MediaWiki talk:Gadget-LongEditSummaries.js

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'parentNode' of null
When I created a discusssion page and pasted the content into the summary, I got Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'parentNode' of null https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Gadget-LongEditSummaries.js&ctype=text/javascript&action=raw&smaxage=21600&maxage=86400:25 which refers to this line: wpMinoredit.parentNode.insertBefore(editSummaryTooLong, wpMinoredit) Helder 13:23, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

, what do you think of merging the history of User:Remember the dot/Long edit summary.js on MediaWiki:Gadget-LongEditSummaries.js, since [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Remember_the_dot/Long_edit_summary.js&oldid=265423285&diff=265651824 this gadget was created with an exact copy] of your subpage?

 * Declined for the same reason as below. —Remember the dot (talk) 04:47, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

, could you update this gadget with [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=597564049&oldid=265651824 these changes]? Helder.wiki 19:49, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: What would be the point? The default max length of the edit summary was raised from ~200 bytes to 250 bytes in February 2011 (MediaWiki 1.17), rendering the gadget "" ineffective; but it took over six months before it was from the gadget list in preferences. Since then, the limit has again been raised from 250 to 255 bytes. -- Red rose64 (talk) 21:23, 1 March 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm actually surprised that this page hasn't been deleted already. Is there some reason we're keeping it around? —Remember the dot (talk) 04:47, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, I had a vague memory that it no longer worked, but since there are still a few users who import these old scripts, I thought it would be better to at least make them not to use deprecated methods... So I updated the fork which is at pt:MediaWiki:Gadget-sumariomaior.js and then suggested the same updates here because I know it is not funny at all to keep many forks of "global" gadgets synced until Gadgets 2.0 is available...
 * Anyway, for future reference, now that you confirmed it really doesn't work anymore, I searched the archives and found these:
 * WP:Village pump (technical)/Archive 93
 * Village pump (technical)/Archive 93
 * 66913 seems to be the revision which increased the limit from 200 to 250
 * 15622 increased the limit to 255 bytes
 * Maybe add a comment to the script pointing out why it was removed or to a discussion about that? Helder.wiki 18:55, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The second of your four bullets indicates that it was who wished the scripts be retained. -- Red rose64 (talk) 20:08, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
