This proposal is a larger suggestion that is out of scope for the Community Tech team. Participants are welcome to vote on it, but please note that regardless of popularity, there is no guarantee this proposal will be implemented. Supporting the idea helps communicate its urgency to the broader movement.
Thanks for the proposal, we will move this to larger suggestions, which brings extra attention to other teams, as this proposal requires more work than we can do as a team within a quarter. KSiebert (WMF) (talk) 20:03, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@KSiebert (WMF) could this be downscoped into something you feel more comfortable about? E.g. switching from MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition to the Gadget: namespace? (Although I'm not sure Gadgets 2.0 as a whole is that challenging to do within a quarter.) Tgr (talk) 00:38, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Tgr:@Matěj Suchánek: We would like that, if Matěj agrees, it would be nice if you could collaboratively adjust the proposal text to be able to reduce scope and then we could move it back into it's appropriate column KSiebert (WMF) (talk) 19:35, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think @SD0001 was the last person to work in this area and @Krinkle has the widest perspective on gadgets work, so maybe they have insights on what would be a reasonably-scoped step. Tgr (talk) 20:26, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
migrating to the Gadgets namespace (this is the main chunk of the Gadgets 2.0 functionality, but it's mostly already done, just not enabled)
a nice UI for defining gadget properties (T31398) - which doesn't offer new functionality so I'm not sure if it's the best thing to direct limited development resources at
allow declaring i18n messages used by the gadget
AIUI even the three together would be a relatively small amount of work.
There is also ongoing work on user-namespace gadgets (T36958) which might only need some code review love (plus it needs the namespace migration). Tgr (talk) 06:44, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Like hello? Userscripts help enable editors to make a significant portion of their edits faster every day. Getting this finished means -> more people using userscripts -> more contributions to our wikis. Lectrician1 (talk) 22:37, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
