Err, actually someone else floated it, and I responded.

I better find some caffeine.

Hey Group

Any thoughts on using Twinkle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Twinkle

How about WikEd http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cacycle/wikEd

I find both of these very useful.

An enhancement request on Bugzilla, with a link back to the discussion.

Twinkle and wikEd are custom JavaScript gadgets developed by Wikipedia users. That means they're not proper extensions for MediaWiki, but rather built on MediaWiki's facilities for writing little JavaScript gadgets on-wiki. Any admin can take a crack at creating gadgets on Wikivoyage, and updating the definitions here:

http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Gadgets has a bit more background on how the whole system works. It's pretty hackish. Depending on how complex and how Wikipedia-centric the code is, getting gadgets to run on Wikivoyage may be easy or hard. Twinkle, for example, has a big note here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Twinkle#Twinkle_on_other_wikis

"Some parts of Twinkle are easily portable to other MediaWiki-based wikis: the revert/rollback module, for example. But most modules have been designed only with English Wikipedia in mind. For instance, the CSD module relies on templates which most likely do not exist on other wikis."

Bugzilla isn't the best place for requests relating to user scripts and gadgets, because these are developed on-wiki and the maintainers are often not following requests on Bugzilla. It's often worth contacting the developers directly. There's also a centralized page for requests relating to user scripts and gadgets, here:
