Thanks for taking the time to report this!

That's very likely a problem with the gadget in question, not with MediaWiki software. So I'm closing this bug report as INVALID, as this problem is not about server configuration or code in the MediaWiki codebase, but about local scripts on a specific Wikipedia that anybody could fix on-wiki.
