[mediawiki/extensions/Gadgets@master] Add support for gadgets section descriptions
The message name ended up to be a bit confusing since gadget section headers use Gadget-section- convention but these new messages use Gadgets-section-info- convention. Personally I think this needs to be fixed before it gets too prevalent. (I tried creating the section description by going to header description from Special:Gadgets and adding -info- and that’s how I spotted the issue.) @SD0001 @Novem_Linguae, what do you think?
My suggestion is that both should start either with Gadget- or Gadgets- (Gadget- being preferable due to being an older convention and not requiring much changes). Right now it seems unsynchronised between the two despite the messages being related (one is section header and another is section description).
Oh I think I see what you mean now. One starts with gadget- and the other starts with gadgets-.
(gadget-section-browsing)
(gadgets-section-info-browsing)
I'll write a patch to change the new one to start with gadget-, for consistency. Thanks for spotting.

Gadgets-, with the s, was chosen to avoid conflicting with the description messages of gadgets (which start with Gadget-, without the s). In retrospect, agreed that being consistent with section name messages (which can already name-conflict anyway) makes more sense.
