Template gadget request[edit]

It is requested that edits be made to the following pages:

MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition (edit · history · last · links)
MediaWiki:Gadget-Vivarium.js (edit · history · last · links)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any interface administrator. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EIp}} template in the response. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

‹ The template Edit interface-protected is being considered for merging. ›

I would like to add the Game of Life template gadget to the article, immediately below the Origins heading. (Please see the discussion here for details.) 28bytes (talk) 02:09, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Specific steps for an interface admin to follow:

Copy mw:MediaWiki:Gadget-Global-Vivarium.js to MediaWiki:Gadget-Vivarium.js

Add the following line to MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition#modules:

* Vivarium[ResourceLoader|hidden|default|categories=Pages using Conway's Game of Life gadget]|Vivarium.js

(optional and only requires a regular admin) Add the following lines to User:SDZeroBot/Gadgets-sync-config.json:

		{
			"source": "mw:MediaWiki:Gadget-Global-Vivarium.js",
			"page": "MediaWiki:Gadget-Vivarium.js",
			"talkPage": "MediaWiki talk:Gadget-Vivarium.js"
		}

(optional and requires no advanced permissions) add {{Conway's Game of Life gadget}} to the appropriate place on this page.

See mw:Template gadgets for a general description of this system. I am personally unlikely to use my own interface admin permission to break into this uncharted territory , but describing the exact edit requested for the aid of whoever is brave enough to do so. Xaosflux described this as needing "serious testing" at MediaWiki talk:Common.js#Class-triggered gadgets. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:30, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can the primary functionality for this be tested via supportsUrlLoad options while the greater question about managing these category triggers can occur? We should probably put them all in to some standard naming convention (e.g. Category:Wikipedia Gadget-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) or the like? — xaosflux ^Talk 22:49, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't think of any reason it wouldn't. And I'm fine with using any naming convention. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 00:48, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, the remote source indicated to source this script from does not appear to exist. — xaosflux ^Talk 23:06, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"global" should be capitalised.— Qwerfjkl talk 23:48, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for making a typo. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 00:48, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
