Discussion at commons:MediaWiki talk:Gadget-Cat-a-lot.js
and users of User:קיפודנחש/cat-a-lot.js might be interested in the discussion at commons:MediaWiki talk:Gadget-Cat-a-lot.js.

What prompted that proposal is that enwiki lacks page MediaWiki:Mobile-frontend-return-to-page, which is one of the interface messages used by WP:Cat-a-lot. Without the page MediaWiki:Mobile-frontend-return-to-page, the interface of Cat-a-lot shows a button with "⧼Mobile-frontend-return-to-page⧽" as its text, which is understandable, but not ideal. Other messages used by the gadget (see commons:MediaWiki:Gadget-Cat-a-lot.js) already exist on enwiki: —⁠andrybak (talk) 12:51, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

User:קיפודנחש, I propose adding  to the settings on enwiki:

Side note:  is broken in Cat-a-lot, see discussion at commons:MediaWiki talk:Gadget-Cat-a-lot.js. —⁠andrybak (talk) 16:46, 15 June 2024 (UTC)


 * np. do many people use my shim? if so, maybe it would be better to move it to mediawiki space as a gadget. i'm in an awkward position here, and appear as "custodian" for a tool which is not really mine.
 * offtopic: many years ago (at least 12, prolly closer to 15) cat-a-lot which was written on commons for commons, handled categorization of files only, someone on hewiki asked me to "inherit" it (not your OO inheritance - simply copy the whole shebang and hack it locally) such that it will handle other pages, not just in namespace 6. though i personally am not interested in categorization (hewiki decided on categorization scheme that makes categories almost completely useless there), i took the challenge and butchered the code until it relented and worked on articles too. a while later the upstream also did it, probably much better or :more correctly" than my hack. it still took several more years before i could replace my hack on hewiki with the shim, but eventually i did. don't remember what prompt me to copy the shim to enwiki - i'm sure there was some legit reason... anywhoo, i don't think i used cat-a-lot on enwiki even once.
