Weird additions to Special:WantedTemplates
The JavaScript here creates some undesirable nonsense entries in Special:WantedTemplates:
 * (Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:' + gameCapture + ')
 * (Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:' + gameCapture + '\\‏‎)

We should figure out how to fix these. PhantomCaleb (talk) 20:41, 31 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Gadget wasn't working for me anymore and I'm not sure it ever caught on with others. Just deleted it. Problem solved. :) PhantomCaleb (talk) 05:36, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Current Page Term Hotkey Reserved on Some Input Methods
After an unknown update, the English (UK) input method started using the same shortcut as the current page term hotkey,, to produce  , which is overriding the gadget hotkey. I'm certain it is dependent on the input method being used as the hotkey works as intended when set to the Japanese input method. Unsure if this also affects the English (US) input method. If it doesn't, would it be possible to add a backup hotkey? 13:19, 26 February 2023 (UTC)


 * enUS is unaffected on macOS. I don't have the ability to test on Windows at the moment.
 * I see two potential solutions:
 * Find a key combination that isn't used by any operating system or browser by default
 * Have the gadget override the existing hotkey
 * So I guess the question is, can we find that key combination that satisfies #1? PhantomCaleb (talk) 00:46, 6 March 2023 (UTC)


 * I don't think #1 has to be quite as thorough as you suggest. It just needs to not be used on any OS or browser that already uses  if we make a backup hotkey. I'd rather not alter the hotkey for everyone to deal with an issue that doesn't affect the vast majority of editors (assuming enUS on Windows is also unaffected). But, to find something that satisfies the condition, I guess it depends on how thorough you want to be. Windows has lots of different input methods. At what point does it become not worth checking some of them?  10:12, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
