Description

One of the big piece of this GSoC project: T219193 would be to add a tabbed window on all API pages in the Help namespace on MediaWiki.org. This tabbed window will show sample code in different programming languages showing how to make use of an API module.

Though, the UserFeedback gadget was initially deployed on Wikitech (and it worked well there): T213782, it would be good to have this enabled on MediaWiki now. This will help us learn if the documentation improvements made as part of the Outreach program projects to API docs were helpful or not.

Steps to do so I imagine would be:

Check if it is okay to do so on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Current_issues in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:V1gwsbljqo1lzwul
Recruit a MediaWiki admin who could execute these steps that were used for deploying on Wikitech: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213782#4956527
Change the following line in the JS code: supportedNamespaces = ['Help'] to supportedNamespaces = ['API']
Make messages translatable on #mw-userfeedback-form

For the step 2, actually only one interface admin is active the last 30 days ; it's @Wargo (Special:ActiveUser), If he not responding, you can ask to a global interface admin or a staff.

Gadget enabled and can now be activated on Special:Preferences, see the post.

Personnal feedback : it's possible to create OOUI like and dislike ? The actual "emoji" looks weird compared to the rest of the page

@Tomybrz @Wargo Thank you so much for quick response on this! I've two more changes to request:

In response to your feedback – I realized why the thumbs-up/down button was looking weird. It was due to a last minute untested change. I've fixed the CSS now, so the emojis, for now, should not look odd. So, if you can replace the CSS in here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-userfeedback.css with https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:SSethi_(WMF)/common.css that would be wonderful.
Also, I would like the gadget to be available by default as it is on Wikitech https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition because we want to gather votes from all users, and not just who are logged in. It would be great if you could update the Gadget definition.

Thanks again for all your help!

@Shirayuki @Tomybrz I don't seem to find a quick method to make messages in the form translatable. I see this documentation https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Gadgets/Gadgets_2.0#Adding_multi-language_support_to_a_gadget but it is for 2.0 :-/ If I find an easy fix for this, I will work on it soon!

IMHO separate tasks should be filed as separate tasks.
This task called "Enable UserFeedback Gadget on MediaWiki" should be resolved because the UserFeedback gadget is now enabled on MediaWiki.org.
