Description

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

Select one or more gadgets in your Wikisource preferences page (e.g. "ajouter un bouton lang" on the French Wikisource)
Edit a page in Wikisource

What happens?:
The gadget does not appear (e.g. a button above the editing field) when editing a page.
But it appears in Preview mode.

What should have happened instead?:
The gadget should appear in both Edit and Preview modes.

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
In the Firefox debugger, I noticed that, in Edit mode, no ext.gadget Javascript file is loaded.
These files are loaded in Preview mode (ex. https://fr.wikisource.org/w/load.php?lang=fr&modules=ext.gadget.Template-lang&skin=vector-2022&version=in1hk)

A similar problem was mentioned the English Scriptorium, so I guess it's not language-specific. It probably appeared today, or very recently.

Likely to be because of https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/Gadgets/+/460422 / T161278.

On the English Wiktionary, we are experiencing MediaWiki:Edittools failing to display properly or be clickable, under the same conditions (it stopped working when editing a page, but works when previewing it), as described at https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Grease_pit/2025/November#MediaWiki:Edittools. Curiously, English Wikipedia's Edittools appear to still be working.
