This seems like a bad habit to have got ourselves into... All it takes is a trailing comma somewhere and a gadget could take out a whole browser. Likewise a bad usage of a css transition can completely kill site performance and make everything laggy. I'm not disagreeing that this workflow gets results - it obviously does - but I think we should be striving to identify good Gadgets and giving them love and attention for the good of everyone. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
