Widgets can be embedded on any page using the "<widget> put widget name here </widget>" tags.

Widgets are self-contained tools which provide information or navigation to users. In the past they could only be displayed on your sidebar or on your Special:WidgetDashboard page, but now they can be displayed anywhere.

With the "Wiki page in Widget" widget, you can also point it at any article and have that show up on the page, too.

Many widgets can be customized by changing their default preferences. WidgetTag allows you to customize widget just like widget editor does.

How do I embed a widget?

Put the widget "Community" in our article by placing the widget's name between opening and closing <widget> tags:

<widget>Community</widget>

It will render as:

Community

You can also change any widget preferences that would normally be customized in the widget's editor:

<widget limit="5">RecentChanges</widget>

Can I float the widget?

The widget can be floated to left or right so that other page text flows around it:

<div style="float:right; margin:0 5px">'''Recent changes'''<widget limit="25">RecentChanges</widget></div>
<div style="float:left; margin:0 5px">'''Top Users'''<widget>TopUsers</widget></div>

Example

The Recent Changes widget is floated to the right and the Top Users widget is floated to the left of the following text:


Recent changes
Top Users
