Hi! Responding to your request for feedback, due to reasons, I develop my
tools and gadgets on-wiki (example 1
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-Global-ProveIt.js>, 2
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-Global-MiniEdit.js>, 3
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-Synchronizer.js>, 4
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-Global-WikiForm.js>). I'm
sure other script and gadget developers don't have dedicated repos at
GitHub or GitLab. Thus, I think it would be useful if the tool could
monitor specific JS and CSS files on-wiki. Cheers!
