After T178438#3696251, @Elitre and I spent a little while debugging why Page Previews wasn't detecting that the NavPopups gadget was enabled. Per T178438#3696349, it turned out that the gadget was enabled in their global.js on metawiki.

@phuedx - currently, the message reads: "Certain gadgets and other customizations may affect the performance of this feature. If you experience problems please review your gadgets and user scripts." I think that covers this case as well.
@ovasileva: I don't see any harm in explicitly calling out NavPopups here (I'm assuming by "may affect the performance of this feature" we mean "will conflict with this feature"), nor do I see an issue with linking to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/JavaScript#Personal_scripts.
How about "Certain gadgets and other customizations may affect the performance of this feature. If you experience problems please review your gadgets and user scripts: (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/JavaScript#Personal_scripts). In particular, users may experience issues with the NavPopups gadget."
Suggestion: "Certain gadgets and other customizations may affect the performance of this feature. If you experience problems please review your gadgets and user scripts, including global ones".
The entire point of this task is that it didn't even occur to me that there was a global thing that I had set up and that I should have checked.

I'll be bold and merge the copy and move it to sign off. Changing the copy is trivial so if we want to add something/change sth it won't be a problem.
