===Gadgets===
Gadgets are powerful self-contained JS actions that are loaded ahead of [[MediaWiki:Common.js]], being loaded almost in tandem with the DOM. They need to be declared individually in [[MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition]], and the most useful arguments to use with them are "default" (which effectively turns them into a ResourceLoader) and "hidden" (cannot be disabled by users).
