Gadgets ============= The Gadgets extension provides a way for users to pick JavaScript or CSS based "gadgets" that other wiki users provide. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Gadgets for more documentation. The Gadgets extension was originally written by Daniel Kinzler in 2007 and is released under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL). Prerequisites ------------- This version of Gadgets requires MediaWiki 1.27 or later. 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.
