Is this where I report a bug in a gadget?
I tried reporting a bug in a gadget to Phabricator and they said they don't support gadgets because gadgets are local content. Is this the way to report it?
The gadget is "Add an [edit] link for the lead section of a page" in the main Wiki, which is enabled at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets-gadget-section-appearance.
The bug is described in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T426285 (closed).

- This is not a bug but rather an intentional change per en:MediaWiki talk:Gadget-edittop.js#Edit request: Use new default autocomment / phab:T2156#11881517. Johannnes89 (talk) 19:58, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
Newer, improved expiry watchlist version gone!?
Right now, we're now using the old version of expiry watchlist popup feature. What happened to the one where I no longer had to disable-and-reenable a star icon? George Ho (talk) 01:43, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
