Exactly! This is poor design. I have an account (through SUL)
on the Ukrainian Wikipedia because I sometimes add interwiki
links there. I want the same gadgets there, but I don't speak
Ukrainian and I can't go around bothering local admins on
every language with this. Gadgets should follow the user, just
like the account name and password do. There must be a better

We should also make it possible to have global gadgets controlled on
Meta-Wiki.  This would be especially useful for hiding the Fundraising
