Hi, Arcane 21. This is getting more into territory we discuss on wikitech-l https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l , which is for people who develop MediaWiki and accessories. :-) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker#JavaScript_and_CSS and http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/javascript and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gadget_kitchen might help you out. If those aren't quite what you need, please do email wikitech-l and ask again. :-) Wow, your MediaWiki testers' wiki sounds really interesting: "Purpose: To describe and display various types of MediaWiki extensions, skins, and user scripts, with the intention of showing how they work in a live testing environment..." I'm especially interested in the gadgets you list at https://mediawikitesters.orain.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Gadgets -- do you mean it to be a guide to the best generally useful gadgets? -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
