Bug ID: 69906
Summary: 2.0: Make it clearer that Scripts and CSS must be in
Gadget namespace when defining a gadget
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Gadgets

I enabled gadgets2 role on Vagrant and when I clicked in the "Create" link in
the top of
http://127.0.0.1:8080/wiki/Special:Gadgets
it loaded a popup named "Creating a new gadget". In that popup there is a field
"Script" in the section "Module properties".
For a user using Gadgets 2.0 for the first time, it will not be clear what name
should be typed there:
* MediaWiki:Gadget-foo.js (incorrect - this is the naming convention from 1.0)
* Gadget-foo.js (incorrect - this is the naming convention from 1.0)
* Foo.js (correct, but the page needs to exist first, or it will be ignored!)
* Gadget:Foo.js (incorrect - even if the page exists, it will be ignored)
The only case where the autocomplete feature works is when [[Gadget:Foo.js]]
exists and the user types (a substring of) "Foo.js". This is not very user
friendly.
Maybe there should be a placeholder as the default value, and a link to the
namespace somewhere (to allow the user to find existing JS pages which can be
used).
Same problems for CSS.
