Note that in general WMF does not support gadgets and does not encourage their use; they are highly likely to break like this when the code they depend on changes, and this is a good example of that breakage. :-( I've re-written this a bit to be clearer. As "lowest" priority, reflecting that we don't support gadgets. of course anyone who is interested in patching is welcome to suggest ideas/code that could address this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
