Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 23
 New year, new scripts. Welcome to the 23rd issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering around 39% of our favorite new and updated user scripts since. That’s right, we haven’t published in two years! Can you believe it? Did you miss us?

Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

Cscr-featured.svg Featured script

 * RefRenamer by Nardog is this issue's featured script. For whatever reason, the foundation will only give us better reference names in VisualEditor if we wish for it in the next survey. Nardog to the rescue! This script has a ton of options to satisfy almost anyone who wishes to use better refnames than ":0" and ":418".

Gnome-colors-view-refresh.svg Updated scripts

 * Nardog: MoveHistory can now look up the move history of any page from anywhere on the site.
 * User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink now has a version that copies the Special:Diff link with square brackets.
 * User:GhostInTheMachine/WatchlistTidy now moves the Active Filters panel to the right so that the Show/Hide button doesn't constantly jump.
 * User:Alexander Davronov/HistoryHelper has now become stable with some bugfixes and features such as automatically highlighting potentially uncivil edit summaries and automatically pinging all the users selected.
 * AutoEd/unicodehex.js will no longer replace legacy MediaWiki dot-entities (dot followed by two uppercase alphanumeric characters) in article links, which caused several links to become broken.



Ambox important.svg Improve a script

 * Many of our favorite scripts such as User:Fred Gandt/userResourceManager, User:Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts and User:Bradv/Scripts/Superlinks haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
 * User:Elominius/gadget/media timer works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
 * To a lesser extent, the same goes for User:PrimeHunter/Search sort.js. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
 * We want...
 * ...a mark-as-read button for Watchlyst Greybar Unsin
 * ...a tool to automatically fix CAT:BROKENREFs, preferably a fork/addition to User:TheJJJunk/ARA
 * ...a fix/fork of User:DannyS712/SectionRemover.js to make it work

1009Clock.jpg Requested scripts

 * A WP:3O requesting and responding tool, similar to Terasil's classic edit request tool
 * A "bytes removed"/"added" filter on the user contribs page
 * A review tool for WP:proposed deletions
 * Mass patrol new pages by a user for use in WP:RFP/A
 * ...and many more, all available at User scripts/Requests

Gnome-colors-list-add.svg New scripts

 * Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin is a rewrite of Ais's Watchlist Notifier with modern APIs and several new features such as not displaying watchlist items marked as seen (hence the name), not bolding diffs of unseen watchlist elements which doesn’t work properly anyways, displaying the rendered edit summary, proper display of log and creation actions and more links.
 * Alexis Jazz: Factotum is a spiritual successor to reply-link with a host of extra features like section adding, link rewriting, regular expressions and more.
 * User:Aveaoz/AutoMobileRedirect: This script will automatically redirect MobileFrontend (en.m.wikipedia) to normal Wikipedia. Unlike existing scripts, this one will actually check if your browser is mobile or not through its secret agent string, so you can stay logged in on mobile! Hooray screen estate!
 * Chlod:
 * Deputy is a first-of-its-kind copyright cleanup toolkit. It overrides the interface for Contributor copyright investigations for easy case processing. It also includes the functionality of the following (also new) scripts:
 * Attribution Notice Template Editor (ANTE) graphically modifies content attribution notices. It is the successor to User:Chlod/Scripts/CopiedTemplateEditor and supports more templates than copied ones.
 * Infringement Assistant allows a user to hide sections of a page for suspected copyright violations and report the page to the appropriate Copyright problems noticeboard.
 * User:Elominius/gadget/diff arrow keys allows navigation between diffs with the arrow keys. It also has a version that requires holding Ctrl with the arrow key.
 * Enterprisey
 * diff-permalink-2 allows quickly copying wikilinks to diff and permalink pages from those pages, a variation of existing script User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink
 * archiver is a fork of Σ's Archiver with several bugfixes.
 * /parent-cats highlights categories that are a subcategory of a category already included in a page's categories.
 * User:Guarapiranga/accessKeysCheatSheet adds an access key shortcut to display all shortcuts based on code provided by Nardog and NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh.
 * User:HungKhanh0106/ProperDisplay loads a bunch of fonts to add correct rendering supports for "esoteric" languages.
 * User:Jeeputer/highlightPiped will make piped links irresistible (or else).
 * User:Jerome Frank Disciple/curlyfixer.js adds an WP:AutoEd function that straightens curly quotes per MOS. That's right! Such a module was only made in the 14th year of AutoEd's existence! Configure away!
 * Frequently link to Wikipedia on your websites yet find generating CC-BY credits to be such a hassle? Say no more! User:Luke10.27/attribute will automatically do it for ya and copy the credit to yer clipboard.
 * User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft, a spiritual successor (i.e. fork) to Evad37's script, with a few bugs solved, and a host of extra features like check-boxes for choosing draftification reasons, multi-contributor notification, and appropriate warnings based on last edit time.
 * Nardog
 * /CopyCodeBlock: one of the most important operations for any scripter and script-user is to copy and paste. This script adds a copy button in the top right of every code block (not to be confused with ) that will, well, copy it to your clipboard!
 * /RCMuter: Hide specific users, perhaps User:MediaWiki message delivery, from the Watchlist and Recent Changes.
 * /VitalTopicon makes you see the vital article topicon on WP:vital articles.
 * m:User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AceForLuaDebugConsole.js adds the Ace editor (a.k.a. the editor you see when editing JS, CSS and Lua on Wikimedia wikis) to the Lua debug console. "In my opinion, whoever designed it to be a plain needs to seriously reconsider their decision."
 * Novem Linguae
 * DraftCleaner fixes formatting of new articles.
 * GANReviewTool quickly and easily closes good article nominations.
 * ReviewStatus displays whether or not a mainspace page is marked as reviewed.
 * SpeciesHelper tries to add the correct speciesbox, category, taxonbar, and stub template to species articles.
 * User:Opencooper/svgReplace and Tol's fork replaces all rasterized SVGs with their original SVG codes for your loading pleasures. Tell us which one is better!
 * User:Phlsph7/HighlightUnreferencedPassages adds a button to highlight all unreferenced paragraphs in reds, and can even do it automatically.
 * Still hate Vector 2022's floating TOC? User:Phlsph7/UnfoldedNumberedTOC(Vector2022) might make you give it a try.
 * Quite a bit of pages at Special:WantedCategories either exist now or got removed. User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/hideUnwantedCategories automatically hides those.
 * User:SuperHamster's Tools/View it! generates a gallery of images for a given subject on any Wikimedia project utilizing Structured Data on Commons. Images can then be added as needed.
 * Terasail
 * ArticleInfo displays page information at the top of the page, directly below the title.
 * /HeaderIcons takes away the Vector 2022 user dropdown and replaces it with all of the icons within, top level, right next to the Watchlist. One less click away! There's also an alternate version that uses text links instead of icons.
 * ...and any more, all available at WP:US/L.

Due to budget and procrastination limitations, we've only had time to review the first ~39% of the scripts since last issue. Help us out here! Aaron Liu (talk) 13:24, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 24
 Hello everyone, and welcome to the 24th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since. Uh-huh, we're finally covering the good ones among the rest! Aren't you excited? Remember to include a link in double brackets to the script's .js page when you install the script, so that we can see who uses the script in WhatLinksHere! The ScriptInstaller gadget automatically does this. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

Cscr-featured.svg Featured script

 * Making user scripts load faster by SD0001 is this month's featured script, which caches userscripts every day to eliminate the overhead caused by force-downloading the newest version of scripts every time you open a Wikipedia page. Despite being released in April 2021, our best script scouters have failed to locate it due to its omission from the US of L. For security reasons, the script only supports loading JavaScript pages.

Farm-Fresh error go.png Newly maintained scripts
After earthly attempts at improving the original have failed...
 * Aaron Liu has created What redirects here from Guarapiranga/WhatRedirectsHere; their fork includes support for every MediaWiki wiki, corrected link positions, an access key, and some rudimentary translation.
 * Ahecht has created a fork of SiBr4/TemplateSearch, which adds the "TP:" shortcut for "Template:" in the search box, and updated it to be compatible with Vector 2022.
 * AquilaFasciata/goToTopFast is a much faster fork of the classic goToTop script that also adds compatibility for Minerva and Vector 2022.
 * Mesidast/Tidy citations is a fork of Meteor sandwich yum/Tidy citations is a fork of Waldyrious/formatcitations. It configurably harmonizes whitespace and cleans up parameters in citation templates, descriptive edit summary included.



Ambox important.svg Improve a script
Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here!
 * Many of our favorite scripts such as Fred Gandt/userResourceManager, Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts and Bradv/Superlinks haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
 * Elominius/media timer works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
 * To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
 * We want...
 * ...a mark-as-read button and watchlist notices support for Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin
 * ...a tool to automatically fix CAT:BROKENREFs, preferably a fork/addition to TheJJJunk/ARA
 * ...a fix/fork of DannyS712/SectionRemover to make it work

Ambox clock yellow.svg Requested scripts

 * A simple script to second or archive proposed deletions
 * A script to auto-expand V22 ToC sections like this demo
 * A WP:3O response tool that can automatically remove the relevant request from the 3O dashboard
 * A byte filter to be split from Nux/LongTableFilters
 * ...and many more, all available at User scripts/Requests

Gnome-colors-list-add.svg New scripts

 * DannyS712/AbuseFilterMessageLinks add links to the "warn" and "disallow" messages in edit filters.
 * Diegodlh/Web2Cit/script adds an option to use Web2Cit (which WP:ProveIt also uses) instead of Citoid to generate citations in the Visual Editor.
 * Dragoniez/SuppressEnterInForm stops you from accidentally submitting anything due to pressing enter while in the smaller box, and works on almost anything... except the InputBox element itself, used in subscription lists and the Signpost Crossword! Oh, the humanity!
 * CopyVio detector, Adiutor.pngǵu/Adiutor (pictured) provides a nice, integrated interface to do some twinkley tasks such as copyvio detection, CSD tagging, and viewing the most recent diff.
 * Eejit43's redirect-helper script demo.png43 has quite the aesthetically pleasing scripts, all made in TypeScript.
 * /afcrc-helper is a replacement for the unmaintained Enterprisey/AFCRHS and processes Redirects for Creation and Categories for Creation requests.
 * /ajax-undo stops the "undo" button from taking you to another page while providing a text box to provide a reason for the revert.
 * /redirect-helper (pictured) adds a much better interface for editing and redirects, including categorization, for which valid categories are dictated by /redirect-helper.json.
 * /rmtr-helper helps process technical requested moves without being able to actually move them.
 * User Info Popup screenshot 1.jpg2/UserInfoPopup (pictured) adds a flyout after the watchlist star on userspace pages that displays the common information you might use about a user.
 * Jeeputer/editCounter, under userspace, adds a portlet link to count your edits by namespace, put them in a table, and put that table in a hardcoded subpage, all in the background.
 * Hilst/Scripts/sectionLinks converts all section links to use the § sign, which are known to be preferred over the ugly # by 99% of the devils I've met.
 * Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable highlights phrases commonly used in spammed and POV'd paragraphs.
 * FormattedEditRequest-in-work.pngDungKhongDinhDanh/FormattedEditRequest (pictured) generates a wikitext-formatted diff view of any changes you've made that you can copy and paste anywhere.
 * PrimeHunter/Category source.js adds portlet links to tell you where a category for an article comes from and supports those from template transclusions.
 * Qwerfjkl/massCFD creates mass WP:CfD nominations.
 * Rublov/refspace highlights footnote spacing errors in red.
 * Sophivorus's MiniEdit adds some nice, li'l buttons next to paragraphs to edit their wikitext with a minimal interface.

Edit-listings

 * Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks adds more and customizable links next to users in page history, logs, watchlist, recent changes, etc.
 * Firefly/more-block-info optimizes the display of rangeblocks in contribution pages. Doesn't work outside the English locale of any wiki, unfortunately.
 * Ingenuity/AbuseFilterContribs adds the edit filters that an edit tripped (if any) to a user's contributions page.
 * Nardog/ExamineMore makes it so the paging at Special:AbuseFilter/examine actually works, pending a fix to.
 * NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader makes paging links (e.g. older 50, 500, newest) load without refreshing and makes you realize how slow your internet actually is.

Appearance-ricing

 * Ahecht/RedirectID adds the redirect target to all redirects. For all the WP:NAVPOPS haters. (Do these exist?)
 * Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal: Remember the "strike blocked usernames" gadget? Now you can use a red, dotted line to highlight rangeblocks and global locks!
 * GhostInTheMachine/GraphicReplyLink replaces the [ ] link with 💬, which is some sort of rainy cloud I guess?
 * En.WP VPP Screen Shot 2024-01-13 with custom CSS.pngey/common (pictured) has some styles to overhaul your Vector 2022 experience. It reduces padding everywhere, and makes the top bar animation faster.
 * Aaron Liu/V22 is a fork that narrows the sidebars instead of upheaving them, reverts the January 2024 dropdown changes, and restores the old page-link color for links that don't go outside the current wiki.
 * Nardog: SmartDiff is a spiritual successor to Enterprisey/fancy-diffs. It makes the page title part of links in diffs clickable, along with template and parser function calls. Unnamed parameters can be configured per template to also be linked. All links are styled based on the normal CSS classes of rendered links.
 * Phlsph7/ClassicalTOC (Vector 2022) reinserts the inline table of contents to pages under Vector 2022.
 * For the paranoid: Rublov/anonymize replaces your username at the top of the screen with the generic "User page" text. Remember, it is your duty to persuade everyone that editing is an honor.
 * Sideswipe9th/Vector 2022 Floating Tools Menu moves the Page Tools menu to the left and makes it float along with the table of contents.
 * Sm8ps/SectionEditing makes pressing Tab toggle the visibility of the tiny [ ] links next to section headings.. Not a great name, eh?
 * The wub/tocExpandAll adds a button on top of the floating ToC to expand or collapse subheadings.

Permissions required!

 * Ahecht/potd-helper: A script to post the picture of the day. A powerful upgrade for your mop.
 * Selective Rollback dialog.pngniez
 * /AjaxBlock provides a dialog box for easy input of reasons while blocking users.
 * /Selective Rollback (pictured) provides a dialog box to customize rollback edit summaries and does them without reloading the page. Seriously, why doesn't MediaWiki already do this?
 * Theleekycauldron/DYK promoter automates (nearly) all the work needed to post a DYK hook.

QOL shortcuts

 * BrandonXLF/SVGEditor lets you edit any file that is an SVG, straight from the file page.
 * DanCherek/UAABotRemover adds a portlet link to enable a removal shortcut of faulty reports from Usernames for administrator attention.
 * DreamRimmer/BlankUserPage helps you destroy webhost-ers' hopes and dreams with a user-friendly dialog box.
 * ESanders (WMF)/commentlinks.js adds a "link" button right after the "reply" button while the WMF struggles to reach feature parity with Convenient Discussions.
 * Isaacl/copy-comment-link-to-clipboard does exactly what you'd think it does, but in Wikitext.
 * FenrisAureus/SimpleStatus adds a shortcut at the top to edit your /Status subpage while providing a pre-made template.
 * Fred Gandt/addCloneClearButtonAboveScributoConsole: What a mouthful! Yet all it does (no offense) is add another button on top of the Lua module debug console.
 * Guarapiranga/GlobalWatchlistLink adds a link to metawiki:Special:GlobalWatchlist next to the normal watchlist.
 * Nardog
 * PasteToCommons adds a paste handler to upload the pasted image to Wikimedia Commons.
 * Unpipe tries to detect violations of WP:NOPIPE and fix them as much as possible.
 * Ohconfucius/tometricunits automatically adds unit conversions of imperial units in brackets after their uses per MOS:UNITS.
 * Suntooooth
 * /flickrsearch adds a portlet link to search for uploadable flickr images about the subject.
 * /randomincategory adds a portlet link when on Category pages to go to a random page in the current category.
 * Vghfr/EasyTemplates adds a portlet link to automatically insert some of the most common inline fix templates.

Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!
