Description:
Hello,

I'm not sure this is the correct place to post it. If not, feel free to change it.

I'd like you to add a new javascript global variable, like wgUserGroups or wgGlobalGroups. There is a list here (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/JavaScript).
I'd like this global variable to contain the wiki-sets (i.e. "Global sysop wiki" or "Global bot wiki") the wiki belongs to.

I need this change in order to write a JS tool that should make stewards' life easier by hiding (or changing the color of) the sysop buttons on non-GS wikis. Stewards should not make deletions (except emergencies) on non-GS-wikis, so they'll be able to know whether they can or not just by going on the page.

Thanks a lot by advance.

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

Can we get another use case?

Adding more global javascript variables for such a narrow purpose that benefits exactly 30 people in the entire world just doesn't seem worth it.

Yes, I understand that you don't want to do such a change for a minority.

But your commentary has given me an idea : I can also use "wgDBname" variable and test if this variable belongs to a pre-defined array. The inconvenience is that the list should be changed everytime the GS wiki list changes.

I'll do that so. Thanks nevertheless.
