MediaWiki:Gadget-dictionaryLookupHover.js

Hi, I'm from Wikisource Turkish. I want to use your "Gadget-dictionaryLookupHover" (I saw it here for the first time)gadget in Turkish wikisorce. I wrote on Meta but they said "has no tr code component." Can we make this gadget compatible with Turkish Wiktionary? --Satirdan kahraman (talk) 12:45, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

@Satirdan kahraman: The gadget doesn't even work in english anymore. Sorry I'm not really maintaining it anymore. Bawolff ☺☻ 03:26, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Wikinews logo?

How would we go about turning the wikinews logo black (or perhaps substituting the obit version of the logo) for a while? (Three days has been suggested as appropriate, given brianmc's role on the project, and I'd really like to do it, but honestly don't recall how.) --Pi zero (talk) 00:34, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

you can override the logo with css like .mw-wiki-logo {background-image: url(put url here) !important;}. Bawolff ☺☻ 01:31, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

What's our sourcing for the information about brianmc? Not to put too fine a point on it, how do we know? --Pi zero (talk) 01:34, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

But will it work for everyone? You mean, to edit site's CSS, right

Yes, i mean edit mediawiki:Common.css. Source is a facebook post. Bawolff ☺☻ 02:04, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

The platform interface is twitchy as all get-out, but I've found a combination that works. Thx. --Pi zero (talk) 05:17, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Using Wiktionary lookup gadget on own MW site

Thanks for your work on the Wiktionary lookup gadget. I would like to use it on my own MW site in a way that it executes a search on my site on double-clicking a word. How could I do that?--Spiros71 (talk) 12:12, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

The script is a little broken right now, because the API no longer allows framing. It would be possible to work around this with a proxy, but I'm not really maintaining the script anymore. If it weren't for that issue, you could just load the following JS file on your site: https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Gadget-dictionaryLookupHover.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&scrver=1 . but i haven't tested it in a long time so there might be other issues.
