I'm not sure if making it a Gadget is a good idea (and you make a good case that it's not), but this idea would be worse in many cases. Many preferences, if removed from core, would require a hook in order for LegacyPreferences to handle it. A hook that we would then have to support for the foreseeable future. -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
