== Caveats ==

|
|
|
* Gadgets do not apply to Special:Preferences, Special:UserLogin and
|
|
|
|
|
Special:ResetPass so users can always disable any broken gadgets they
|
|
|
|
|
may have enabled, and malicious gadgets will be unable to steal passwords.
|
2008-02-04 08:08:43 +00:00
|
|
|
* Uses BeforePageDisplay hook, thus only works with MonoBook based skins;
|
2007-07-31 10:21:34 +00:00
|
|
|
specifically, does not work with CologneBlue.
|
2008-02-04 08:08:43 +00:00
|
|
|
* Gadget code is included after user code - that means that user JS has no
|
|
|
|
|
access to things defined in gadgets, and user CSS is overwritten by CSS
|
|
|
|
|
from gadgets. (pending a better way to insert things into the HTML head)
