When working with gadgets, one needs to have both Special:Gadgets and MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition open because Special:Gadgets contains useful links, but not gadgets' dependencies which are shown on MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition. Displaying dependencies on Special:Gadgets would solve this problem.

[[Special:Gadgets]] does this...
The problem with that page is that it doesn't shows the dependencies, and required rights of each gadget, forcing us to open both pages when analyzing some gadgets.

user rights are shown ("Requires the following right:"). If a gadget uses resourceloader and maybe has dependency is missing, that is a bug.

The task was filed about listing the page names of the gadget resources, and linking to them. This was done.
Later comments mention dependencies and user rights. These are also done now.

I understand that, but there isn't goint to be a UI on that page. It's the source page for the gadget definitions. Any interaction and rendering features will be on Special:Gadgets. If there's an issue with how to get from A to B, or the links have a usability issue on that page, we can work on that. Otherwise, I'll reclose this in a few days as resolved.
