Scripting requests

 * 1) Wanted: WikiLinks code for Visual IRC — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xaosflux (talk • contribs) 05:32, 27 November 2005
 * 2) Wanted: Wikilinks code for Trillian (added 14:03, 28 April 2006 (UTC))
 * Looks like the the Trillian Scripting Host might allow someone to easily write a plugin for this. I don't know anything about Trillian scripting or JScript, though. Demi T/C 19:20, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Wanted: WikiLinks code for IRC within Opera --Smokizzy 05:43, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Opera has no support for scripts.Smokizzy (talk) 01:10, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * userjs and css.86.139.159.43 (talk) 18:52, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Wanted: On-page "What Redirects Here" for editors, probably written in JavaScript for use in monobook.js. See Bug 11083 for details. — Jonathan Kovaciny (talk|contribs) 17:21, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Wanted: An automated to do list. See project idea here. &#9775; Zenwhat (talk) 16:27, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Wanted: A script that can go through a list of articles, or a category, and calculate the mean and median article size of the articles on the list or cat. Specifically, I was wanting a program so that it could look at a cat of Start/B/Stub class articles, eg Category:Start-Class_Vietnam_articles, and then calculate the mean and median size of the articles (not the talk page) in this category. Note that had created a similar thing at User_talk:Dr_pda/generatestats.js which may be used as a model; his script works only on transcluded templates, rather than category population. Thanks.

 * 4) Wanted: An RC Patrol script for Chatzilla that is able to run in Ubuntu 8.10. - Until It Sleeps   22:49, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) Wanted: A script (or bot?) that can go through my extra-long watchlist and remove(unwatch) all pages that haven't been edited for at least 2 months(or any user-defined time period). Saves me the tedious work of trimming my watchlist to include only the pages that are likely to have a change since my last edit of them. OlEnglish (talk) 03:15, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) On Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style there is a discussion about overly-long lists of honorifics in infoboxes (example: Genghis Khan: Dalai Khagan of the Great Mongol State (Supreme Khan of the Mongols), King of Kings, Khagan of Khamag Mongol, Lord of the Four Colors and Five Tongues, Son of Khan Tengri, Emperor of All Men.) I would like a script that finds the longest 100 or so so we can discuss whether to manually fix the worst cases. --Guy Macon (talk) 07:43, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
 * 7) Wanted: A script that can add stub templates to an article. - Presidentman talk · contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 11:31, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Found: User:MC10/stubtagtab.js. - Presidentman talk · contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 17:34, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The option gets added to the top-right place where "move" is. The script works but isn't functional. I clicked add, the opened edit menu didn't have the said tag; moreover Visualeditor complicates the issue. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 12:06, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) Requested: In order to check an WP:FAC article for WP:OVERLINK, I'd appreciate a script that would scan an article and report all instances of a link target that occurs three or more times. This would be much easier than manually perusing a long article looking for links that occur multiple times. It would also complement the existing dablinks.py and rdcheck.py tools in Featured article tools. Thank you. Regards, RJH (talk) 22:16, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) A script that would relink references as I did manually at Bahá'í Faith in Egypt - urls needed to be changed from empty or changed from http://www.teachingandprojects.com/meansandmaterials.htm to another website and parsed for a specific url possible to the direct page along the lines of http://bahai-news.info/viewer.erb?vol=01&page=276 (where vol and page numbers are used for the urls but not derived from the original pages numbers per printed edition) and also the script should compile errors if a specific url can't be found so that I or others could manually search and find them. There are a likely few thousand instances of these changes to be done.... Smkolins (talk) 13:34, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) Wanted: A script that could add WikiProjects without having to type in .  That gets really annoying for me sometimes. buffbills7701 21:03, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
 * 4) Wanted: A script to add tabs for "(object) history" on a talk history page and "talk history" for an object history page.  (And please tell me where I can search for existing scripts, which doesn't seem to be in this article.)  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 21:21, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
 * 5) Wanted: A script to remove all talkback notifications from one's userpage on command. -- Ross Hill  •  Talk  •  Need Help?  • 03:55, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * 6) Wanted: a script to minimize/show the lefthand sidebar, and recover the space for the displayed article. "Minimizing" replaces the sidebar with a left-margin 4-em-wide blank gray bar. Mousing over the bar shows the full sidebar, mousing away from the sidebar hides it. This is similar to the Feedly app for browsers; show/hide only operates when the page is zoomed in (ctrl-+).

 * 7) See User:PleaseStand/Hide Vector sidebar The Transhumanist 09:38, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Fix:Any idea why this scipt User:Pyrospirit/metadata/assesslinks.js doesnt work anymore? (It stoped working a few years ago). It add a link in the sidebar (assess link) which color all links in the article in respect to its wikiproject class. Christian75 (talk) 13:28, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * 1)  Here's one that might work: User:N8wilson/AQFetcher. The Transhumanist 09:22, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
