User talk:Ilmari Karonen/nfurbacklink.js

This is a MediaWiki user script written to help in adding missing article backlinks to templates. To use it, add the line: to your monobook.js (or the equivalent .js subpage for users of other skins) and clear your browser cache. Please also add this page to your watchlist, so that you'll notice any updates.

What does it do?
When you visit an image description page with: then the script will suggest setting the Article parameter to that page by adding a special edit link into the rationale tag. If the suggestion seems correct, click the link: the script will then automatically try to make the change, and, if successful, will show you the changes and ask you to confirm them. You may then simply click the "Save" button, or make further edits to the image description page before saving.
 * a single template,
 * no Article parameter on that template, and
 * a single page listed in the "File links" section,

(If you're feeling really impatient and eager to take risks, you can also set  to make the script save the page automatically.  I'd like to very strongly recommend against doing this, since the script does make occasional mistakes, but as some people have created alternative versions of this script with this functionality anyway, I thought I ought to provide it for those who want it.)

Hi, Thanks for your nice tool. What do you think about auto saving? That's faster, I guess..--OsamaK (talk) 20:31, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I have created my auto save version based on yours, you can check it there. Thanks--OsamaK (talk) 08:52, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

logo fur
Your script does not support logo fur. Can you please modify the script so that it can fix logo fur as well? --Sreejith K (talk) 11:39, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
