Thank you for your answer. The problem is that I do not believe I can use the MediaWiki Docker, which has an ability to deploy this specific extension, for many cases, including this specific task. It's because the extension uses the multiwiki API and the task debugging needs actual information from many wikis that I have my actual account on, and it changes in real time. Working on a local isolated copy of Mediawiki will not help. I already read the page you suggested before writing here, and it looks like no option mentioned there will. Igal
