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

-------------

* `$wgGadgetsRepo`:  configures which GadgetRepo implementation will be used

  to source gadgets from. Currently, "definition" mode is the recommended

  setting and default. The "json" mode is not ready for production usage yet.

* `$wgSpecialGadgetUsageActiveUsers`:  configures whether or not to show active

  user stats on Special:GadgetUsage. True by default.
