| Hello everyone, and welcome to the 22nd issue of the Misplaced Pages ]. This issue will be covering new and updated user scripts from the past seven months (June through December 2021). | |||
| ] <small>Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script ]!</small> | |||
| {{Col-begin|width=auto}} | |||
| {{Col-break}} | |||
| ] <span style="font-size:125%">'''Featured script'''</span> | |||
| : ''']''', by ''']''', is this month's featured script. LuckyRename makes requesting file moves easier, and automates the many steps in file moving (including automatic replacement of existing usage). Give it a shot! | |||
| ] <span style="font-size:125%">'''Updated scripts'''</span> | |||
| * ''''']''''': ''']''' has been updated to take into account changes in reversion tools like Twinkle and RedWarn. | |||
| * ''''']''''': ''']''' has added a rollback-some option (missed in last issue). | |||
| * ''''']''''': ''']''' (a fork and update of ]'s ]) provides an options menu/toolbox/toolbar allowing users to view a given page in MediaWiki's default skins. | |||
| {{Col-break|gap=10em}} | |||
| ] | |||
| ] <span style="font-size:125%">'''Pending requests'''</span> | |||
| * Mass-patrolling at ] | |||
| * Taking up the mantle of an almost completed peer review javascript bot | |||
| * Restore the Misplaced Pages Citation Tool for Google Books | |||
| * Autohighlighting specific characters (Greek) | |||
| * ...and many more, all available at ] | |||
| ] <span style="font-size:125%">'''Miscellaneous'''</span> | |||
| * ''']''' is a sortable table of Misplaced Pages's thousand-or-so most commonly used scripts; it includes their author, last modification date, installation count, and sometimes a short description. | |||
| * ''']''' is a community managed catalog of software tools used in the Wikimedia movement. Technical volunteers can use Toolhub to document the tools that they create or maintain. All Wikimedians can use Toolhub to search for tools to help with their workflows and to create lists of useful tools to share with others. | |||
| {{Col-end}} | |||
| ] <span style="font-size:125%">'''New scripts'''</span> | |||
| *''''']''''': | |||
| **''']''' sorts AfC drafts by adding WikiProject banners to their talk pages. It supersedes ], adding a few features and fixing some bugs. | |||
| **''']''', a modified ] that adds a link to the left column, allows adding and removing both prefixes and suffixes. | |||
| **''']''' removes missing pages (redlinks), redirects, pages you haven't edited recently, and/or pages you've never edited from your watchlist. | |||
| *''''']''''': | |||
| **''']''' adds infinite scrolling to user contributions, page histories, and log pages. | |||
| **''']''' allows for the fast creation of red-linked pages with two clicks. | |||
| *''''']''''': | |||
| **''']''' adds a clock displaying the current UTC time. | |||
| *''''']''''': | |||
| **''']''', mainly for ] case handlers, allows graphically editing a talk page's {{tl|copied}} templates. | |||
| *''''']''''': | |||
| **''']''' adds a portlet link in ]'s source mode editing, in main namespace articles or in the user's Sandbox. When clicked, it converts one {{tlx|cite book}} inside a <code><nowiki><ref>...</ref></nowiki></code> tag block into an {{tlx|Sfn}}. | |||
| *''''']''''': | |||
| **''']''' is a custom version of ] which doesn't prepend {{Tl|Clear}} to the top of each section on the archive page. | |||
| *''''']''''': | |||
| **''']''' enables editing directly from viewing a diff "when, for instance, you notice a tiny mistake deep into an article, and don't want to edit the entire article and re-find that one line to fix that tiny mistake". | |||
| **''']''' warns you if you're about to open a very large file (width/height >10,000px or file size >100 MB) from a file page. | |||
| *''''']''''': | |||
| **'''<span style="plainlinks"></span>''' adds a collection of tools for Newspapers.com including configurable automatic citation generation in five different formats. | |||
| **''']''' gives you links on the contribs page to hide duplicate entries, current revisions, rollbacks, huggles, twinkles, and redwarns. | |||
| ** ''']''' lets you automatically sum the lengths of tracks in templates like {{tl|track listing}} and get total runtimes. | |||
| *''''']''''': | |||
| **''']''' adds a button to copy the unencoded page title or section path next to each heading. | |||
| **''']''' allows you to type in IPA symbols by directly looking at an IPA key like ] and clicking on the symbols. | |||
| **''']''' warns when you try to use "Preview page with this template" with a page that doesn't transclude the template. | |||
| *''''']''''': | |||
| **''']''' adds "Contributions" and "Statistics" tabs to user and user talk pages on the ] skin. | |||
| **''']''' adds a "CopyvioCheck" tab to all pages, except ] (Vector skin only). | |||
| **''']''' is a version of ] which shows a wikilink instead of a URL. | |||
| **''']''' (by OneTwoThreeFall at Fandom) lets you quickly view any diff link on a wiki, whether on Recent Changes, contribs pages, history pages, the diff view itself, or elsewhere. For more information, view its . | |||
| *''''']''''': | |||
| **''']''' scans a list of 1,600 ] keywords and displays them at the top of the article. | |||
| **''']''' highlights recently created articles in the new pages feed, to discourage patrolling them too quickly. | |||
| **''']''' concisely displays what perm was added or removed when viewing ]. | |||
| **''']''' displays a rough count of keeps and deletes at XFDs, RFCs, etc. | |||
| **''']''' automatically watchlists the ] of any pages you ] accept or ] patrol, to help you calibrate your reviewing. | |||
| *''''']''''': | |||
| **''']''' enables Twinkle on mobile view (Minerva skin). | |||
| *''''']''''': | |||
| **''']''' adds a → link after redirects to edit them. | |||
| **''']''', a script for fixing typos, is a wrapper for ]. | |||
| **''']''' creates links after user talk page links like this: |<span style="font-size:x-small; display:inline-block;">{{False link|C}}</span>|<span style="font-size:x-small; display:inline-block;">{{False link|TB}}</span> (with the first linking to the user's contributions, and the latter giving the option of sending a {{tl|talkback}} notice). It also adds a link next to section headers. | |||
| *''''']''''': | |||
| **''']''' shows "copy" links on history and contributions pages that copy an internal link to the diff (e.g., ]) to your clipboard when clicked. | |||
| *''''']''''': | |||
| **''']''' automatically watchlists every page you edit for a user-definable duration (you can still pick a different time using the dropdown, though). | |||
| **''']''' generates the wikitext needed to ping all members of a category, up to 50 editors (the limit defined by MediaWiki). | |||
| **''']''' allows for easy sharing of your inputs to ]. It adds a button that, when clicked, copies a shareable URL to your exact invocation of the page, . Other editors '''do not''' need to have this script installed in order to access the URL generated. | |||
| **''']''' shows the real names of tags next to their display names in places such as page revision histories or the watchlist. | |||
| *''''']''''': | |||
| **''']''' adds a button (under "Insert") in VisualEditor to add a {{tl|citation needed}} tag. | |||
| *''''']''''': | |||
| **''']''' color-codes the user contributions page so that pages you've edited last are sharply distinguished from pages where another editor was the last to edit the page. | |||
| *''''']''''': | |||
| **''']''' is a fork of ], which adds a UI to the script. (using ], so you'll need to have ] enabled to use it). | |||
| All in all, some very neat scripts were written in these last few months. Hoping to see many more in the next issue -- ] if you've been writing (or seeing) anything cool and good. Filling in for DannyS712, this has been ''']'''×''']'''. Take care, and merry Christmas! ''']'''×''']''' 07:30, 24 December 2021 (UTC) | |||
