Help with the word count script
Hi! I'm getting ready for the upcoming drive this coming month and I've been trying to get the word count script mentioned on this page working for me. For some reason I can't see a "Page Size" link on the left-hand sidebar after I've added the script to my skin's Javascript. Anyone know what's going on? I'm using the Modern skin. -- Tenryuu (🐲 • 💬 • 🌟) 17:19, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't use the Modern skin, but it looks like you have the right code in your modern.js file. Just a guess: try putting the loader code line (the whole thing) in your common.js file instead of in modern.js. I use the Vector skin, and the Page size link shows up in the left sidebar, under "Tools". – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:24, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I've copied it over to my common.js and shift-F5'ed, but it still doesn't seem to be appearing. -- Tenryuu (🐲 • 💬 • 🌟) 19:13, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't know. That's strange. I'd leave it there and see if maybe it fixes itself over the next day or so. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:30, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the advice anyway. I've already cleared my cache in the hopes that it would work, but if it doesn't I'm sure there are websites that will analyse word count. -- Tenryuu (🐲 • 💬 • 🌟) 20:01, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * You could also try going to Special:Preferences and enabling the "Prosesize" gadget. I don't know when that option appeared. Remember to click Save at the bottom of the page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:18, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Just enabled and tested it on a random article. Thanks ! Seems like it will suit my needs. -- Tenryuu (🐲 • 💬 • 🌟) 20:25, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I added the script and it seems to work. However, when adding and previewing the code, note that at the bottom the editor offers: "Error: Expected a string and instead saw a {." And then on save, it will ask if you are sure as there is an error. I presume this is merely part of the js editor not understanding the template but might be worth noting as something one should expect. Zatsugaku (talk) 18:11, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Wonder if it may be a copy-paste issue. This was the first script I ever installed, and I've never had problems with it other than its not doing bullet lists and needing to be previewed for section edits. As mentioned, it's easy-peasy now to enable it in Preferences → Gadgets → Browsing. Good luck and all the best,  Mini  apolis  02:59, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Viju Shah Article Check
Howdy. I just copyedited the article Viju Shah. I am requesting it to be looked over for anything I missed before I put it as completed in the November Drive. Also, do I put anything next to it since it had Articles Needing Copyediting from October 2018 tag? Thanks, Prairie Astronomer Contributions 18:33, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for asking for help. The article needed more work. Please take a look at MOS:QUOTETITLE and MOS:ITALICTITLE for guidance. I tagged a bunch of claims with citation needed templates, and removed some unsourced WP:PUFFERY. It had an old date on its copy edit tag due to an error by the person who added the tag. It was tagged this month. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:55, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
