I'm using the current master branch from git of Widgets and MediaWiki 1.20.2. I've used the Widget extension for a while now and noticed that in the newest releases there is a bug preventing the Widget namespace from registering. The most obvious issue is when using Special:PrefixIndex the Widget namespace is not available in the dropdown menu. Related though are these messages: ...from Special:Version Allows wiki administrators to add free-form widgets to the wiki by editing pages within the Template:Ns:widget namespace. Community-contributed widgets can be found on MediaWikiWidgets.org ...from Special:ListGroupRights Create and edit widgets in the Template:Ns:widget namespace (editwidgets) Looking in the source I see that those are all references to {{ns:widget}} which MediaWiki is interpreting as a template call with redlink. You can see this issue live at http://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Special:Version
I downgraded from 0.10.0 to 0.9.2 to continue to use this for now, but definitely could not get 0.10.0 to work right. I also observed similar issues on other sites running 0.10.0.
