Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE added a comment. Just because we don’t advertise the JS API for other extensions, gadgets, or user scripts does not mean we have to remove it internally and change all its uses. TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T259211 EMAIL PREFERENCES

eranroz added a comment. - Wikidata (wikidata client only) and communities (frwiki, hewiki, ruwiki) code is misaligned by removing JS API interface to wikidata that is used by gadgets -> functionality broken -> regression. to get it resolved we need to re-align them - communities code
