User:Sohom Datta/Bi Weekly Report 2

A really great and fun-filled community bonding period has come to a close. Personally, it's been great to learn about how MediaWiki functions and how various systems work in tandem with each other. Whenever I step backwards and try to visualize the whole software I feel a realization about the enormous amount of work and time that went into the creation of this.

Work
The third week started with me doing a deep dive into ResourceLoader and how it works. While figuring out how I would start implementing the widget, we realized that there wasn't any particular indication of which input field expected/contained the  tag in the Index: edit pages. Most wikis use the "pages" parameter, however it is entirely possible to completely omit that field or to use a field with a different name. This was a bit of a bummer 'cause we expected that we would be able to identify the field that contains the  tag and replace that field with a different widget that allows us to progressively enhance the text field.
