Note bug 36915 for adding an API method for fetching this data; that'll help for our WLM app but it'd still be nice to make things visible for regular people.

Merged.

This does not seem to work too well:

• [1A] If you're in the 'administrator' or 'UploadWizard campaign editor' user group, log out of Commons;
• [1B] If you're not in either of these groups, just go ahead...
• [2] Go to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadCampaign/wlm-de-nrw;
• [3] Hit a permission error.

To be fair the summary did say Special:UploadCampaigns, but it should include Special:UploadCampaign as well...

I have submitted a change but there are problems to resolve.

The change causes the form to be displayed to all users with all attributes disabled and no submit/cancel button (I guess that was expected?)

However, this could lead into confusion for some users if we don't display the 'You don't have permissions' warning, which we can't display simultaneously by use of Exceptions. So maybe try another way to display this?

I would like to change the "You are modifying an Upload Wizard campaign." text to "You are viewing an Upload Wizard campaign but you cannot modify it.", however the message key is enforced by FormSpecialPage::getForm to effectively be:
strlower( $this->getName() ) . '-text'.

I think we'll have to do this:

$wgHooks['SpecialUploadCampaignBeforeFormDisplay'][] = function ( &$form ) {

$form->setHeaderText( wfMessage( 'uploadcampaign-text-readonly' )->parseAsBlock() );
return true;

};

Um, with a permissions check in there as well of course.

I never saw "You are modifying an Upload Wizard campaign." It should definitely be outside the fieldset and also bold. Bad design

Using preText() now, looks much more sane

Change 70027 abandoned by Yuvipanda:
Show a disabled form for users without permissions.

Reason:
Campaign: namespace has been merged now, and users can see the campaigns without restriction now.

With the new 'Campaign:' namespace, anyone can view them.
