Different dummy edit?
@Clearfrienda This does seem like a pretty useful script! However, maybe the dummy edit should be adding an extra newline at the end of the page? I feel like such comments will be confusing to future editors. Also, I'd suggesting marking the edit as minor by default. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:11, 2 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the suggestions. I've made it mark the dummy edit as minor and add a new line instead of the comment, although I couldn't figure out how to do so without also adding an invisible character (U+200B). For some reason I can add a space/new line in the web editor and it will still "register" as an actual change, but it doesn't seem to work when calling the API directly.

About namespace restrictions
Hey Clearfrienda! Thanks for writing this script, I'm sure it's going to come in handy for future reviewing. The script is currently displaying a link on special pages (I found it on my watchlist using MonoBook) where it obviously doesn't do anything. I would suggest restricting the namespaces where the link appears, excluding those which use non-wikitext content models and possibly also talk pages, where it would have limited uses. Let me know if you have any questions! — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh ) 01:22, 3 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the suggestion. I was planning on doing this but forgot. The script will now only display the menu link on pages in the article and draft namespace (I don't see it ever being used anywhere else).  C F A   💬  00:21, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
