Description

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

Edit any page in the main namespace while logged out of any Wikimedia account.

What happens?:

The button to open the gadget does not appear in the page and the console shows the following error:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: can't access property "gender", json.query.users[0] is undefined
    getGender user.js.js:31
user.js.js:31:3

What should have happened instead?:

The button to open the gadget should appear above the edit form.

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
Gadget version: 6.5.0

Cause:
In getGender() of MediaWiki:Gadget-wikt.core/user.js, the API query returns an empty users array when the function expects at least one element:

async function getGender(api, username) {
  const params = {
    action: "query",
    list: "users",
    ususers: username || mw.config.get("wgUserName"),
    usprop: "gender",
    format: "json",
    formatversion: 2,
  };
  const json = await api.get(params);
  return json.query.users[0].gender;
}

The bug comes from an external dependency. This was fixed directly on the wiki.
