https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Bug_report_life_cycle cur rently says "A report is given the Invalid status when the problem is not a bug, or when it is a change that is outside the power of the component's developers." When closing a task as invalid the person closing the task should add an explanation. In this case: "User scripts, gadgets and templates are local features and managed on wiki. Phabricator/Maniphest is used for MediaWiki, MediaWiki extensions, or server configuration. You could contact the author of the script/gadget or ask for help on the local Technical Village Pump. Closing as INVALID here in Phabricator as this is a matter to discuss and fix on the local wiki and currently not handled in Phabricator/Maniphest." See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85433 for using Phabricator for gadget-related tasks (and discussing that idea).
