Add switcher[edit source | reply | new]

Can you please add the following code to the end of the MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition, it's needed to get the Template:Switcher radio buttons working. As with the previous code, it's copied from Wikipedia so should not be an issue. User:Kmdenmark notjusttired (talk) 21:45, July 2, 2019 (EDT)


* SidebarTranslate[ResourceLoader|type=general]|SidebarTranslate.js|SidebarTranslate.css

I'm a bit confused. I thought the gadget you wanted to install was "Gadget-switcher.js", not "SidebarTranslate.js"?
I'm also curious. Does Wikipedia review gadgets in any way? I thought that Wikipedia did not endorse the gadgets that individual users come up with...

Sorry User:Kmdenmark - I copied in the wrong code. Can you delete the sidebar code and use this instead

* switcher[ResourceLoader|default|targets=desktop,mobile]|switcher.js

Thanks notjusttired (talk) 15:49, July 4, 2019 (EDT)

User:Pyrrhus Wikipedia doesn't endorse most of the code there except the MediaWiki software, eg not the Module, Templates or other things. But if it's been added and been in place so long it's unlikely to be problematic. It's basic Javascript and easy enough to read. notjusttired (talk) 15:49, July 4, 2019 (EDT)
