Not a solution, but having a central repository of gadgets would help with at least getting some of the random styling tweaks people have grown fond of out of core. It would need to be easily searchable, however, as indeed such a thing would get very large very quickly. Rather like some wikis' lists of gadgets already, really. > I'd say we can create an extension called "LegacyPreferences" that implements > them exactly the way they used to be in core (be in server side, client side > or > both, whatever the implementation was in core).

Would that result in the preferences still showing up as regular preferences on any wiki using it, then? While that would be an improvement to core for new projects, it only solves part of the issue as there wouldn't be much of a usability improvement for those with an existing userbase that would demand it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
