Cleanup of Splarka's sorting script for Special:Log/rights
/RightsSorter.js needs cleanup. This is supposed to let you filter out one right change you don't care about (ie. "rollback") and it autofilters out null rights changes. – Mike .lifeguard  &#124; @en.wb 04:52, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Not exactly what you requested, but I just updated LogPage Table script to recognize giving/removing rollback flag and use appropriate icons ∴ AlexSm 18:06, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Right; this script is for looking at Special:Log/rights and sorting out the different rights changes (not just rollback, I think), since MW doesn't let you narrow the log down further than that (pending 12571). – Mike .lifeguard  &#124; @en.wb 19:49, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

✅ at User:Splarka/lifilter.js. It's really nice too! – Mike .lifeguard  &#124; @en.wb 00:38, 12 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Yah, please delete /RightsSorter.js too, embarrasing outline. --Splarka (rant) 00:43, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Man, that form building code would be so much nicer if it used my Easy DOM code:

(this form is untested, but Easy DOM is extensively tested). Mike Dillon 03:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, sure, but that would require, what, four extra pages of code being downloaded and parsed by the browser?... to turn a page and a half of code into half a page of code. The net gain for this implementation seems negative. ^_^ --Splarka (rant) 04:42, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

User:Sunny910910/warningscript.js
Can someone tell me why my script doesn't work? It's suppost to added  onto a user's talkpage, without saving it so I can added the article name. I need a script like this because TW doesn't work on IE which I intend to use it on. If anybody can help it would be appreciated. I am not much of a javascript writer, I borrowed this foundations of this script from another script that someone gave me, it needed I could show it. --Sunny910910 (talk 04:15, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

user script for magical Esperanto character conversion at arbitrary wikis

 * Personally, I have no idea what kind of conversion is that ∴ AlexSm 17:30, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Dear AlexSm please see http://eo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?&oldid=1560278 and the following revisions. I tried to simulate cx converts to ĉ gx converts to ĝ hx converts to ĥ jx converts to ĵ sx converts to ŝ ux converts to ŭ ... continued at « w:eo: » Because the description here is a "meta language" I did not simulate all requirements at « w:eo: ». cxx and cxX converts to cx cxxx converts to ĉx cXxX converts to ĉX cxXx, cXXx, and cXXX converts to ĉX The algorithm is as follows:
 * 1) it is triggered if lower or upper case c, g, h, j, s or u is followed by lower or upper case x
 * 2) it is necessary to identify the string to be substituted
 * 3) that string starts with the (first) character that triggered the algorithm
 * 4) that string contains also the following lower or upper case x and all subsequent lower or upper case x's
 * 5) processing starts from the end of the string to be substituted; from the last x|X
 * 6) main substitution /convertion loop
 * 7) the last but one character is analyzed
 * 8) is it upper or lower case
 * 9) is it c|C, g|G, h|H, j|J, s|S, u|U or x|X
 * 10) to determing the substitution / conversion one should
 * 11) preserve the case
 * 12) substitute / convert the last and last but one character to ĉ|Ĉ, ĝ|Ĝ, ĥ|Ĥ, ĵ|Ĵ, ŝ|Ŝ, ŭ|Ŭ, or x|X depending of the match identified before
 * 13) readjust the string to be substituted; it is shortened by two characters at the end
 * 14) the algorithm stops either if only one character from the string to be substituted has left or that string is empty


 * example:&lrm;
 * « cxgxhx » should trigger the algorithm three times and generate « ĉĝĥ »

An implementation
Here is a working example script: User:Splarka/esperanto.js
 * Note that " " ... it actually it produces "ĉx".

The way you described it seemed overly complex. What I did:
 * On document load it adds a new portlet tab (this could be automated I suppose, but this can be very slow on large pages).
 * Clicking the tab on action=edit or action=submit (preview) only affects the textarea, on all other actions it checks the bodyContent (this could be expanded to the whole document I suppose)
 * All text nodes of the above selected object are searched for the regex matches to
 * These matches are iterated over in reverse for each node (this is to prevent messing up the match count by changing the match).
 * For each match, the length of the match is determined.
 * If it is an even length, the first two characters are converted (with the case determined by the case of the first character)
 * If it is an odd length, the first one character is left literal, the rest of the X pairs (if any) are cropped to the first. so [xX][xx][Xx] returns xxX
 * For the rest of the match, the pairs of Xs (if any) are cropped to the case of the first. so [xX][xx][Xx] returns xxX

As far as I can tell, this almost exactly matches what eo.wikipedia does.... test it? --Splarka (rant) 23:02, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Common.js and Monobook.js is called on every page through title=-&action=raw&gen=js file. The new code you just added is not there yet, so this looks like a caching issue. I think you just have to wait. / AlexSm 20:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Alex for the comment! I implemented w:yi:MediaWiki:Gadget-UseLang and w:yi:MediaWiki:Gadget-UseLang.js at w:yi:special:Preferences. As far as I can see the new tabs are inserted at an absolut position from the reference point which is at the right on « w:yi: ». Depending on the lenght of the previous tabs one can see some of the new tabs or not; this is language dependent; it depends on what tab you have clicked before.

Please take a look at w:nn:special:Prefixindex/MediaWiki:Gadget. There you will find many language related gadgets. They are implemented / selectable one by one. This might be also the case for different contributors and visitors at « w:yi: ». How such a code would look like?

re: « caching issues » I created a lot of test pages as « user:I18n ». These are oficial aliases as decribed at fr:project:Alias de Wikipédiens#Les alias officiels. The list can be seen at commons:user:I18n. I did not experience much page caching because immediatelly after placing some notes at the « MediaWiki talk:Gadgets-definition » pages the « validations at w3.org: XHTML 1.0 » links at these test pages returned either a green / OK status or a minimal amount of errors (one error). Exceptions where the following UTF-8 languages: sd: ru: zh: ja:.

Alternate watchlists
I haven't found this but if it exists, point me to it. I find myself struggling against the limitations of a single watchlist. What I really want is alternate watchlists which I can automatically add pages to with minimal fuss. This way I could focus different watchlists on specific projects/interests. I have one page set up like this here. It uses Special:Recentchangeslinked/User: to make a watchlist out of the links on the page where the code is placed.

Ideally, I want a way to add a regular wikilink for a page I'm viewing onto a subpage of my userpages, at the end of a column of such links. Preferably, it would allow me to specify one of, say, five pages (just pulling a number out of the air).

If anyone knows of a way to do this, point me to it. Cheers, Pigman what? / trail 00:58, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Warn
I'm sorry to have to ask your assistance again, but I've been trying to develop a tool and I think I needs your (the people here's) help. I'm trying to develop a tool (see User:Jj137/quickwarn.js) that will add a link at top next to "watch"-- but only on user talk pages-- that will allow me to open two prompt windows, one at a time, and automatically add a warning to a vandal's talk page. If you see the quickwarn.js page you will probably understand what I am trying to do. Thanks, and hope you can help.  jj137  ♠ 05:02, 26 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Maybe you should use my auto_mod script. Add it to your script with:

importScript("User:Jnothman/automod.js");
 * Then, given an article TITLE which you want to add BEFORE to the beginning of, AFTER to the end of and using a SUMMARY, simply send the browser to the to the URL created by am_make_url("TITLE", "BEFORE", "AFTER", "SUMMARY"). To get the page title, use am_get_title, which you might then want to check for starting with "User talk". jnothman talk 13:23, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Is there a possibility if a script could be made, so that anyone can detect which IP address or user who has been on there userpage or monobook.js file and what they have done, which will be updated every second or minutes reason for this is because occasionally i always have a feeling that someone is on the userpage or subpage doing something which the watchlist isn't reporting, since certain things have vanished on the toolbox or some text on userpages and subpages.

Coordinate alternate links
Could somebody create a popup when click on it similar to the wikiminialtas. And fill in map services that can be customized with a final link to the geohack page at the bottom. — Dispenser 15:07, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * If I understand correctly, instead of going directly to geohack you would like a "popup menu" with several choices, right? ∴ AlexSm 17:30, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think there might be some code in the wikiminiatlas that you could steal to do this easily. The original idea was posted on the GeoHack page. — Dispenser 02:21, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Another idea closer to what AlexSm is thinking of, is a GeoHack replacement in Javascript, as some people are uncomfortable having to go to a separate page and choose a service. There are probably two groups: 1) people who don't want to choose at all, but just want direct links to any map service, and 2) people who want to choose from the most popular ones only. I've implemented the first one partially with Google Maps Love.js, which adds another icon next to all coordinates, but it doesn't handle scales which is somewhat important with getting a map of the right size. The second one would indeed need a popup to be fast for people who don't like the extra clicking. If anyone feels like working on these, please go ahead and rip the code. --Para (talk) 03:57, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, there are two separate ideas. The one linked above would allow people to move services around in the GeoHack list, and have them in the same order when coming back to the page again. I've implemented the shuffling part to test it, see GeoHack-shuffletest.html. It still needs more Javascript to save the offsets to a cookie every time a row is moved, and to load them from the cookie and shuffle the rows when the page is loaded.

Script Request
Hi, I'd like to request a script. WP:PT used to be ordered by date until it was deprecated in December 2007. I would like to be able to order protected titles by date again, so I can see the most recent additions to the list. I am unable to code such myself. (of course, if there is an existing way to do so, I'd be very happy). Please let me know if I can/should help in any way. Chubbles (talk) 01:31, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Please fix your shortcut. If you meant Special:Protectedtitles, I think the only way is to check the protection log: Special:Log/protect. Of course, a script could be created to filter log entries and show only "create" protections, maybe using API ∴ AlexSm 03:25, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that shortcut used to point to Protected titles. Chubbles (talk) 06:43, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I made a script recently for filtering Special:Log/rights (that later was expanded to all rights, and later to work with any page that has a bunch of &lt;li&gt; in it). It works fine for Special:Log/rights but only filters what is on the page. To use it you simply add to your user js: <tt>importScript(User:Splarka/lifilter.js)</tt>, go to the protect log eg: limit=500, click the [filter] tab, use the regex string <tt>create\=</tt>, and click [filter] or [hilight].

Can someone make the javascript? ―  韓斌 / Yes0song  ( 談笑  筆跡  <span style="color: black; background-color: pink" title="“Various Writing Systems Supporters Group” in Korean Wikipedia">다지모 한자위키) 12:53, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * You could take the 2nd script in that section (with shortDiffURLs) and slightly modify it to recognize other links and remove the title from URL whenever possible. Also, just a thought: when title cannot be removed, the script could at least decode it, if I remember correcty, this should help Opera display readable titles in the address bar. I would help, but your 8-line signature makes it too difficult to follow this conversation. —AlexSm 20:31, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Tool to highlight matching braces, to aid in debugging templates with mismatched opening and closing braces
Well, basically I am looking for something that, analogously to what Netbeans does with Java code, will highlight the braces so that it's easy to distinguish what matches with what:

I'm working on nested #ifs and keep running into bugs that I'm having trouble tracing. It's driving me nuts. Absidy (talk) 05:07, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I've filed 13829; if and when that enhancement is fixed, it should be much easier to write a script that does that. --ais523 12:07, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * See User:ais523/bracketmatch.js. It adds a link 'Parse' above the edit box; clicking on it will add a bracket-matched copy of the edit box. (It works by calling the Wikimedia servers and asking them to parse the code, so the resulting parse will be exactly how the code will be interpreted, even in pathological cases.) --ais523 12:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Can anyone create a link
Can anyone create a link on the top (near the my preference) or on the left side of the page (near toolbox). The link will contain a customised help page containing template messages and other commonly used links. Suppose the page will be located at User:Amartyabag/Help. Please help.

 * A bit more functional: user:js/popupBookmarks. This will show popup window with the content of your User:Amartyabag/Bookmarks (by default). I wrote this a long time ago. There are some parameters that can change page name and popup behaviour, but they are not documented yet. —AlexSm 23:00, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

validation check for ISBN links
&lrm;→ 002391 · "Implement a validation check for ISBN links"

Dear friends; Can somebody implement this as a JavaScript? Thanks for all your efforts in advance! Best regards

‫·‏לערי ריינהארט‏·‏T‏·‏m‏:‏Th‏·‏T‏·‏email me‏·‏‬ 21:36, 3 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The checking algorithm itself looks easy to implement, but you also need some kind of interface to that. Advisor script seems like a perfect choice for this task. You could ask the authour to build ISBN checks into his script, or we could probably create a "plugin" as described at the bottom of the script description ∴ AlexSm 17:30, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I added validation of 10 and 13-digit ISBN-s to the script. --Cameltrader (talk) 18:58, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Another link, like the request above
This (my monobook page) is my first try at creating any kind of script on Wikipedia. The response to the request immediately above this one, is just what I'm looking for! But I can't get it to work. I've tried exiting my browser entirely, to make sure it refreshes. Can anyone have a look, and see what I'm doing wrong? --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 19:34, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The last but one bracket should be curly. --Cameltrader (talk) 20:02, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Dang, I can't even tell a curly bracket from a curved in this font! Thank you very much; it works fine now! --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 20:25, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

xFD closer
There is a script to close AFDs, can it be expanded to all xFds???? The Placebo Effect (talk) 03:30, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I've made one for MFDs - see User:Jj137/CloseMFD.js. I'm still working on the others (sort of a long term goal, but I'll give it a shot).  jj137   (talk)  03:03, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Could there be a script to not only close the AfD, but also pull down the AfD notice on Kept pages and add the OldAfDFull template to their talk pages?  MBisanz  talk 08:41, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Submit
Does anyone know how to automatically submit the page for the delete function? I know for edits it is document.getElementById('editform').submit; so it is probably something similar.  jj137  (talk)  01:45, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Hint in page source: <input type="submit" value="Delete page" name="wpConfirmB" id="wpConfirmB" tabindex="4" /> --Splarka (rant) 07:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I think you'll need to obtain a  from the server before submitting, so you may need to send two requests. --Cameltrader (talk) 08:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * How would I obtain that? Would I use  ?    jj137   (talk)  22:18, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I can't help you much, because I've never done that, but the API could well give you what you need, assuming you have some familiarity with AJAX and XMLHttpRequest. Also, there are scripts scattered around—in Python, in Perl, and maybe others, which might give you an idea of how to deal with the edit token. --Cameltrader (talk) 22:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * , although I don't understand why you would need that. —AlexSm 23:26, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That works, but it doesn't give me a choice of what I want for the delete summary. I would like for the delete confirm screen to appear, and then with the script I am writing tabs will appear with some of the CSD reasons. When I click that tab, it will automatically delete the page with that CSD reason as the delete summary. I'm just trying to save time when doing maintenance tasks.   jj137   (talk)  00:44, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I must be getting something wrong, because I don't see how these tab are supposed to help. The way you described them, they would save you two clicks on the SELECT drop-down box, but before that you still have to load the delete confirmation page anyway. I can create a script that would skip the confirmation screen entirely (only making one extra API query for edittoken), deleting the page in only one click. However, it would not insert the usual quote of the page content. —AlexSm 04:29, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, that's what the  seemed to do. How exactly would I specify a reason?    jj137   (talk)  01:30, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

You could also pass along a reason as a URL parameter:. You seem to already have this in your script.

To instruct the script to automatically submit a page like that, you could also pass along a fake URL parameter, such as '&autosubmit=true'. (Be careful, though, since this makes you vulnerable to attacks like http://tinyurl.com/yoe45f, which logs you out if you don't have tinyurl preview enabled.) Alternatively, you can use an XHR request to get a delete token, although this is a bit more complicated.

page looks different for blocked user
Can someone write a script that will cause a,  , or   page to look different (perhaps have a different background color) if the user is currently blocked? Alternatively (or also), if the user has ever been blocked?&mdash;msh210 &#x2120; 20:49, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It is possible, with an extra API query. However, userscripts are personal, and it seems you want this executed for every user out there, but nobody is going to agree to add this script into global MediaWiki:Common.js. —AlexSm 21:11, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I don't care if you execute this. I'd want it added to . (It would, of course, execute on every user's userpage, but only when I view the page.)&mdash;msh210 &#x2120; 21:21, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, user:Conrad.Irwin has written wikt:User:Conrad.Irwin/isblocked.js in response to this request. Thank you, Conrad!&mdash;msh210 &#x2120; 21:44, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Umm, somehow I thought it was the same request as on Village pump (technical), cause it happened to be at the same time... Anyway, I might have even a better script in one or two weeks. —AlexSm 23:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Meta script for linking locations in scripts
See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_User_scripts/Scripts

I had an autolinker written that turned any bracketed text in a script into a link when the script is displayed (like on Special:Mypage/monobook.js), so that things like this:

winc('User:SOMEONE/monobook.js');        /* Comment about what the script does */

would be clickable. It seems we have such a script floating around somewhere because bracketed text in diff view is now clickable. Maybe this could be co-opted to create links when viewing a script, too.

Then we'd need to allow bracketed links inside the importScript argument, as they are allowed in my winc function. — Omegatron 02:15, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
