Caveats
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
2011-09-23 06:48:37 +00:00
|
|
|
* Gadgets do not apply to Special:Preferences, Special:UserLogin and
|
2010-11-11 18:46:54 +00:00
|
|
|
Special:ResetPass so users can always disable any broken gadgets they
|
|
|
|
|
may have enabled, and malicious gadgets will be unable to steal passwords.

Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
* `$wgGadgetsRepoClass`: configures which GadgetRepo implementation will be used
|
2015-08-03 06:37:32 +00:00
|
|
|
to source gadgets from. Currently, "MediaWikiGadgetsDefinitionRepo" is the
|
|
|
|
|
recommended setting and default. The "GadgetDefinitionNamespaceRepo" is not
|
|
|
|
|
ready for production usage yet.
|
2015-12-18 21:36:26 +00:00
|
|
|
* `$wgSpecialGadgetUsageActiveUsers`: configures whether or not to show active
|
|
|
|
|
user stats on Special:GadgetUsage. True by default.
