[Wikitech-l] Update Gadgets extension on WMF wikis
Hi all, I would like to ask for deployment of new version of Gadgets extension. It would be great to get rid of MediaWiki:Common.js by splitting it into separate gadgets, enabled for everyone by default. Any registered user will be able to disable functionality he/she does not like. What is more, it will simplify loading additional dependencies - now it is done by importScript etc. and allow to take advantage of Resource Loader.

There is some unreviewed stuff at [1], I believe that trunk is sane enough for deployment once someone reviewed it.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Update Gadgets extension on WMF wikis
There's usually some code (general utility fn's, some legacy remappings etc.) in common.js that could break a lot of stuff if missing. +1 on moving optional stuff to gadgets Leo On Tuesday, June 7, 2011 at 6:23 PM, Chad wrote: > 2011/6/7 Ildefons Stułbia : > > I would like to ask for deployment of new version of Gadgets > > extension.

Default gadgets would solve an issue I am facing at the moment :) So +1 to deployment of updates.

General utility functions should be available as modules, which can be loaded when there is such need (as a dependency to a gadget or by user/script explicitly). It makes easier to port gadget to other projects and maintain them, when its dependencies are well defined, so all changes can be easily tracked. Separate modules can be directly imported, which is impossible with overbloated MediaWiki:Common.js.

In my opinion any custom ui feature should be optional, because it will never satisfy all users. It will also simplify developing and testing new versions of a gadget, by giving users an ability to turn off old version and turn on the new one. User having trouble with interfering scripts will be able to find out which ones by selectively disabling gadgets. Getting rid of MediaWiki:Common.js may not be feasible for all projects, in the end it is all up to sysops how much freedom they are willing to grant to contributors and viewers.
