--- Comment #14 from Quiddity <[email protected]> ---
I agree with WhatamIdoing, that these are probably separate issues.

Re: bug 58405 - I've left a comment at [[User talk:PleaseStand/User
info#Gadgetize and Global Gadgetize]] pointing the author/pagewatchers towards
that bug, and encouraging someone to both gadgetize the script, and make it
work across all WMF wikis. That way we can scale up the usage, and thereafter
consider further options such as making it a default-on gadget, or more.


Re: this bug - I believe (part of) the original intent is to:

A) rethink/standardize/centralize the items in
[[MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]]
[[mw:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]]
[[c:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]]
[[d:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]]
[[m:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]]
[[ur:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer]]
*etc at all ~900 wikis*
(plus the "-anon" variants, eg [[c:MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer-anon]] )

Because the links at various wikis are frequently 
* broken/outdated
* or missing
* or in a confusing order
* or in a language we can't read.

Someone would need to research the links in the hundreds of
Sp-contributions-footer pages, and compile the best ones, whilst noting any
instances that are uniquely-local and cannot be merged into a global tool (if
any).

B) Put all those links on a separately accessible page, rather than having to
go through the [[Special:Contributions]] page and scroll to the bottom. A User
equivalent to [[mw:Page information]]. (and put a text/search box on it, so we
can change the target easier.)

@Nemo: Sorry for continuing the discussion here, after you've designated it a
tracking bug. But more people are watching this bug!  ;-)  <3
