The underlying issues with Gadgets is that the definitions are always cached (I forget how long for). So when the request fails for whatever reason, the result is an empty page (the default message) and the emptiness is cached which means no gadgets are loaded because as far as the extension is concerned they don't exist.

The fix is to not cache empty responses, which was done on the newer version and requested on Wikia. But.... that was over a year ago now and it's yet to materialise. It might have even been closed after support was officially dropped.
