WikiQueer:Widgets

Widgets allow for the creation of raw HTML pages that can be embedded (similarly to templates) in normal wiki pages. You do this by creating pages in the Widget namespace. They avoid the security problems of raw HTML in editable wiki pages because the privilege to edit in the Widget namespace is managed. The Widgets extension has become the generally-accepted means of embedding raw HTML in MediaWiki, and many pre-written Widgets are available.

Information
All widgets in the wiki are defined by creating pages in the special Widget: namespace, which is automatically added to your wiki when you install this extension.

To see all Widgets defined in your system, you can simply go to the page Special:AllPages, select "Widget" in the namespace dropdown and click "Go".

For security reasons, these pages are only editable by widget editors.

Current Widgets
It is possible to insert certain widgets into pages. Ones that you may find useful include:
