you.

I’ve created an account now, but I need to be a confirmed user to request an OAuth token. Could an administrator please confirm my account (Sebastian Berlin (WMSE)) so I can do this?

We cannot bypass wiki project process here. Please make your request at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Requests_for_adminship (that page also explains how to request access levels other than admin).

Doesn’t anyone have access to beta at WMSE? If so, you should probably fix that. If you do, you can just use createAndPromote.php.

I got help from a colleague who had a confirmed account.

Note that the thread was about beta-meta, so no process to bypass =)
