Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Per http://www.allourideas.org/wikimediagadgets/results and http://www.allourideas.org/wikimediaaccesorios/results?locale=es.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:DerHexer/revisionjumper
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-revisionjumper.js - gadget code
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:DerHexer - maintainer

Please answer the following questions:

  • Are there high priority bugs or features that the Community Tech team could address in a short period of time?
  • If so, is the maintainer amendable to working with us and is the code publicly available?
  • Would this be a good tool to convert into a MediaWiki extension or add as functionality to an existing extension?

There aren't many bugs or feature requests that I could find. There is one bug that doesn't appear to have been fixed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:DerHexer/revisionjumper#Revisionjumper_option_in_Firefox_kills_section_anchor_links_to_oldid_revisions

Revisionjumper already has i18n: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-revisionjumper-config.js

I'm not aware of a logical extension to add these features to, but we could turn this into a tiny extension if needed.

Results of the this investigation are T110160 and T110159.
