Description

The english wikipedia is already loaded with gadgets. If someone gets really bored, we should see about redesigning that to show the gadgets that a user has enabled + "Add a gadget". The Add button could open something like a searchable gadget directory alla Google (see link).

Maybe who fix this could also keep bug 19288 in mind, so that users could have a way to sort gadgets either by

Functionality (current behavior); or
Popularity.

On the other hand, fixing this would probably mean not fixing bug 18113.
