Also note that, as explained in more detail on the ticket[1], gadgetizing will be a bad idea. We might as well not remove it at all. A preference is a lot better than a gadget because (at least for now) its label will be localised a lot better, and more importantly: The option will show up in

Just reiterating that discussing individual preferences (not to mention touching them) is a very bad idea before we have good criteria of some sort to evaluate them. Usage stats are a requirement but such criteria are not only about them because some preferences may be of small harm for many

[Wikitech-l] subst: and Parser::preprocess not sending correct frame to tag extensions?

I'm not sure if this is by design, but it seems when using a tag extension inside of a template, the tag extension is not passed the correct frame information about the template when using subst: or Parser::preprocess For example: The contents of Template:Test are: SomeTagExtension {{{1}}}

Some MediaWiki forms have elements with type=email. Up until 2 weeks ago, en-wiki would strip that out as it's invalid in old-school HTML. But now that $wgHtml5 is true, it flows to the browser. A nifty result is mobile browsers will use a custom on-screen keyboard with @ and .com in it for
