Wikipedia:Gadget/evaluation
This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump. |
This page is an attempt to determine which existing user scripts could be added to the 'Gadgets' section of Special:Preferences as a gadget. You can help by writing comments explaining why a script should or should not be included.
The actual discussion to include a script as a gadget takes place at Wikipedia:Gadget/proposals.
Notes:
- Scripts that add, modify or otherwise use portlet links (via
addPortletLink()
or otherwise) will generally only work on the MonoBook-like skins (MonoBook, Simple, Chick, MySkin) and usually on Modern skin. - Scripts that use "bodyContent" or other MonoBook-specific element IDs will also generally only work on the MonoBook-like skins; older skins use "content" while Modern skin uses "mw_content".
Scripts
[edit]Script | Gadgetability |
---|---|
Navigating to Edit page[edit] | |
Add edit section 0 | probably redundant to the next script, which is designed as a more portable version
adds or modifies portlet links |
Simplified edit section 0 | no obvious problems (ais523: I'm happy for this to be moved to MediaWiki space, but remember to leave a script redirect in place (this can be done with {{subst:js}})!) There is some problem with the profusion of edit-top scripts around, though; clearly they shouldn't all be used.

Editing[edit] | |
wikEd | wikEd is already a gadget on the German, French, Hungarian, and Occitan Wikipedia as well as the Polish Wiktionary. It works currently only for Firefox and related browsers. I suggest to add it as a gadget on the English Wikipedia. Сасусlе 04:26, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Discussions[edit] | |
!Vote symbols | Is it a good or bad idea to include this? It's a compromise that adds symbols to your own view rather than everyone's which has been useful in de-escalating the argument in the past, but it may encourage a 'voting mentality'. |
Username highlighter | not portable; uses "bodyContent" ID |
