Suggestion for user script
Hi, I recently installed User:BrandonXLF/ParameterSpacing and it appears to be very useful tool for me. There's a suggestion I'd like to share. Add spaces option before and after vertical bars (|) too. Sometimes, we may have templates embedded within another template. In such a case, adding more spaces before the bar of the embedded one will provide a better visual cue to the editor of such a page. ---CX Zoom(he/him) (let's talk&#124;contribs) 14:38, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Issues with SubpageMover script
Hi Brandon XLF, while responding to a RM as its closer, I had to move the page to. I hit the "Move page and subpages" button. This caused every page of the format "Servant of the People XYZ" to move to "Servant of the People (TV series) XYZ". For example, Servant of the People (disambiguation) was moved to Servant of the People (TV series) (disambiguation) (now speedy deleted). And Servant of the People (political party) was moved to Servant of the People (TV series) (political party) (also speedy deleted). Can you please fix this issue? Thanks! ---CX Zoom(he/him) (let's talk&#124;contribs) 13:43, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

Template Timeline
Hi, I mostly work on Serbian Wiki and lately making pages about Canada, Canada history, RCMP, OPP, Canadas provinces and I found that this template can be quite useful for me than I started to look is anything already exist on Wiki. Today a saw your template: timeline page. I like this template and I tried to make it work on Serbian Wiki, but no success (I have no experience with this type of templates). Can you help on this? László  (talk)  14:47, 19 March 2022 (UTC)


 * @Laslovarga What's the exact problem you're facing? From what I can see right now, it looks like you forgot to copy over Module:Timeline/styles.css. – Brandon XLF  (talk) 18:47, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply, if its only that than I just going to do it -- László  (talk)  21:29, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for help, yes that was the problem! László  (talk)  21:35, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Subpage mover bug
Hi Brandon! User:BrandonXLF/SubpageMover appears to have a bug—when I tried to move Template:Beeronme to Template:Beeronme, it dropped the colon and instead moved it to TemplateBeer on me, plus it failed to move the doc subpage at all. When I tried to move it from the bad title, it complained I was trying to move it to itself, so the bug is replicable, and when I switched to using the non-gadget mover, it was successful, so it seems to be coming from the script. Resolving it will, of course, earn you a free beer &#123;{u&#124;  Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 02:07, 30 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Looks like the script had some issues handling pages with namespaces, but they should be fixed now. Let me know if you encounter any other bugs. – Brandon XLF  (talk) 02:19, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Suggested edit
Hi, I suggest the following edit to User:BrandonXLF/Restorer.js:  →   since many users use the script on different wikis other than Wikipedia, so it would be better to have the summary link to the exact correct page on the wiki it's located rather than a red link. Also, it'd be harmless as the edit would make no appearance-change even here. Best, —Svārtava (t/u) • 14:21, 15 April 2022 (UTC)


 * ✅ I've also applied to change to my other user scripts. – Brandon XLF  (talk) 23:39, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Consider adding  also, since, for example, if I am at eswiktionary,   leads me to eswiki rather than enwiki. —Svārtava  (t/u) • 08:54, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh sorry, I didn't realize that's how that works, I'll fix that now. – Brandon XLF  (talk) 02:43, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Restorer script
Hi BrandonXLF! First of all, I want to thank you for creating such an awesome script! Unfortunately, though, I did find an issue. On the edit history of a given page, when an entry on the history page is of an edit that has been revision deleted, the links after the entry (undo, thank, etc) do not appear. Hence, I'm seeing the "restore" button appear in the list of links that appear after the performing editor's user account or IP address (talk, contribs, etc) in that entry instead. In these situations, it would be better to check if the revision text is rev del'd and, if so, don't have the restore button display on that entry at all.

I've uploaded a screenshot here with the issue highlighted so that you could see it. Obviously, I have a bunch of other custom scrips enabled, which may be causing the issue with this script. However, I used it on many different history pages and in situations that I thought might also break it, and this is the only situation where I found it to break - with rev del'd revisions.

Anyways, I just wanted to send this along to you. I figured you'd appreciate it. :-) Cheers -  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   09:47, 9 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for reporting the issue and for the image, it is much appreciated. I've updated way the script finds the list of links to add the restore link to so that it only adds the restore link to the list after the comment (where is still in the html even if the revision has no comment). – Brandon XLF  (talk) 16:52, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * BrandonXLF - Awesome! Thanks for making those changes! :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   00:41, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

FloatHead conflicts with the sticky table headers gadget

LinkCount
Hi, seems like is down, can you check on that? — xaosflux  Talk 22:38, 30 May 2022 (UTC)


 * @Xaosflux It looks like the  database view is not accessible, so there's not much I can do besides waiting until it's accessible again. It looks like it has something to do with T60674. –  Brandon XLF  (talk) 23:08, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for checking, if you ever get it working again we can re-add it to MediaWiki:Linkshere. — xaosflux  Talk 00:06, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Portlet Link Manager
I'm trying it out. You said that once installed, it can be accessed at Special:BlankPage/PortletManager, but that for me leads nowhere (i.e. just to that intentionally left blank page). What am I doing wrong? — Guarapiranga ☎ 10:48, 2 June 2022 (UTC)


 * @Guarapiranga It looks like the script isn't installed properly in your common.js. The line  should be  . –  Brandon XLF  (talk) 13:17, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

mw-userlink in Restorer.js returns translated text when auto-translation is used
Hi, I have been using Restorer.js globally. During some work I was doing on Marathi Wikipedia, I had to use auto-translation in my browser. I used restorer on an article (see page history). Here, the edit summary says "Restored revision 1313944 by j". "User j" does not exist. In fact, I restored edits of "User ज" whose English translation is "j" and mw-userlink returned the translated string instead of the actual username. I think this is a MediaWiki bug? But thought that I should inform you first. Thanks! &#8212;CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 05:40, 12 August 2022 (UTC)


 * ✅ I've updated the extension to get the username from the server in a separate request. It makes the script a bit slower because of the extra request, but it's not really noticeable since the main request takes much longer to complete. The script shouldn't be expecting the text of mw-userlink to be the username anyways since extensions and user scripts can modify it. – Brandon XLF  (talk) 23:56, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

CollapseSections: typo in configuration example
Hi BrandonXLF

Thanks for this very useful script! I have wrapped it by code to make it optionally activated via a tab. The code is identical to my code snippet User:Sm8ps/SectionEditing listed under User_scripts/List.

I noticed a typo in the section User:BrandonXLF/CollapseSections. The configuration variable should read -- of course --.

Cheers! --Sm8ps (talk) 13:22, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

linkcount.toolforge.org is not working
Hey, just a heads-up that your tool is not working any more, and all requests outside the UI return 500 Internal Server Error. It is very helpful to me :-) stjn 13:25, 7 September 2022 (UTC)


 * @Stjn There is some sort of issue with the replica database. I've created a task at T317258. – Brandon XLF  (talk) 22:30, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I've updated the tool to support the updated database format and the other issues with the replica database have been resolved now. The tool should work as expected now, please let me know if it doesn't. I'm glad to see that you are finding the tool's API helpful :) – Brandon XLF  (talk) 08:19, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Help with IKEA ownership chart
Hello, I'm Altaf. I work for the IKEA Foundation. I've been looking for someone to help me make a change to the IKEA ownership chart. Currently, it describes the Stichting INGKA Foundation as the parent of the Stichting IKEA Foundation, but that's inaccurate, they are independent entities. I see you've worked on the template in the past and thought you might be interested in taking a look at my request here. Thank you! AMfromIKEA (talk) 20:11, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

User:BrandonXLF/WPBannerNavbar.js
At some point in the nearer rather than further future,  styles will be removed from Common.css and Mobile.css in favor of TemplateStyles. This is a headsup to adjust what this script is doing. The replacement is at Template:Hlist/styles.css in case you wish to load the sheet in JavaScript instead. Izno (talk) 17:17, 23 December 2022 (UTC)


 * ✅ I've decided to just call the parse API instead of having the script load two TemplateStyles. Thanks for the notice. – Brandon XLF  (talk) 23:33, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
