To get a version +compatible with an earlier MediaWiki release, visit +[ExtensionDistributor/Gadgets](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor/Gadgets). + +Installing +------------- +Copy the Gadgets directory into the extensions folder of your +MediaWiki installation. Then add the following lines to your +LocalSettings.php file (near the end): + + wfLoadExtension( 'Gadgets' ); + +Usage +------------- +See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Gadgets#Usage + +Caveats +------------- +* Gadgets do not apply to Special:Preferences, Special:UserLogin and + Special:ResetPass so users can always disable any broken gadgets they + may have enabled, and malicious gadgets will be unable to steal passwords. + +Configuration +------------- +* `$wgGadgetsRepoClass`: configures which GadgetRepo implementation will be used + to source gadgets from. Currently, "MediaWikiGadgetsDefinitionRepo" is the + recommended setting and default. The "GadgetDefinitionNamespaceRepo" is not + ready for production usage yet. +* `$wgSpecialGadgetUsageActiveUsers`: configures whether or not to show active + user stats on Special:GadgetUsage. True by default. |
