I would like to improve the gadget sharing across Wikimedia projects. Since
there is no central repository for gadgets there is a huge mess: there is
no easy way to tell which gadgets exist across all wikis, small communities
don't get useful gadgets and some cool gadgets are used only by small
communities.
I created a IEG
proposal<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Visual_editor-_gadge…
improving gadget sharing and visual editor support in (relevant)
gadgets, and would like to have some feedback from users of other wikis.
Some basic explanation on gadgets, and gadgets statistics across projects
can be found now in meta <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gadgets>. You may
browse the statistics pages, such as the one for
wikipedia<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gadgets/wikipedia>to find
some gadgets that can be useful. Some of the gadgets I didn't think
of before and seems to be very useful (+many users enabled them) are
markadmins from ru, spell mistakes labelling (Rechtschreibpruefung) used in
de and fa, toolserver-integration from de, FlecheHaut (link to top) and
LastContrib (shows last edit, and helps to prevent edit conflict) from fr.
