Help:Widgets

Widgets are an alternative to templates that allow for inclusion of normally restricted features of HTML and other markup. They are available for use by any editor on a wiki that has the Widgets extension installed, but require special permissions to be edited. This extension is not available by default on a wiki, however, and must be requested.

User permissions
Once installed, this extension introduces a new user group right, which allows users to create and edit Widgets (pages in the "Widget:" namespace), and a new user group. Local administrators no longer have access to editing these pages, and must submit edit requests to a member of one of the following groups:
 * 1) Wiki Representative
 * 2) Fandom Helpers
 * 3) Fandom Staff
 * 4) Wiki Specialists
 * 5) submit a ticket.

Examples
The wiki community at large, including some editors from the Gamepedia community, has produced and published a significant variety of useful Widgets for public use.

Widgets catalog
For a list of publicly available Widgets, and for editors wanting to share Widgets they have built with a larger audience, the MediaWiki Widgets Catalog is a useful resource.
