Hi all, in the new tradition of posting little gadget ideas and requests here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gadget_kitchen/Requests#Automatic_updates_to_… This would be helpful for pages which use bug templates like [[mw:Template:Tracked]] to inform users about the status of bugs they care about. If it's useful and efficient, we could promote it to default gadget or site script. Any takers? :) Cheers, Erik -- Erik Möller VP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

I fiddled with the request parameters for a while trying to get the JSON RPC to not throw errors. I settled with a URL request for now which is working nicely. Feel free to shoot me ideas / thoughts on how this could be improved.
