Summary: Integrate gadget into standard pref sections
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: User preferences
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
For the standard user the gadgets are just a collection of extra settings. He
doesn't / shouldn't bother if its a MediaWiki core feature or a user script
(while user script is only half correct since it's still enabled by admin /
sysops though). The user instead needs to ask himself whatthe heck Gadgets are
and why they are not logically sorted under the other sections but srted into
h2 sections on the page (see Wikipedia).
MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition should be able to let you list gadgets into the
standard sections or create new sections for it.
E.g. "Make text fields (e.g. the edit form) use a sans-serif font instead of a
monospace font." would be better placed in the #Editing section. Just my
feelings. Example set-up of the Gadgets-definition:
--------------------------------------------
#Editing
* wikEd|wikEd.js
* textareasansserif|textareasansserif.css
#Interface
* exlinks|exlinks.js
* purgeTab|purgeTab.js
#Misc
== library-gadgets ==
* JSL|JSL.js
--------------------------------------------
The checkboxes for wikEd and textareasansserif would be added at the end of the
Editing section
Interface would be a new section at the end (but before the standard Misc imo)
including the stated two Gadgets.
At the end of the standard Misc section a new h2 would be added with JSL below.
If no #section was defined in the Gadgets-definition, create #Gadgets as is
handled atm.
Makes sense to me ;)
