ref tags
Hi. Id like to see block highlighting. I think that would make dealing with these a bit easier, though now I just realised that conjoined tags would probably show a contiguous highlight color... Dunno how to deal with that. -Stevertigo 19:25, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Making scripts compatible with wikEd
Note that the method described under #Making scripts compatible with wikEd only works as long as you don't try to do anything with selections. Otherwise it will fail badly: even a supposedly fail-safe test like  will result in an exception being thrown. (WikEd 0.9.38a, Firefox 2.0.0.6/Win) This is probably a Firefox bug, but it would be nice to see some documentation of WikEdGetText so one can write truly WikEd-compatible scripts. --Tgr 16:19, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

More generally, functions to get/replace the various kinds of text WikEd can handle (whole, selection, focusline etc.) would be nice. Piecing things together from the button handling code has a bad effect on one's sanity. :-) --Tgr 18:51, 20 August 2007 (UTC)


 * If I understand you correctly, you want to maintain (= copy) the selection from the iframe to the copied text in the textarea. That's not an easy task and would need some hacking - although some helper functions are probably already hidden in the wikEd code. I will check that.
 * The wikEd text fragments to manipulate would probably only make sense if you want to write an iframe handling wikEd extension.
 * What are you working on, maybe I could help better when I now what you are up to :-) Cacycle 23:22, 20 August 2007 (UTC)


 * You could try something like the following (completely untested and not complete):

Thanks, but I just needed a way to read and replace the selected text; i think that (together with inserting text at the cursor) is a far more frequent task. I eventually ended up with something like this (mostly copy-and-pasted blindly from the WikEd code; I apologise if seeing it causes any emotional or esthetic harm :) :

What i meant with the last paragraph is that it would be nice to have more API-type functions like WikEdUpdateTextarea/WikEdUpdateFrame in WikEd; specifically one to read/replace selection. (And more generally, i would really like to see scripts like WikEd or Lupin's navpopup to evolve in a developement framework direction. I think MediaWiki developement didn't scale with the community, and it's one of the worst bottlenecks right now; moving more of the new feature developement process to the javascript level would be very good, as that is much more scaleable... okay, I'll stop ranting now :)

Customizing:Edit_Toolbar
In our present mediawiki site, we have removed the old monobook.php file which is the default file you have when installing mediawiki and have uploaded a new monobook.php file with table format instead of div. In the previous monobook (i.e the default one)...there are many style sheets, li tags, javascripts etc that has been used, which is not used in our present design. If we use the previous stylesheet, javascript, etc.. the design gets changed. When we click "edit" on any of the articles, we do not have any edit toolbar configured. We want to add the Edit toolbar. Does anyone have any experience and success with customizing the Edit Toolbar?.......Please help.

Colors
Hello

Very nice Tool! For daily use the colors are a bit extreme. For e.g. bold and red is to much. Maybe take an example on Notepad++. I think color codes can be found in config. --84.156.70.189 20:22, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Firefox 3 (dev release)
When running this in Firefox (well, Swiftfox actually) 3.0b2pre (current latest version), it breaks. The edit box turns light blue. It is possible to add text, but old text is not displayed, and I think it might get overwritten if I save. When running it in Firefox (not Swiftfox) 2(.0.0.10 or so) it doesn't have any problems. Swiftfox uses the same extensions as Firefox, but many are disabled as being incompatible. I use Swiftfox for RC patrol, but often I have to warn users, and it's annoying to have to open the talk page in a new tab just to look at past warnings, so I've disabled wikEd for now. -- Thin boy  00  @921, i.e. 21:06, 15 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Please could you provide more information, filling out the bug report form on top of this page would definitely help me to get a better idea of your problem and the possible cause. Does the wikEd logo on top of the page have a red cross, indicating a loading error. Which error message do you see on the Javascript error console? Thanks, Сасусlе 00:14, 16 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I have the same problem. wikiEd 0.9.56. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b2) Gecko/2007121120 Firefox/3.0b2, no error console errors at all. This is the only userscript in monobook.js. The icon shows a loading error. Have not yet tested extention errors. Will test that after posting and will provide information shortly. Tacvek (talk) 22:18, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I have verified that it is not the add-ons. I've noticed somebody else found an error with Venkman. I will see what further I can discover like that. Tacvek (talk) 22:24, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok. As the other poster has mentioned the error is from the line
 * this.styleElement.appendChild(document.createTextNode('')); // Saari 3 fix
 * The exact error is "Node cannot be used in a document other than the one in which it was created", which is correct. this.styleElement is set as a node from contextObj. However that line of code appends a node created from document. Since contextObj might not be document that is the problem. I suspect that using <tt>contextObj</tt> on that line rather than <tt>document</tt> would fix the problem. (Although other problems may still exist.) Tacvek (talk) 22:53, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed the Safari 3 fix in 0.9.57. Сасусlе 02:24, 5 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok. It seems to work now in Firefox 3 beta 2. Tacvek (talk) 20:57, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, hmm... while it sometimes works, it seems to be breaking if certain text is included in relevant page section (such as a category tag), there is some form of RegEx problem. There is an error in the error console. Under debugging i see the error can occur many times in one page load. One such error: <tt> Error ``invalid range in character class [x-] in file ``[../index.php?title=User:Cacycle/wikEd.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Cacycle/wikEd.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript], line 6905, character 0. </tt> Tacvek (talk) 21:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Please give me an example article or text. Сасусlе 22:19, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late reply, I only now noticed your reply. For a test page, I just picked one at rondom from the front page. For example: Quneitra. I am now using Firefox 3 Beta 3, and can edit this page just fine with wikEd, but editing that (or any page at all using cataegory tags) breaks with the <tt> ``invalid range in character class'' </tt> error. I'm pretty sure other things will break wikEd also (same basic bug) but the category tags are the first thing I've identified as a problem. Tacvek (talk) 01:21, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * See below under Swiftfox broken. It is a Firefox 3 bug that has already been filed, see Bug 416933. Сасусlе 07:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Problem with Wikicities:c:ChristianMusic:MediaWiki:Edittools
It is just too bulky. Any suggestions? I don't know CSS or JS well enough. I also would like to allow users that install wikEd to turn off or hide the default edit tools. (However, it would help if wikEd could replace all of the edit cools including special characters. At the ChristianMusic wiki, ♥, ▲, and ▼ all tend to have special meanings to templates.  My version of Edittools provides a handy way to enter them.  Perhaps when wikEd is active, if you could autohide Edittools, that would help. Will (Talk - contribs) 03:27, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Support for source tags
Could you please add support for  tags? They're used for stuff like JavaScript syntax highlighting, but the wikEd preview doesn't render them properly, and it highlights them as an invalid tag.

Example:

I'm not sure how long these have been in use, as I didn't know about them until recently, but it'd be nice to have wikEd support these. Thanks, Pyrospirit  ( talk  ·  contribs ) 20:53, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Swiftfox broken
This is a relisting of my previous bug, with much more info:
 * WikEd version 0.9.56
 * Browser ID Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2007121618 Firefox/3.0b3pre (Swiftfox)
 * Errors: First to last. Note: First two appear before wikEd toolbar appears.
 * Warning: Unknown property 'column-count'. Declaration dropped. Source File: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&usemsgcache=yes&action=raw&ctype=text/css&smaxage=2678400 Line: 52
 * Warning: Unknown property 'word-wrap'. Declaration dropped. Source File: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&usemsgcache=yes&action=raw&ctype=text/css&smaxage=2678400 Line: 69
 * Warning: Error in parsing value for property 'white-space'. Declaration dropped. Source File: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Thinboy00&action=edit Line: 130
 * Warning: Expected color but found 'auto'. Error in parsing value for property 'border'.  Declaration dropped. Source File: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Thinboy00&action=edit Line: 46
 * Ibid Line 49
 * Ibid Line 52
 * Addons are irrelevant as every single addon that I have enabled in this browser is also enabled in Firefox 2(.0.0.10 or something) and Firefox 2 also has several addons enabled that I don't have in Swiftfox. However it's a short list so:
 * Adblock Plus- disabled on *.wiki*.org as Wikimedia is advert-free
 * All-in-One Sidebar
 * ChatZilla (not installed when the problem first appeared)
 * DOM Inspector
 * NoScript (disabled on en.wikipedia.org)
 * ProfileSwitcher
 * Session Manager
 * Several others are wholly disabled due to incompatibility with Swiftfox/Minefield
 * Other scripts may be irrelevant as above, but all I have is Twinkle
 * OS Ubuntu Gusty Gibbon 7.10
 * Problem is as follows:
 * WikEd toolbar loads, icon in corner has a red "X". Page text is loaded but suppressed when wikEd toolbar becomes visible.  Similarly, text field (editing box only, not edit summary) loads with BG color of white, but when wikEd loads, color changes to match monobook baby blue.  Text typed into edit field is of a larger size and different font.


 * Reproduce as follows (unfortunately requires installation of Ubuntu, and a compatible processor, in order to fully emulate my experiences):
 * After installing Ubuntu, don't mess with which browser to use by default (I did not attempt to go this far back, I went as far as 3)
 * Install wikEd
 * Install Swiftfox Pentium-m version for Debian/Ubuntu
 * Enable wikEd
 * Attempt to edit any page

I'm not sure if this works on other OS's (Swiftfox installs differently), and I know that Ubuntu is obscure. I'd like to point out that Swiftfox passes the Acid2 test on my machine, hinting at a lack of problems with the rendering engine. The issue continues even after a manual complete removal and subsequent (re)installation via Synaptic package manager. -- Thin boy  00  @149, i.e. 02:34, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * The listed errors are all css errors, are there no JavaScript errors? There should be, because only a real JavaScript error could stop the wikEd setup, leaving the red cross logo in place. Сасусlе 18:01, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I took a screen shot. Would you like me to email it to you (I don't think it's appropriate for commons or wikipedia, because it's useless everywhere but here)?  I'm not sure if Special:Emailuser supports attachments, though.  Oh, and Happy Holidays.  -- Thin  boy  00  @734, i.e. 16:36, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your effort. The easiest way would be to select "Errors" in the error console and to copy and paste entries (Ctrl-C works for error messages) which have wikEd.js in their file name. Сасусlе 17:58, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

(outdent) No I think you don't understand. I took a screenshot of what it looks like when it's broken, not of the error console. I copied and pasted all of the error messages verbatim, clearing the console immediately before testing. You already have all of the errors above. -- Thin boy  00  @200, i.e. 03:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * What you pasted were the console "Warnings", not the "Errors" (or "All"). I need to see the errors to be able to help you, the screenshot is not that important. Сасусlе 12:45, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry, I didn't realize that... Swiftfox uses a weird UI... here's the error you're looking for:
 * Error: invalid range in character class
 * Source file: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Cacycle/wikEd.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s
 * Line: 6994
 * Hope this helps, because it's the only non-css error I could find. -- Thin  boy  00  @893, i.e. 20:25, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I have tested it under Minefield/3.0b3pre and it works fine. The error is caused by a RegExp containing Unicode characters:

var regExp = new RegExp('\\s*[\\w À-ÖØ-öø-\\u0220\\u0222-\\u0233ΆΈΉΊΌΎΏΑ-ΡΣ-ώ\\u0400-\\u0481\\u048a-\\u04ce\\u04d0-\\u04f5\\u04f8\\u04f9\\-]+\\s*:\\s*' + wikEdText['wikicode Category'] + '\\s*:', 'i');

My guess is that this is a real bug in FireFox Swiftfox related to Unicode and I suggest to file a bug report on bugzilla.mozilla.org. Unfortunately, I cannot track the error down without an Ubuntu/Swiftfox installation. I will save a version with a slightly rearranged regular expression under the version number 0.9.58e, maybe that helps, please report back after Shift-Reload. Сасусlе 22:38, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I've had the same problem with the invalid range in character class in my installation of Firefox 3.0b2 on Windows XP. Not exactly sure why, though.  I'm using this with a gadget installation (version 0.9.61f) at my website's wiki (MediaWiki 1.11.1), and can edit the Main Page fine, but trying to edit something like my Help:Posting Guidelines page produces the problem.  It's really quite odd, although I did get to looking and do notice that pages without categories don't seem to have issues.  Hmm... --Raenis (talk) 11:17, 10 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The code in question is now in line 7066 and is executed when highlighting ranges category tags. Would you mind tracking the problem down by removing single ranges (of the form "\\u048a-\\u04ce") and testing if this prevents the error. Thanks in advance, Сасусlе 16:46, 10 February 2008 (UTC)


 * After removing the ranges you mentioned, the problem still persists. I did, however, manage to get it to work earlier today by changing the regex to the following:

var regExp = new RegExp('\\s*[\\w\\- \\u0401-\\u0481\\u0490-\\u04cc\\u04d0-\\u04f5\\u04f8\\u04f9]+\\s*:\\s*' + wikEdText['wikicode Category'] + '\\s*:', 'i');
 * However, I'm not exactly sure how much this limits the internationalization of the gadget, though. My wiki is pretty much english only so that doesn't affect me personally, but I too would like to see that it works well for everyone. --Raenis (talk) 22:13, 10 February 2008 (UTC)


 * That's interesting. It would be a big help if you could try to figure out which character or range causes the problems. Thanks in advance, Сасусlе 22:47, 10 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Alright, I had more time to test several different possibilities of what was causing the problem and the issue seems to be related to a single character range in the class, that range being:

Ø-ö
 * The rest of the regex is intact as it originally was. I also tried converting the starting and ending characters of that range to their Unicode equivalents, but the problem persisted.  Hope that helps. --Raenis (talk) 18:40, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The critical range is between Þ-ß. I have filed a Mozilla bug report, let's hope they will fix it soon. Thanks again, Сасусlе 03:52, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikia has a new forum system
It supports some wiki syntax (but no HTML that I tried). It is based on BBCode. You can see two forums here and here. It would be great if you could find a way to get wikEd working with that system. Currently, wikEd is unavailable. Will (Talk - contribs) 04:24, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Almost forgot. Wiki-style links out of posts work.  But users can't link to any forum pages with internal links.  That is why I used external links. Will (Talk - contribs) 04:26, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Extending selected text
First of all, thank you once more for creating this excellent tool: it's a pleasure to use it!

I'm using FF2. When I select text & then expand the selection, the selection always extends beyond the final word to include any following space and/or punctuation. For example, if I select this in the first line of this post by clicking on the word, & then expand the selection to include the words excellent tool, the selection includes the colon and space as well. Is it possible to override this behaviour in WikEd so that the selection stops at a word boundary (as in eg Word)?

Please forgive me if you've already answered this question. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 15:46, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks :-) Sorry, that behavior is controlled by Firefox, wikEd has no influence on it. I think it is a feature, not a bug. It makes some sense to move the trailing space together with the word if you are shuffling words around and want to keep them evenly spaced. Сасусlе 23:31, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * You're right: sometimes it's just what you want, other times it's annoying! Anyway, I rather suspected it was a feature of FF, not wE.  Thanks for setting the record straight. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 15:42, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

copying from PDFs with formatting
Hi - I've been using wikEd at Appropedia to port HTML content that we have the permission to use. Word docs seem to work too. Fantastic tool.

However, we haven't yet figured out how to copy and paste PDFs as formatted text - it only pastes as plain text (no matter what program or edit box it's pasted into). Just wondered if you happened to have come across this, or have any ideas about this. Much appreciated. --Chriswaterguy talk 03:32, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I do not think that it is possible to copy and paste formatted text from pdf files. Adobe Acrobat has an export function, but the results are not much better than pasting unformatted text (although links and colors are preserved). Сасусlе 04:15, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Request: Add BonEcho to the userAgent regex
BonEcho is the development version of Firefox. Because of the different name WikEd refuses to work ("Browser version not supported").

Non-breaking space
It would be very useful to have a button for the NBSP. I know there isn't much space on the toolbar, but one solution might be to have Subscript and Superscript on the same button, with Superscript using Shift-click (intuitive!). --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 18:48, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * You can make your own custom button. There is also a &amp;nbsp; link in the specialchars insert box below the edit field. Сасусlе 05:23, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

wikEd and my user JavaScript
Hi,

I am developing a user script in the German Wikipedia which does typographic corrections like automatically inserting fancy quotes when you type ".

At the moment, this does not work with wikEd because the script reacts to the textbox' <tt>onKeyPress</tt> event. For the moment, I'd like to disable my script when the wikEd editor is active.


 * Is there a possibility to reliably determine whether wikEd is active or not? My script may be loaded any time, even when the wikEd script is not yet active.


 * Use  to test if you have the classsical textarea displayed. Сасусlе 21:09, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The problem is that I want to show or hide my script's "user interface" (currently only a checkbox) depending on whether wikEd is active. So I need to know if it's active right at startup.


 * The wikEd setup is, as far as I see, done in the function  which is called by an event listener when the page is loaded. So what I'd have to do is to ensure that my init function gets called after the wikEd init function, so that the   variable is set. Is there a way to do that? -- de:Jowereit, 21:50, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Can I somehow react to wikEd being enabled/disabled via the button in the personal toolbar? I want to reenable my script when wikEd is disabled.


 * It is probably better to check wikEdUseWikEd, but you can always add your own event listener to that button (line 1346, ), but I am not sure about the order in which they will be called. Сасусlе 21:09, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * This would be the same problem as above: to add an event listener, the toolbar button must already exist, so I'd have to add the listener after  has been called. -- de:Jowereit, 21:50, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Since I ultimately want my script to work with wikEd too, can I somehow capture the key that is pressed and replace it with another character? E. g. at the moment, when the " key is pressed, I manually insert „ or “ and then <tt>return false;</tt> to prevent the original character from being inserted. Is something similar possible with wikEd?

 * This would be a button that takes the existing text and fixes all fancy quotes etc. in it? That would be possible as an additional option, but my existing script does the replacement right when the key is pressed (as normal word processors do, BTW), and I'd like to keep that functionality with wikEd, if it's possible. -- de:Jowereit, 21:50, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

wikEdStrangeSpaces
(Moved from User talk:Cacycle)

I was glancing over the wikEd code, and noticed the code for non-breaking space was given as '31' - is this correct? the decimal for non-breaking space is actually 160. Also, in control characters, you have: '25': 'end of medium', '25': 'substitute', and everything after that, up to 30, are off by one. I'd fix it myself, but don't want to mess around in code i'm not familiar with. —Random832 18:22, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Greasemonkey version with customization for JS

I understand how to customizing the Greasemonkey version, now. Thank you for your answer. However, I suggest a new idea to you. It is that you will make the new version of wikEd Greasemonkey edition checks and uses the wikEd custom settings written in User:Username/monobook.js (or modern.js, etc.) located in the processing wiki. If my idea will be applied in the new version of wikEd Greasemonkey edition, users can customizing every each wikis.

IE7 Support
Hi, I would like wikiEd to be supported by Internet Explorer, particularly Internet Explorer 7--Troop350 (talk) 20:50, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Please see wikEd dev and wikEd dev talk if you want to help. The problem is that MS IE is way behind in terms of supported features and standards conformity. It is a major annoyance for web developers to program for this browser and requires a good deal of IE-specific duplicate code that bloats the program and costs time to develop and maintain. However, I would be happy to add the needed changes and would gladly assist anybody trying to push this forward. Сасусlе 17:11, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Option to make ctrl+click case sensitive.
Does this already exist? It's a bit annoying to use WikEd on Wiktionary and constantly have to go through the redirection routine (if it wasn't implemented server-side as a workaround, very few links would actually get where they are supposed to). Circeus (talk) 20:34, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Please could you give me an example. Thanks, Сасусlе 21:36, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Links like a or b are sent directly (by the script, not MediaWiki) to A and B instead of their proper targets. If there happens to be two entries, the link is outright incorrect. Having an option (or even a bit of script) for the css page would be very helpful. Circeus (talk) 22:12, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Coding question
Little question, simply out of curiosity: what is the purpose of this edit, doesn't  have exactly the same meaning as   ? I might be wrong, but for a script that's designed for only one browser WikEd seems to have a lot of unnecessary extra code. / AlexSm 22:53, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


 * It's for Greasemonkey support, see User:Cacycle/wikEd_development. The mentioned edit was a test and has been reverted. I had to fix compatibility of multiple parallel installations (i.e. Greasemonkey, gadget, user script) and the problem was caused by variable declarations without testing if they were already initialized. Сасусlе 05:14, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I do not think that there is much unnecessary extra code (beside "simple" coding style and comments), feel free to discuss specific parts here. Сасусlе 05:55, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Wiki's Without Internet Connection Section Missing
I run my WikiEd install as a "wiki without internet connection" for security reasons. I came to get the latest updates to the code but that section is gone now. (Though there are still 1 reference and 1 dead link to it on the page.)

Syntax highlighting
Is it possible to just enable syntax highlighting and disable everything else. That's all I'm interested in. Perhaps separate that section of code from the rest of WikEd and create a separate script with that? MahangaTalk 21:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Add the following code to your monobook.js page (it has essentially the same effect as pushing the [[Image:WikEd_logo.png|16px|Use wikEd]] button):

var wikEdUseWikEdPreset = false;

Love the app, but big problem
(Moved from User_talk:Cacycle/wikEd_help)

Hi- this is really cool, but I can't seem to click into an empty text field to create a page. Can't tab in, either. A similar (but less problematic) thing happens with existing articles -- if I click below the last line of text, the cursor also does not show up in the box (or allow me to type.) I have to click within the existing text.

It's sort of a dealbreaker for me, since I create a lot of redirects and stubs. Unless there's an easy fix? I'll be back to check this out regardless, since there are so many advantages to the tool! (It's the text/syntax coloring that I like the most.) -Pete (talk) 01:42, 8 March 2008 (UTC)


 * You are probably using Firefox for Mac as other users have reported similar problems. These are annoying Firefox bugs, not wikEd bugs. I am sorry that I cannot help you as I do not have a Mac so that I cannot try to find workarounds for these long known browser bugs. You might want to file a bugzilla.mozilla.org bug report. Сасусlе 04:48, 8 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Arg! Okay, thanks for the explanation. Nice to know I won't have such problems when I'm using Windows FF. I just tried it in Camino, which is a Mac-specific Firefox variant, and is a much more refined app; but the editor isn't enabled. Any chance that's just a variable that could easily be changed to say "use with Camino" as well as "use with Firefox?" I'll try to file that bug report, haven't done that before, so it's probably about time I learn how. -Pete (talk) 06:11, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Fix punctuation (French)
Correct when editing a text in english, the Fix punctuation button is quite inaccurate when editing a text in French. In this language, several punctuation characters must be preceded by a space! It is the case for ":;!?»". It would be fine to get an easy way to inactivate or suppress this button when working in French. Ptyxs (talk) 17:35, 10 March 2008 (UTC)


 * There is a configuration setting that allows you to do this:

monobook.js: var wikEdFixPunctSpace = ' ';

Greasemonkey: window.wikEdFixPunctSpace = ' ';


 * Сасусlе 01:35, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, when I put this line in the customization section of my Greasemonkey wicked.user.js, wikED just stops working completely (its interface is no longer visible) Ptyxs (talk) 08:36, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, see the corrections above. Сасусlе 02:46, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, but this does not really solve the problem, as this button then converts something like bonjour, comment vas-tu? c'est moi: Jules into bonjour, comment vas-tu? c'est moi : Jules whereas the intended result should be bonjour, comment vas-tu ? c'est moi : Jules (errors: a space before comma and no space before question mark). For the time being it should be better, it seems to me, to completely inactivate or suppress the button (how?) when working on French data. Of course the best thing should be for the button to know that a space must be suppressed in French before some punctuation caracters and added before some other punctuation caracters.  Ptyxs (talk) 06:59, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Fix Unicode
So far I believed that a "Unicode character representation" was an object like U+0061, representing LATIN SMALL LETTER A, but it doesn't seem the Fix Unicode button modifies in any way the string U+0061. So could you please explain what you mean by 'Fix Unicode character representation', is it possible to get an example? Thanks. Ptyxs (talk) 17:56, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * See User:Cacycle/wikEd_help. It converts &amp;deg;, &amp;#192;, or &amp;#x0b0 into the actual character ° if there is IE6 support for it. Сасусlе 02:18, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Greasemonkey script localisation
As far as I know the Greasemonkey script for wikED is downloadable from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&title=User:Cacycle/wikEd.user.js But this is the english version (english help for the buttons). How is it possible to localise this script (I am specially interested in the French localisation) so that the help displayed for the buttons is in another language? Ptyxs (talk) 07:15, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Cursor position from standard toolbar
I noticed that when you use a button from the standard toolbar, the cursor is placed at the end of the code, instead of the desired place. E.g.

|Bold text - clicking the Bold button in the standard toolbar with WikEd disabled

Bold text| - clicking the Bold button in the standard toolbar with WikEd enabled --Subfader (talk) 15:07, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I have added text selection for sample text added by the standard toolbar buttons in wikEd 0.9.62g. wikEd actually improves the standard toolbar buttons by autoselecting the word under the cursor and I have kept the selection at the end for these. Сасусlе 04:26, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Redirects
Pray tell me, is there a specific reason why the redirect button creates an all-lowercase tag? The standard form which is seen in almost all redirects is uppercase ("#REDIRECT"), and "#redirect" looks pretty strange. I suppose I can adjust wikEd so that in my case the button produces an uppercase tag, but I just thought I'd ask (and I also find the inconsistency mildly annoying).

By the way, there's a typo on the main page, but I cannot fix it because the page is protected (it is the fourth word of the "How to use it" section). How you expect us to write a favourable review of wikEd on a protected page, only She knows. :-) Waltham, The Duke of 14:41, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Text selection with wikEd

 * Hi Сасусlе, I looked at User:Cacycle/wikEd, and while I'm not good with JS objects and prototyping, maybe it could be possible to make wikEd transparent to other editing scripts, by pretending that your iframe is wpTextbox1, and redefining most setters and getters, like wpTextbox1.value= and so on? —AlexSm 15:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Just checking, do you already have a clue about my initial question? --Cameltrader (talk) 10:26, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I am quite busy (and I think I had anwered that, might got lost somehow...). This is the way to go: run WikEdParseDOM(obj, wikEdFrameBody); on an empty object. After that, obj.plain contains the plain text, obj.plainNode contains the text node refs, obj.plainStart contains the plainNode start text positions. Then do something similar to the cosde starting with line 4992 ("// select the find") to set a range and select the text. It can now be changed similar to line 4645 ("// replace the selection with changed text"). That way your changes would end up in the edit (undo/redo) history. If you bypass the browser's rich text editor interface and change the edit frame directly, you will erase the edit (undo/redo) history. In general, automatic changes could interfere with user actions (especially when slow - and the method above is relatively slow).

null dereference in wikEdDiff.js
The linkification step in wikEdDiff.js leads to null dereferences under some circumstances.


 * wikEd version: 0.9.61i
 * wikEdDiff version: 0.9.4h
 * Mediawiki 1.7
 * affected browsers: Internet Explorer
 * error message: Line 512, column 4, wikEdDiffWikiGlobals.wgArticlePath is null or not an object.

 * if ((wikEdDiffWikiGlobals['wgServer'] != null) && (wikEdDiffWikiGlobals['wgArticlePath'] != null)) {
 * }
 * other details: So far I have only experienced this for one page in our wiki, so I think the real problem is located somewhere else in the code.

Local Installation Problem
I tried installing wikEd on a local intranet wiki without Internet connection. I followed the instructions but could not get it to work, it does not show up at all. Looking at the page source, I find something like this (when installed using the user's monobook.js): ...<script type="text/javascript" src="/mediawiki/index.php?title=User:Ah/monobook.js&amp;amp;action=raw&amp;amp;ctype=text/javascript&amp;amp;dontcountme=s">

Where do these escaped ampersands come from? If I enter the URL manually in the browser without them, the script shows up correctly. When installed via Mediawiki:Common.js, nothing shows up in the page source at all. I have set both $wgUseSiteJs and $wgAllowUserJs to true. I am using Debian Etch and mediawiki 1.7 (from the etch package), with only an LDAP-Auth-Extension installed. Browser is Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.12/Windows. --Andreas DE (talk) 09:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Slow
I've had this in my monobook.js for a long time now, but only use it rarely because of the slowdown it causes.


 * 1) Is there a way to make it default to "off"?  Whenever I log into Wikipedia on another computer, it defaults to on and 99% of the time I have to click the button to turn it off.
 * 2) Does it run faster if installed as a Gadget or Greasemonkey script? — Omegatron 01:05, 4 April 2008 (UTC)


 * disables wikEd completely (top logo click). If you just want to disable the time consuming syntax highlighting try the same with  ([[Image:WikEd_syntax.png|16px|Syntax]] button) or   ([[Image:WikEd_logo.png|16px|Use wikEd]] button)
 * That should not make any difference. Time consuming steps on long articles are syntax highlighting, whole text edit buttons, and regexp searches. Turning off syntax highlighting should do the trick in most cases.

wikiEd toggles browser crash because of the Unicode character ranges
This may be similar (or identical to User_talk:Cacycle/wikEd). I couldn't find your bugzilla report.

This expression:

p2.match(/^\s*(([\w À-ÖØ-öø-\u0220\u0222-\u0233ΆΈΉΊΌΎΏΑ-ΡΣ-ώ\u0400-\u0481\u048a-\u04ce\u04d0-\u04f5\u04f8\u04f9\-]*\s*:)*)\s*([^\|]+)/);

triggers an assertion in the debug build of Mozilla-base browsers (I am using seamonkey).

There is something wrong with the ordering of the Unicode codepoints in the character range.

I have prepared a simplified testcase demonstrating what's wrong.

I am using a debug build - that means normal users should not experience the crash. But those expressions may not work as wanted anyway.

Since the crash is really a Mozilla bug, I have filed it on the bugzilla.

// version info window.wikEdProgramVersion = window.wikEdProgramVersion || '0.9.61i'; window.wikEdProgramDate   = window.wikEdProgramDate    || 'March 11, 2008';

All other details are in the Bugzilla.

Maybe re-ordering characters in regular expressions will help?

Custom table button
Hey, i love this userscript and i'm using it all the time (personal wiki). I'm even so far that i'm making a custom button: add custom table. When clicked a div pops-up to select how many cells a new table must be when inserted. All works except for the last step, putting the code into the frame. I only want the new table inserted at the cursor position so i used the following code at my last function: WikEdGetText(obj, 'cursor'); console.log(obj.changed); obj.changed = obj.cursor; obj.changed.plain = "hoi"; Where "hoi" is changed in the new code. The problem is only that the obj isn't available anymore. Can you give me an example on how to use this when another function is called by the first function. Jeronevw (talk) 13:48, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The obj in the anonymous functions of the event handlers seem to be local. You should do the whole wikEd frame handling in the same function. The rich text editor of Firefox/Mozilla already has actually a table editor, just paste a html table and you can insert/delete ros and columns, I am actually working on utilizing this build-in functionality for wikEd. Сасусlе 17:49, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I was a freed that you were going to say that; one function. Well theres nothing to do about it then adjusting it.

 * Maybe you want to help me with this code, because i personally want it finished. ATM i get the range/selection of the text, but i can't do the last part; putting the new text into the page. Even in Firebug console i see the 'range' with the new text, but it isn't displayed on the page. The current code i have now can you find here: Jeronevw (talk) 10:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

HTML to Wiki converter
I would like to recreate the wikicode for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:SpecialPages.

In Firefox, I used Ctrl+U to see the page source.

Then I copied and pasted the page source into WikEd and clicked on [W].

It didn't work. All the content was still in HTML, and all the links were broken. The pipe characters were all missing, and there's an extra string of text between the page name and the piped text in each link.

I posted a message on WP:VPT asking for the location of the wikitext for that page, and someone told me it was hardwired into the software. That's when I resorted to the page source and trying to convert it.

I've been looking for a converter that can handle this, (yours is the 4th I've tried), but I still haven't found one.

Translation suggestion
Hi, I love this script and I use it a lot on Chinese version of wikipedia.

For most of times I ported articles from English to Chinese, the problem I always hit is there are numbers of article titles which have been translated previously (e.g. en:Isaac Newton = zh:艾萨克·牛顿; en:Cathode ray tube = zh:陰極射線管) by someones, and I have to copy the terminology in English, search an English version wikipedia, click the Chinese version wikipedia link on the left hand side, and copy down the title. Just wonder if there is any way I could make wikEd suggest it (e.g. like google suggest by press down-arrow key) or where I should start to look up in your script.

Thanks a lot. --Zanhsieh (talk) 18:07, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I do not yet understand what the requested function would suggest - the interlanguage links are already on the page. Сасусlе 01:01, 19 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry for confusion. Let me provide a live example: zh:電子遊戲歷史; click HERE to edit. You would see university, mainframe computer, and MIT cannot be indexed in zh.wikipedia.org, but they will be indexed properly in en.wikipedia.org. In order to finish the word university translation, I have to go to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/university, check the link zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A4%A7%E5%AD%B8, and copy down %E5%A4%A7%E5%AD%B8 (which is 大學) and paste back to the article I just edited. The function I suggest is, if wikEd could make each terminology-has-not-been-translated having a "cross-language wiki translation recommandation" (in this case: university -> 大學), that would be wonderful. Thanks a lot --Zanhsieh (talk) 16:51, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Question
I'm doing disambiguation page cleanup, and I've probably removed about 25,000 brackets so far because editors want to blue link half the words on the page. Instead of my having to delete all those brackets one by one, I'd like something which would let me pull a bunch of brackets out all at once. Usually the first word or phrase in a sentence should stay blue linked, the rest of the links should go. Would your editor (or any other scripts you know of) be useful for this? I can't just pull all the brackets from the page, or even all from a sentence, ideally I'd like to be able to highlight a bunch of text and have all those brackets be removed. --Xyzzyplugh (talk) 18:15, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * That's easy: click [[Image:WikEd_regexp.png|16px|RegExp]] for regular expression search and replace, put   in the find field, and leave the replace field empty. Select the text and push the [[Image:WikEd_replace_all.png|16px|Replace all]] button to delete all double brackets from your selection. In addition, you could enable the AutoWikiBrowser RegExTypoFix button (see User:Cacycle/wikEd_customization) and create your own set of words that should never be linked to. Cacycle 20:43, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Another question
wikiEd is working great for me so far, it's extremely useful in the disambiguation page cleanup I'm doing. However, I find myself using the Replace All Matches button about 500 times per day (not an exaggeration), and i'm wondering if there is some way to map this button to a key. --Xyzzyplugh (talk) 19:06, 18 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Add the following to your monobook.js page:

// define wikEd accesskeys for edit buttons (wikEd button number: key string, JS key code) var wikEdButtonKey = { 46: ['a', 65] // shift-alt-a: replace all button shortcut }


 * Cacycle (talk) 01:18, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks again. shift-alt-a is fairly awkward, but I figured out how to make a simple autohotkey script to turn F12 into shift-alt-a, so that simplifies things greatly.  I'm not sure if this is the easiest way to get it down to one keypress, but it works!  --Xyzzyplugh (talk) 08:58, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Improvements for Find / Replace
Useless and bugging me:
 * When you enter " Text" into the find field the blank is removed to "Text". Automation is good but this just annoying cos I always have to enter it again.


 * Will check this, it is not intentionally. Cacycle (talk) 19:07, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Since I always experience both per one action it takes me double work to simply replace text. --Subfader 16:01, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It always marks the first find but I use this function to replace all, that always requeires a click in the field to unmark it. It might be good for the find function though but ugly when you want to replace all cos the WikEd_replace_all button is not working then (maybe overrun?).


 * The reason is that Replace all works only on the selected text. The text gets selected because you have the Find ahead as you type button pushed ([[Image:WikEd_find_ahead.png|16px|Find ahead]]). Add "window.wikEdFindAheadSelected = false;" to your monobook.js page to disable the find-ahead preset. Cacycle (talk) 19:07, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

 * How do you exactly load wikEd? Did you lose the UTF-8 formatting while pasting the code (i.e. do you see the heart in the code header)? Cacycle (talk) 20:59, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I can reproduce your error report when I save the code as ANSI/ASCII and not as UTF-8. Use a UTF-8-capable text editor when you paste the code to your wiki and specify UTF-8 as your file format when you save your text file. Check the pasted code on your wiki for the the following line in the header text:
 * The code has to be saved as UTF-8 in your editor to preserve Unicode characters like ♥ (heart)

 * Ugg, I think I copy-pasted it into notepad which would explain the loss... I'm a fool. I will check right away and post back if that fixes things. Thanks for the very quick reply!

 * That worked, it was the UTF-8 issue as you observed. Thanks again! Love wikEd already!!!

blank pages follwing text editing / bug in an extension! Hook wfWikiwygToggle failed
Hi, couple days ago I installed wikEd (updated with latest version 0.9.61f) in the following way: 1. monobook (webbased via Userprofile of English Wikipedia on 6th Feb 2008, no other changes yet I did in the monobook, wikeEd is the only change I did) 2. Installation of Greasemonkey (in the latest Firefox version 2.0.0.12) plus code in the localsettings and installation of the extension of my own MediaWiki (Version 1.11 of Jan2008).

It seems to work during a couple of days, the tool appeared on every wiki site at wikipedia (wikinews, german Wikipedia, English Wikipedia, other wikipedias based on MediaWiki). It was comfortable to set the codes that way. Now unexpected some problems appeared. I loose text and a bug error message appears (on my own MediaWiki where I installed the extension.) On other MediaWikis I loose text within the editing process same. Please have a look on my posting at the MediaWiki Forum. There I describe all details (But yet didn't get any response from MW). Would thank you for your quick advice how to proceed --ElJay Arem (talk) 23:02, 14 February 2008 (UTC) (Meanwhile I have set the extension code in the localsettings on passive (#). The problem of lost text and white blank site still exists.)

Highlighting bug?
I've just been editing Gliding, & found that some of the text is highlighted & greyed-out as if it were a continuation of a. Is this a bug? --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 11:09, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The line in question is highlighted as a line starting with a space. It is a weakness of the regular expression-based highlighting approach that is used because real MediaWiki code parsing would be too complicated. I guess we have to live with that... Сасусlе 05:57, 16 February 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks for the reply. I thought it might be something like that. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 20:24, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
