Widgets are pages in the Widget namespace (e.g. Widget:Twitter) that can be transcluded like templates but can contain raw HTML, including:

  • <script> tags to run any JavaScript (local or remote)
  • <style> tags to load any CSS (local or remote)
  • <iframe> tags to embed any content (local or remote)
  • Smarty syntax

This makes widgets very powerful and useful, but also apt for misuse, so for security reasons, they can only be created or edited by admins and allowed users. If you'd like to develop a widget, you can request the necessary permission at the Village pump.
