I can't find any rules like this for Gadgets, but I see lot's of Gadgets set default in several Wikis. I think Gadgets can be designed badly and have security flaws as well as Extensions… so there shouldn't there exists some review process?
There should. But it's impossible in practice, as the gadgets are written by volunteers for other volunteers, who often have very limited free time, and who often couldn't care less whether the code is nice or not if it works. Quite simply, there is not enough contributors to review gadgets, and there is not enough of them to respond to reviews, if any were to happen. If you have any concrete improvements in mind, probably the best way to get them done is to either edit the gadget (if you have permission), or suggest changes to the code (preferably by pasting in the new version) on the wiki's equivalent to [[en:WP:Administrators' noticeboard]]. -- Matma Rex _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
