[Wikitech-l] Contributing to Wikimedia

[Aryann Dwivedi]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Aryann Dwivedi, currently enrolled as an engineering student at NIT 
Nagpur. This marks my initial venture into the realm of open source 
contribution. Proficient in languages such as javascript, typescript, node,php, 
I have successfully executed several projects. Now, I am eager to channel my 
skills and contribute to your community.



In pursuit of this goal, I want to seek guidance and mentorship from an 
experienced individual who possesses expertise in the mentioned domains. I am 
enthusiastic about taking on a small issue or feature to work on under your 
mentorship.



Thank you for considering my request.

[Wikitech-l] Document usage of gadget exports for other gadgets' use

[psnbaotg via Wikitech-l]

Hello all,

Testing shows that a gadget can export something for another gadget (or user 
script) to use. But I cannot find any documentation regarding this. (Please 
don't confuse this with package gadgets -- they are different concepts.)

Examples here: 
https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-packagefileuser.js and 
https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-packagefilebase-file1.js.

I would like to draw your attention to this, as there is [a default gadget on 
Chinese Wikipedia](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-HanAssist.js) 
utilizing this feature, so things can be better if this is officially 
documented.

For more information, please checke out 
[T349459](https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T349459), thanks.

Best regards,

Hi everyone, I just enabled canary events for the mentioned streams.

Please comment here or on the task if you encounter any issues.

Thank you!

[Wikitech-l] Re: Comments like Google Docs

[Felipe Schenone]

Thanks everyone for all the info, pointers and comments!
@Subbu: Indeed that was the one I read about, thanks!
@Thiemo: What I'm thinking of is a *gadget*, so it would be available on
Wikimedia wikis (and any other) but only for users that choose to enable it
(similar to my gadget MiniEdit ).

The gadget would allow its users to highlight some text and publish a
comment to the talk page along with the highlighted text and parent
paragraph (for context). Like so:

In ancient times, the use of solar energy was believed to have existed in
> civilizations amidst the Greeks
> , Romans
>  and the Chinese
> , though not for cooking.[3]
> 

Did it exist or not? The source says it did, so if no objections are
raised, I'll remove this.


Only users with the gadget enabled would be able to see the highlighted
text and comment in the article itself. The rest would only see it in the
talk page.

Because of the way I'm thinking the gadget would work, if the wikitext/HTML
of the parent paragraph changes (for example because the issue got fixed),
then the comment would stop showing in the article to users with the gadget
enabled. This is because the wikitext/HTML of the paragraph itself would
act as the anchor or identifier that would allow the gadget to know where
to insert the comment. This may be sub-optimal in some cases, but it's the
only way I can think of doing it without having the gadget insert things
into the wikitext of the article (which would be a definitive no-no). In
any case, the comments would always be available in the talk page.

To be honest though, some of your comments have made me question if this
could be useful, but I think given the way it would work, and considering
it would be an optional gadget that won't be available to random visitors,
it should be harmless, and time will tell if it ever becomes popular. I'm
working on a crude prototype and will share it shortly. Any insights, ideas
or comments are welcome!

Kind regards,
