Hi all,

This is Samuel from the Security team and I hope my message finds you well.

There is an ongoing discussion
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Third-party_resources_policy>
on a proposed policy governing the use of external resources in gadgets and
UserJS. The proposed Third-party resources policy
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Third-party_resources_policy>
aims at making the UserJS and Gadgets landscape a bit safer by encouraging
best practices around external resources.

After an initial non-public conversation with a small number of interface
admins and staff, we’ve launched a much larger, public consultation to get
a wider pool of feedback for improving the policy proposal. Based on the
ideas received so far, the proposed policy now includes some of the risks
related to user scripts and gadgets loading third-party resources, best
practices for gadgets and UserJS developers, and exemptions requirements
such as code transparency and inspectability.

As technical contributors, your feedback is welcome until July 17, 2023 on
the policy talk page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Third-party_resources_policy>
.

Best regards
--
