Site customization request[]
It is easy enough for a registered user to customize the selection of gadgets they wish to see in the left-hand nav-bar.
I think it would be valuable if some MediaWiki message could specify those gadgets that you want your site's visitors to see by default. For a registered user that same list should become their initial list of gadgets which they may subsequently add/remove gadgets to/from to suit their personal preference.
If such a feature existed I would consider making these useful gadgets visible by default:
- Help needed
- Tips
- Shoutbox
- Top referrers

- Agreed that it would be nice - it has been on our to-do list for a while, but we've not found an appropriate time to do so yet. However, we are working on some tools that this could become part of. Stay tuned... Kirkburn (talk) 13:28, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- When I wrote the above comment, I did not appreciate the difference between a widget and gadget. Of course that comment pertained to widgets and not gadgets and shouldn't have been made here.
Gadgets defined at Wikia[]
This method for searching for gadget definitions at Wikia helped me. So maybe it'll help others. Google "allintitle: MediaWiki:Gadget- site:wikia.com"
I ran into a problem when the very first script I had copied over from mediawiki (w:c:test-najevi:MediaWiki:Gadget-UTCLiveClock.js) did not work. Upon closer inspection I discovered that Wikia does not name the various "portlets" using the same labels that mediawiki does. (Also the class labels are not compatible.)
- I conclude from this that importing Gadget scripts from mediawiki mw:Extension:Gadgets#List_of_gadget_scripts (and probably elsewhere) requires thoughtfully tracking and modifying such references before those gadgets can work correctly at Wikia.
Is that conclusion correct?

- Because Gadgets at mediawiki.org rely on Monobook for UI styles and structure, you need to adapt them to work in Monaco, or use Monobook as your skin. --Ciencia Al Poder (Discussion) en WikiDex 14:24, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
Cannot load gadgets on some wikis for one account[]
This is HM!00. Recently, I have enabled gadgets in an English and Greek Wikia. In the english one, I cannot enable one of them with my primary account but on the other ones, I can. So what I do? I contacted staff to see what's going wrong. I used my alt bot account and everything went okay. MarTsok 13:44, August 16, 2017 (UTC)
