wgPopupsConflictingRefTooltipsGadgetName is not working
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT
Actions

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • Install the MediaWiki, and Popups extensions.
  • Create a gadget with a name other than ReferenceTooltips.
  • Set its gadget name against $wgPopupsConflictingRefTooltipsGadgetName
  • Enable both that gadget and the reference preview in the preferences.

What happens?:
You should be able to see that the reference preview is not disabled even if that gadget is turned on.

What should have happened instead?:
When the gadget set in $wgPopupsConflictingRefTooltipsGadgetName is on, the reference preview should be disabled.

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
MediaWiki 1.43.3 (8476617)
Popups (e14d905)

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
This problem was first reported on Minecraft Wiki Japanese, but is also occurring on regular MediaWiki.
Therefore, I do not believe Weird Gloop is causing this problem.

Yes, the name of the config variable changed. I just updated that on the extensions help page. Unfortunately the old name was still used there. If there's still a problem even when you use the new name feel free to re-open this task.

Sorry for the long delay.
I built and tested a clean server running MediaWiki 1.45.1.
And in that environment I was able to confirm that $wgCiteReferencePreviewsConflictingRefTooltipsGadgetName works instead of $wgPopupsConflictingRefTooltipsGadgetName.
It seems that only the documentation had an issue.
Thank you for your assistance.
