Bug ID: 58462
Summary: Global gadgets should have be held to a higher level
of quality
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Gadgets are great for experimentation and innovation but occasionally gain the
status of global. When this happens we must ensure the code quality is kept to
the highest possible coding standard. As a member of the developer community it
is very unclear what gadgets are global and on what projects and how they might
effect me and where the code lives and what the code looks like.
How to do this is unclear (what tools/processes are needed), but ideally the
process of enabling a gadget as global should
1) delay enabling a gadgets as global to give time for feedback
2) Allow members of the developer community to review these kind of gadgets
beforehand to flag things like xss problems.
3) Provide greater transparency of which gadgets are enabled where and when
See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/74283
for broader discussion.
