Prefilling OAuth2 scopes for GitLab Personal Access Tokens

Featured image for sharing metadata for article

When working with GitLab Personal Access Tokens, it can be handy to pre-fill the information for a given scope.

Unlike GitHub's personal access tokens, GitLab does document this functionality, where we can pre-fill the scopes and name of the token, by constructing a URL like:

https://gitlab.example.com/-/profile/personal_access_tokens?name=Example+Access+token&scopes=api,read_user,read_registry
