Thread:User talk:Yair rand/Cite with Reference Tooltips/reply

I don't think it was done as a gadget other than my version, though I could be mistaken. (I might also be misunderstanding what counts as a "gadget".)

The English Wikipedia community is currently discussing whether to enable the Reference Tooltips gadget by default at w:WP:VPR. (It was covered in the Signpost a bit ago, and has been in the Centralized Discussion for a while.) While I personally am in favor of leaving the issue of whether/how to enable a ReferenceTooltips feature up to the community, I understand that the Wikimedia Foundation often makes major changes without getting consensus first. I hope that if the WMF does enable the feature that the community is at least informed ahead of time. If the WMF isn't going to go around the community, and the community supports the feature, it will probably be implemented as a gadget (and thus under the community's control), so it wouldn't be necessary to integrate in into Werdna's extension addition.

As I mentioned in response to your post on my Mediawiki talk page some weeks ago (I assume you didn't see the response), I much prefer communicating on-wiki instead of using email. I hope that is acceptable. My Mediawiki talk page isn't the "wrong" talk page, by the way; I frequently check my Wiktionary, Wikipedia, Meta, and Mediawiki talk pages and contacting me through any of them is perfectly fine.

(Since you probably won't be checking Wiktionary for a response soon, I'll go leave a talkback on your MW and Meta talk pages.)
