Help:Gadgets

Creating new gadgets

1. Go to MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition.
2. Add a new entry for your gadget. For example: * MyCoolGadget[ResourceLoader|default]|MyCoolGadget.js
   • This entry creates a new gadget named "MyCoolGadget" and specifies that it should be loaded by default using ResourceLoader.
   • Adding the default keyword in the definition entry enables by default for all users.
3. Create a new page for your gadget's JavaScript code at MediaWiki:Gadget-MyCoolGadget.js.
   • If you already have JS code, e.g. splitting out from All or common, paste into the new page.
4. Enable the Gadget by default
5. Save and Test. Remember to clear your browser cache or perform a hard refresh to see the changes.
