	You're welcome.
	Happy to support the valid points you made. By the way, I've proposed some additional language citing facts that are not supportive of the IPCC's projections on climate change. You may be interested, and I would encourage you to check them out in the talk page. Kolg8 (talk) 14:12, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Kolg8. Have you had a chance to look into this list? Cheers.

Hi Guarapiranga,

I noticed that you are a heavy contributor to all sorts of lists of data points on Wikipedia. I am interested in such lists as well, but many of them are very difficult to maintain and update. In theory, the ones that come from a single source should be easy to update, but someone needs to write a script to do this. Still, it is hard to believe that every update currently made (e.g. annual update) is made by hand. Are you aware of any existing tools for updating such lists, even if they only deal with a specific list?

Thanks, Ynhockey ^(Talk) 10:41, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ynhockey, what I've been trying to do is link the lists via transclusion. Look for instance at the List of South American countries by population and how it's linked to the List of countries by population. Not only were the population figures there static (and therefore outdated), but all calculations were pasted as number. I have since then replaced them with formulas linked to the source column. This doesn't always work, as the wiki engine is not designed for spreadsheets, so it takes some playing around with the syntax for it to work.

Alternatively, there's a script that queries tables from Wikidata, but I find that's too automated, as much of the work in keeping the data up to date requires pulling it out from external sources not prepared for scraping (and many times in foreign languages). Again, a good example of that is the List of countries by population, which is maintained by vigilant wikipedians. But even there the percentage calculations were made by entering the population numbers twice, one for the pop column and one for the percent column, which is obviouly prone to error, instead of transcluding from one to the other, so I changed that. Guarapiranga (talk) 19:50, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is, however, a lot of resistance from editors to working with transcluded data across articles, Ynhockey (see Oldest people, for example). — Guarapiranga ☎ 02:18, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I realized on a re-read that I'd been a bit testy in my wording toward you, on the content alignment threads. Sorry about that. I think it's a seasonal affect thing that's put me in a poor mood. Today is American Thanksgiving, and Christmas is around the corner. Both of them being very family-oriented holidays, they make me unhappy because few of my family members are still living and those that are live half a continent away. At least I'm catching myself at projecting my mood around. Need to compartmentalize better again!  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  19:34, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Guarapiranga. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "List of countries by prevalence of circumcision and female genital mutilation".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Hello Guarapiranga. I noticed your attempt to fix a ping. Unfortunately, that method does not work. The notifications system only informs a user when you link their username in the same saved edit as you successfully sign your post. A ping cannot be fixed in a later edit by adding your signature or fixing a botched username. Instead, reference the user by adding [[User:Example]] to an edit summary, or use one of the other methods at Help:Fixing failed pings. ― Qwerfjkl | 𝕋𝔸𝕃𝕂  (please use {{reply to|Qwerfjkl}} on reply) 11:23, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Twice in the last few days, you have made multiple edits to live templates that are transcluded in many pages, introducing breaking changes. I recently reverted erroneous edits at {{Flaglist}}, which happened after you broke {{UN population}}. For any but the simplest of edits, please make your edits to the template's sandbox, then use the template's testcases page to ensure that you have not broken anything, then explain your changes on the template's talk page. Feel free to ping me from a template talk page if you would like feedback on your proposed edits to a template sandbox.

I have observed the new editing you recently do in the current version of the article and I appreciate your efforts. However, it makes me extremely confused about how you made the ranking as it seems there is no scenario by restructing the tabulation which shows some statistical advanced countries being put behind while some others have lower figures are forwarded. May I ask your criteria on how you determined the ranking before the renewal? If you have no appropriate elaboration then I regret I would request to reverse to the old one. 123.195.130.73 (talk) 04:26, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

1. The ranking is not fixed. Rather, the 1st column has {{static row numbers}}, and you can rank the rows by whichever column you choose.
2. The initial order, if I'm not mistaken, is the average of the GDP estimates (nothing to do with how advanced the countries are).

Hi, regarding WP:Village pump (technical)/Archive 191#Invoking scripts from the url.... (Sorry I didn't get to this until it was archived.) What you may have been thinking of is the following: you can go to a page, then enter something like javascript:importScript('User:UserName/scriptName.js'); in the address bar to invoke the script.

This method works in Chrome and Edge. For Internet Explorer, you'd have to tack functionName(); onto the end. A different method is required for Firefox: you'd have to open the JavaScript Console (Ctrl-Shift-K in Windows) and enter importScript('User:UserName/scriptName.js');.

Hey! I see you've been adding some usage examples to some templates (1 2). Please keep in mind that, when using tbullet, you must use {{BASEPAGENAME}}, not {{PAGENAME}}. This is because {{PAGENAME}} includes the entire title. This means the page attempts to transclude the /doc, and this leads to template recursion (See Category:Pages with template loops). Meanwhile, {{BASEPAGENAME}} is just the regular template page. Thanks! Aidan9382 _(talk) 04:44, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Guarapiranga, I'm not sure what you were trying to achieve with this edit to Results of the 2022 Australian federal election (Senate) - labeling a section with tags <section begin= /><section end= /> enables you to transclude the labeled section, BUT using the same heading more than once on a page causes problems - it only works for the first section. It seems like what you want to achieve is to transclude only the main parties. A better way to achieve this is to use <noinclude></noinclude> tags to prevent transcluding particular rows. The way it's been done for previous elections is to only include parties that won or lost seats. You can also use <includeonly></includeonly> tags to add an additional row at the end for others - this will only show up on the transclusion. Also {{Excerpt}} is generally easier to use than transcluding. I have edited Results of the 2019 Australian federal election (House of Representatives), Results of the 2019 Australian federal election (Senate) and 2019 Australian federal election to do what I think you're trying to achieve. --Find bruce (talk) 00:56, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Guaraparanga. I noticed that you reversed my rather small edit on Brit Milah. It was kind of a test edit, as I find that this article violates, in many ways, the WP policy on NPOV. As a relatively inexperienced WP editor, I thought that I would reach out to you and see what your POV and intentions are with respect to the article. If you look at the Brit Milah Talk page, you will see a couple of complaints about the obvious problems with this article. It has obviously been edited by people who do not like circumcision. If you look at the article on Circumcision, an admittedly controversial topic, you will notice that the article is quite balanced, including circumcision within the Jewish population. "Brit Milah" is about the Jewish ceremony and practice. It was a minor point within the biased article, but still highly misleading for someone to say that a "growing number" of Jews have chosen not to circumcise their sons. If it is growing from .01% to .03%, then that is growing, but it is still insignificant. In your reversal, you indicated that you would add a RS. However, there are already 6 sources there. Are you saying that these sources are not reliable? The Brit Milah article is full of sources, but that does not necessarily make them reliable. Soon, I plan to enter on the Talk page my intention to considerably edit the article to give it NPOV. Speaking of sources, the article on Brit Milah in the Jewish Virtual Library would seem like a great reference. I see that the JVL article is linked at the bottom of the article, but it is not listed as a numbered source in the WP article. So, at this point, I am looking for feedback and guidance from you. Regards, Howardlhoffman Howardlhoffman (talk) 00:25, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Howardlhoffman,

• I noticed that you reversed my rather small edit on Brit Milah.
  All part of the WP:CYCLE.
• It was kind of a test edit, as I find that this article violates, in many ways, the WP policy on NPOV.
  In what ways?
• As a relatively inexperienced WP editor, I thought that I would reach out to you and see what your POV and intentions are with respect to the article.
  What I can tell you is that WP:NPOV doesn't mean what most new editors think it means. The neutrality it speaks of is that of the editors in relation to the sources, not of the sources themselves (WP:YESPOV):

  Achieving what the Wikipedia community understands as neutrality means carefully and critically analyzing a variety of reliable sources and then attempting to convey to the reader the information contained in them fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible without editorial bias.

  Our own POV, as editors, therefore ought to be irrelevant; that's what WP:NPOV means.
• It was a minor point within the biased article, but still highly misleading for someone to say that a "growing number" of Jews have chosen not to circumcise their sons. If it is growing from .01% to .03%, then that is growing, but it is still insignificant.
  WP doesn't draw conclusions; that's WP:OR. If the RS say it's "growing", then WP says it's growing (whether significant or not).
• In your reversal, you indicated that you would add a RS. However, there are already 6 sources there. Are you saying that these sources are not reliable?
  One of them wasn't—and advocacy website—so I removed it, and added others.
• The Brit Milah article is full of sources, but that does not necessarily make them reliable.
  Indeed it doesn't; consensus at WP:RSP does. The ones that aren't reliable ought to be removed per WP:RS (as I've just done).
• Speaking of sources, the article on Brit Milah in the Jewish Virtual Library would seem like a great reference.
  And right there is an example of a source deemed not reliable here at WP.

Hi Guarapiranga. Thank you for the detailed response to my comments above. You have been most helpful. I have spent quite a bit of time reviewing the WP references in your response.

To answer your question: It was a test to see what would happen when I made a small edit to the article. I have in mind doing a lot of edits to the Brit Milah article, but I wanted to see what kind of response I would get from other editors. And, I was hoping for help, so thank you again.

With respect to your comment: "WP doesn't draw conclusions", I have found 3 important WP policies that are relevant to the Brit Milah article and my interest in editing it: WP:Cherrypicking, WP:Fringe, and WP:Undue. As of this moment, the article has lots of good information, but it is full of Cherrypicking, relies on Fringe theories, and gives Undue weight to certain POV's. All of this is in violation of NPOV. The article is especially in violation in the Lead Section. So, I started checking the sources. Great example: the cited article "Increasingly, a Ritual Is Bypassed" from the NYT. The NYT article states: ". . . circumcision remains nearly universal among American Jews, with 98 percent of Jewish men having been circumcised". This is precisely why I made my small initial edit. The NYT article goes on to say "But within the Bay Area, there is a debate ...". Well, I have lived in the [SF] Bay Area for most of the past 52 years, and I am familiar with this fringe line of thinking (against circumcision within the Jewish community). I know hundreds of Jewish males, including converts, in the Bay Area and I know of exactly 2 that are not circumcised. Admittedly, there might be others, as I do not do inspections :>) And, as the NYT article states is most often the case, the 2 are of a single mixed marriage (father not Jewish).

So, here is how I plan on proceeding and I would appreciate your feedback on this: I plan on announcing my intentions on the Brit Milah talk page so that everyone can see why I am editing the way I am. I hope that you and other editors can help me in improving this article. I will do the editing in pieces, rather than doing it all at once, and there will be an entry on the talk page each time instead of long Edit Summaries.

Question: When an editor cites a book as a source, how does one go about seeing if it is a legitimate source for the small amount of text added? Anyone can cite a book as a reference and Cherrypick to their heart's content. Life is too short to read every book on the subject listed as a reference in this article. Howardlhoffman (talk) 23:28, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed it is, Howardlhoffman. Hopefully, one of the 122,190 of us, (active) editors, will check each book. Typically, what happens to me is that when I'm looking into a topic, I start with WP of course, and follow it to the sources. If I find the sources don't support its text, I change it. I never really took a whole article to have it completely checked and revamped (other than perhaps lists and very small ones).

Now, specifically regarding your edit that I reverted, you say the vast majority of male Jews are circumcised, and I see no source stating the opposite. Saying that the proportion of uncircumcised Jews is growing doesn't contradict that. — Guarapiranga ☎ 22:42, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

KlayCax:

1. What "error" messages did you see? I don't see any in my last version.
2. How do the "error" messages in Circumcision explain your reverts of my edits in Prevalence of circumcision?
3. Whatever [I was] trying to do is explained in my edit summary: Circumcision § Future is a copy of Prevalence of circumcision § Future; to make sure they don't develop in different directions, I transcluded Prevalence of circumcision § Future as an {{excerpt}} into Circumcision § Future.
4. You also reverted my edits that corrected the reference in that section (Assaf is not the lead author—Bolnick is—and that's not even his last name—it's Yosha!).
5. I'm not going to revert your reversion, or else we'll be truly and fully in an edit war, so I please ask you to revert it yourself and let me know what "error" messages you saw.

  — Guarapiranga ☎ 21:55, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The citations show "cite error" (citation error). I think it's because the references in the circumcision article are named differently than those in the prevalence of circumcision. The note in the subsection also becomes broken: probably for different reasons. I'm not presently knowledgeable about Wikicode to fix it. However, if you can figure it out, I support your edits. I don't have a problem with that section of prevalence of circumcision being linked with the circumcision article.

corrected the reference in that section My apologies. I didn't notice that part got added back in the reversion. Feel free to correct it.

Don't consider reverting it (after fixing) an edit war. I don't have an objection with it. The original edit just broke the formatting. KlayCax (talk) 19:51, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In your edit of 05:30, 5 May 2021 (UTC) of List of countries by average wage, you converted a 3-column chart to a 1-column chart, and in doing so, you stripped out the second and third <li>...</li> tags and left the first one unclosed, and you stripped out the closing </ul>, leaving the opening tag unclosed. Amazingly, nobody bothered to clean this up until now. I discovered this with the lintHint tool. For more info on lintHint, see WP:linter#User Javascript tool: lintHint.

Hi. Long time. Please see: Help:Table#Without asterisks. Only one preference

I think you did most of the editing of {{flag+link}}. Would you be interested in updating that template to allow 2 preferences?

Similar to how {{flagg}} allows 2 preferences in Help:Table#Without asterisks after location names.

{{flag+link}} is simpler to use than {{flagg}}. --Timeshifter (talk) 21:27, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Discovered that {{flag+link}} works where {{flagg}} does not. Colspan problem. See Template talk:Flagg#Does not work with colspan and bottom of this section: Help:Table#Adding links to specialized country, state, etc. articles. With asterisk.

The SA parliament voted today to suspend ties with Israel:[4] — Guarapiranga ☎ 22:24, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You need to read the articles you share and stop with the now disruptive editing.

FYI User:Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts.js doesn't work anymore in Vector 2022. Aaron Liu (talk) 20:31, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New year, new scripts. Welcome to the 23rd issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering around 39% of our favorite new and updated user scripts since 24 December 2021. That’s right, we haven’t published in two years! Can you believe it? Did you miss us?

Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

Featured script

[edit]

RefRenamer by Nardog is this issue's featured script. For whatever reason, the foundation will only give us better reference names in VisualEditor if we wish for it in the next survey. Nardog to the rescue! This script has a ton of options to satisfy almost anyone who wishes to use better refnames than ":0" and ":418".

Updated scripts

[edit]

• Nardog: MoveHistory can now look up the move history of any page from anywhere on the site.
• User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink now has a version that copies the Special:Diff link with square brackets.
• User:GhostInTheMachine/WatchlistTidy now moves the Active Filters panel to the right so that the Show/Hide button doesn't constantly jump.
• User:Alexander Davronov/HistoryHelper has now become stable with some bugfixes and features such as automatically highlighting potentially uncivil edit summaries and automatically pinging all the users selected.
• Wikipedia:AutoEd/unicodehex.js will no longer replace legacy MediaWiki dot-entities (dot followed by two uppercase alphanumeric characters) in article links, which caused several links to become broken.

Improve a script

[edit]

• Many of our favorite scripts such as User:Fred Gandt/userResourceManager, User:Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts and User:Bradv/Scripts/Superlinks haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
• User:Elominius/gadget/media timer works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
• To a lesser extent, the same goes for User:PrimeHunter/Search sort.js. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
• We want...

• ...a mark-as-read button for Watchlyst Greybar Unsin
• ...a tool to automatically fix CAT:BROKENREFs, preferably a fork/addition to User:TheJJJunk/ARA
• ...a fix/fork of User:DannyS712/SectionRemover.js to make it work

Requested scripts

[edit]

• A WP:3O requesting and responding tool, similar to Terasil's classic edit request tool
• A "bytes removed"/"added" filter on the user contribs page
• A review tool for WP:proposed deletions
• Mass patrol new pages by a user for use in WP:RFP/A
• ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

New scripts

[edit]

• Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin is a rewrite of Ais's Watchlist Notifier with modern APIs and several new features such as not displaying watchlist items marked as seen (hence the name), not bolding diffs of unseen watchlist elements which doesn’t work properly anyways, displaying the rendered edit summary, proper display of log and creation actions and more links.
• Alexis Jazz: Factotum is a spiritual successor to reply-link with a host of extra features like section adding, link rewriting, regular expressions and more.
• User:Aveaoz/AutoMobileRedirect: This script will automatically redirect MobileFrontend (en.m.wikipedia) to normal Wikipedia. Unlike existing scripts, this one will actually check if your browser is mobile or not through its secret agent string, so you can stay logged in on mobile! Hooray screen estate!
• Chlod:
  • Deputy is a first-of-its-kind copyright cleanup toolkit. It overrides the interface for Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations for easy case processing. It also includes the functionality of the following (also new) scripts:
    • Attribution Notice Template Editor (ANTE) graphically modifies content attribution notices. It is the successor to User:Chlod/Scripts/CopiedTemplateEditor and supports more templates than {{copied}} ones.
    • Infringement Assistant allows a user to hide sections of a page for suspected copyright violations and report the page to the appropriate Wikipedia:Copyright problems noticeboard.
• User:Elominius/gadget/diff arrow keys allows navigation between diffs with the arrow keys. It also has a version that requires holding Ctrl with the arrow key.
• Enterprisey
  • diff-permalink-2 allows quickly copying wikilinks to diff and permalink pages from those pages, a variation of existing script User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink
  • archiver is a fork of Σ's Archiver with several bugfixes.
  • /parent-cats highlights categories that are a subcategory of a category already included in a page's categories.
• User:Guarapiranga/accessKeysCheatSheet adds an access key shortcut to display all shortcuts based on code provided by Nardog and NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh.
• User:HungKhanh0106/ProperDisplay loads a bunch of fonts to add correct rendering supports for "esoteric" languages.
• User:Jeeputer/highlightPiped will make piped links irresistible (or else).
• User:Jerome Frank Disciple/curlyfixer.js adds an WP:AutoEd function that straightens curly quotes per MOS. That's right! Such a module was only made in the 14th year of AutoEd's existence! Configure away!
• Frequently link to Wikipedia on your websites yet find generating CC-BY credits to be such a hassle? Say no more! User:Luke10.27/attribute will automatically do it for ya and copy the credit to yer clipboard.
• User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft, a spiritual successor (i.e. fork) to Evad37's script, with a few bugs solved, and a host of extra features like check-boxes for choosing draftification reasons, multi-contributor notification, and appropriate warnings based on last edit time.
• Nardog
  • /CopyCodeBlock: one of the most important operations for any scripter and script-user is to copy and paste. This script adds a copy button in the top right of every code block (not to be confused with <code>) that will, well, copy it to your clipboard!
  • /RCMuter: Hide specific users, perhaps User:MediaWiki message delivery, from the Watchlist and Recent Changes.
  • /VitalTopicon makes you see the vital article topicon on WP:vital articles.
• m:User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AceForLuaDebugConsole.js adds the Ace editor (a.k.a. the editor you see when editing JS, CSS and Lua on Wikimedia wikis) to the Lua debug console. "In my opinion, whoever designed it to be a plain <textarea> needs to seriously reconsider their decision."
• Novem Linguae
  • DraftCleaner fixes formatting of new articles.
  • GANReviewTool quickly and easily closes good article nominations.
  • ReviewStatus displays whether or not a mainspace page is marked as reviewed.
  • SpeciesHelper tries to add the correct speciesbox, category, taxonbar, and stub template to species articles.
• User:Opencooper/svgReplace and Tol's fork replaces all rasterized SVGs with their original SVG codes for your loading pleasures. Tell us which one is better!
• User:Phlsph7/HighlightUnreferencedPassages adds a button to highlight all unreferenced paragraphs in reds, and can even do it automatically.
• Still hate Vector 2022's floating TOC? User:Phlsph7/UnfoldedNumberedTOC(Vector2022) might make you give it a try.
• Quite a bit of pages at Special:WantedCategories either exist now or got removed. User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/hideUnwantedCategories automatically hides those.
• User:SuperHamster's Wikipedia:Tools/View it! generates a gallery of images for a given subject on any Wikimedia project utilizing Structured Data on Commons. Images can then be added as needed.
• Terasail
  • ArticleInfo displays page information at the top of the page, directly below the title.
  • /HeaderIcons takes away the Vector 2022 user dropdown and replaces it with all of the icons within, top level, right next to the Watchlist. One less click away! There's also an alternate version that uses text links instead of icons.
• ...and any more, all available at WP:US/L.

Due to budget and procrastination limitations, we've only had time to review the first ~39% of the scripts since last issue. Help us out here! Aaron Liu (talk) 13:24, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Featured script

[edit]

Making user scripts load faster by SD0001 is this month's featured script, which caches userscripts every day to eliminate the overhead caused by force-downloading the newest version of scripts every time you open a Wikipedia page. Despite being released in April 2021, our best script scouters have failed to locate it due to its omission from the US of L. For security reasons, the script only supports loading JavaScript pages.

Newly maintained scripts

[edit]

After earthly attempts at improving the original have failed...

• Aaron Liu has created What redirects here from Guarapiranga/WhatRedirectsHere; his fork includes support for every MediaWiki wiki, corrected link positions, an access key, and some rudimentary translation.
• Ahecht has created a fork of SiBr4/TemplateSearch, which adds the "TP:" shortcut for "Template:" in the search box, and updated it to be compatible with Vector 2022.
• AquilaFasciata/goToTopFast is a much faster fork of the classic goToTop script that also adds compatibility for Minerva and Vector 2022.
• Mesidast/Tidy citations is a fork of Meteor sandwich yum/Tidy citations is a fork of Waldyrious/formatcitations. It configurably harmonizes whitespace and cleans up parameters in citation templates, descriptive edit summary included.

Improve a script

[edit]

Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here!

• Many of our favorite scripts such as Fred Gandt/userResourceManager, Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts and Bradv/Superlinks haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
• Elominius/media timer works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
• To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
• We want...

• ...a mark-as-read button and watchlist notices support for Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin
• ...a tool to automatically fix CAT:BROKENREFs, preferably a fork/addition to TheJJJunk/ARA
• ...a fix/fork of DannyS712/SectionRemover to make it work

Requested scripts

[edit]

• A simple script to second or archive proposed deletions
• A script to auto-expand V22 ToC sections like this demo
• A WP:3O response tool that can automatically remove the relevant request from the 3O dashboard
• A byte filter to be split from Nux/LongTableFilters
• ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

New scripts

[edit]

• DannyS712/AbuseFilterMessageLinks add links to the "warn" and "disallow" messages in edit filters.
• Diegodlh/Web2Cit/script adds an option to use m:Web2Cit (which WP:ProveIt also uses) instead of mw:Citoid to generate citations in the Visual Editor.
• Dragoniez/SuppressEnterInForm stops you from accidentally submitting anything due to pressing enter while in the smaller box, and works on almost anything... except the InputBox element itself, used in subscription lists and the Signpost Crossword! Oh, the humanity!

• 

  Doǵu/Adiutor (pictured) provides a nice, integrated interface to do some twinkley tasks such as copyvio detection, CSD tagging, and viewing the most recent diff.

• 

  Eejit43 has quite the aesthetically pleasing scripts, all made in TypeScript.
  • /afcrc-helper is a replacement for the unmaintained Enterprisey/AFCRHS and processes Redirects for Creation and Categories for Creation requests.
  • /ajax-undo stops the "undo" button from taking you to another page while providing a text box to provide a reason for the revert.
  • /redirect-helper (pictured) adds a much better interface for editing and redirects, including categorization, for which valid categories are dictated by /redirect-helper.json.
  • /rmtr-helper helps process technical requested moves without being able to actually move them.

• 

  Guycn2/UserInfoPopup (pictured) adds a flyout after the watchlist star on userspace pages that displays the common information you might use about a user.
• Jeeputer/editCounter, under userspace, adds a portlet link to count your edits by namespace, put them in a table, and put that table in a hardcoded subpage, all in the background.
• Hilst/Scripts/sectionLinks converts all section links to use the § sign, which are known to be preferred over the ugly # by 99% of the devils I've met.
• Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable highlights phrases commonly used in spammed and POV'd paragraphs.

• 

  NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/FormattedEditRequest (pictured) generates a wikitext-formatted diff view of any changes you've made that you can copy and paste anywhere.
• PrimeHunter/Category source.js adds portlet links to tell you where a category for an article comes from and supports those from template transclusions.
• Qwerfjkl/massCFD creates mass WP:CfD nominations.
• Rublov/refspace highlights footnote spacing errors in red.
• Sophivorus's MiniEdit adds some nice, li'l buttons next to paragraphs to edit their wikitext with a minimal interface.

Edit-listings

[edit]

• Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks adds more and customizable links next to users in page history, logs, watchlist, recent changes, etc.
• Firefly/more-block-info optimizes the display of rangeblocks in contribution pages. Doesn't work outside the English locale of any wiki, unfortunately.
• Ingenuity/AbuseFilterContribs adds the edit filters that an edit tripped (if any) to a user's contributions page.
  • Nardog/ExamineMore makes it so the paging at Special:AbuseFilter/examine actually works, pending a fix to T292764.
• NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader makes paging links (e.g. older 50, 500, newest) load without refreshing and makes you realize how slow your internet actually is.

Appearance-ricing

[edit]

• Ahecht/RedirectID adds the redirect target to all redirects. For all the WP:NAVPOPS haters. (Do these exist?)
• Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal: Remember the "strike blocked usernames" gadget? Now you can use a red, dotted line to highlight rangeblocks and global locks!
• GhostInTheMachine/GraphicReplyLink replaces the [ reply ] link with 💬, which is some sort of rainy cloud I guess?^[Joke]

• 

  Jonesey/common (pictured) has some styles to overhaul your Vector 2022 experience. It reduces padding everywhere, and makes the top bar animation faster.
  • Aaron Liu/V22 is a fork that narrows the sidebars instead of upheaving them, reverts the January 2024 dropdown changes, and restores the old page-link color for links that don't go outside the current wiki.
• Nardog: SmartDiff is a spiritual successor to Enterprisey/fancy-diffs. It makes the page title part of links in diffs clickable, along with template and parser function calls. Unnamed parameters can be configured per template to also be linked. All links are styled based on the normal CSS classes of rendered links.
• Phlsph7/ClassicalTOC (Vector 2022) reinserts the inline table of contents to pages under Vector 2022.
• For the paranoid: Rublov/anonymize replaces your username at the top of the screen with the generic "User page" text. Remember, it is your duty to persuade everyone that editing is an honor.
• Sideswipe9th/Vector 2022 Floating Tools Menu moves the Page Tools menu to the left and makes it float along with the table of contents.
• Sm8ps/SectionEditing makes pressing Tab ↹ toggle the visibility of the tiny [ edit ] links next to section headings.. Not a great name, eh?
• The wub/tocExpandAll adds a button on top of the floating ToC to expand or collapse subheadings.

Permissions required!

[edit]

• Ahecht/potd-helper: A script to post the picture of the day. A powerful upgrade for your mop.

• 

  Dragoniez
  • /AjaxBlock provides a dialog box for easy input of reasons while blocking users.
  • /Selective Rollback (pictured) provides a dialog box to customize rollback edit summaries and does them without reloading the page. Seriously, why doesn't MediaWiki already do this?
• Theleekycauldron/DYK promoter automates (nearly) all the work needed to post a DYK hook.

QOL shortcuts

[edit]

• BrandonXLF/SVGEditor lets you edit any file that is an SVG, straight from the file page.
• DanCherek/UAABotRemover adds a portlet link to enable a removal shortcut of faulty reports from Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention.
• DreamRimmer/BlankUserPage helps you destroy webhost-ers' hopes and dreams with a user-friendly dialog box.
• ESanders (WMF)/commentlinks.js adds a "link" button right after the "reply" button while the WMF struggles to reach feature parity with Convenient Discussions.
• Isaacl/copy-comment-link-to-clipboard does exactly what you'd think it does, but in Wikitext.
• FenrisAureus/SimpleStatus adds a shortcut at the top to edit your /Status subpage while providing a pre-made template.
• Fred Gandt/addCloneClearButtonAboveScributoConsole: What a mouthful! Yet all it does (no offense) is add another Clear button on top of the Lua module debug console.
• Guarapiranga/GlobalWatchlistLink adds a link to metawiki:Special:GlobalWatchlist next to the normal watchlist.
• Nardog
  • PasteToCommons adds a paste handler to upload the pasted image to Wikimedia Commons.
  • Unpipe tries to detect violations of WP:NOPIPE and fix them as much as possible.
• Ohconfucius/tometricunits automatically adds unit conversions of imperial units in brackets after their uses per MOS:UNITS.
• Suntooooth
  • /flickrsearch adds a portlet link to search for uploadable flickr images about the subject.
  • /randomincategory adds a portlet link when on Category pages to go to a random page in the current category.
• Vghfr/EasyTemplates adds a portlet link to automatically insert some of the most common inline {{fix}} templates.

Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!

Hey there, welcome to the 25th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 March 2024. We've got a ton of wonderful editors taking back their pitchforks today. Don't worry, for they come in peace, to forcibly fix and extend existing scripts you use with sheer passion. There's so many, them forks have got what's basically their own column now! gift us with some rows before it's too late Aaron Liu (talk) 04:01, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

Featured script

[edit]

inline-diff-inline-patrol by Ponor is this edition's featured script. By loading diffs inline on every page that shows a list of changes, it implements the 2023 community wish m:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Admins and patrollers/Inline diffs and inline patrol. Hopefully we won't need this script anymore soon, with the WMF's focus on the backlog...

Improve a script

[edit]

• Many of our favorite scripts such as Fred Gandt/userResourceManager, Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts and Bradv/Superlinks haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
• Elominius/media timer works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
• To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
• We want...

• ...watchlist notices support for Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin
• ...a tool to automatically fix CAT:BROKENREFs, preferably a fork/addition to TheJJJunk/ARA
• ...a fix/fork of DannyS712/SectionRemover to make it work

Requested scripts

[edit]

• Automatically delink all duplicate links within the same section per MOS:LINKONCE.
• Collapsible parentheses in body text, which had a ridiculously long original request title and was accidentally moved to WP:US/L by me. Oops!
• An easily configurable script to add a link to the #p-vector-user-menu-overflow portlet with a name, target, and icon. This one should be a relatively easier one. I would do it myself, but I'm too busy rotting away on Celeste (video game).
• Preview an edit under the mobile viewport on desktop, with perhaps MediaWiki:Gadget-mobile-sidebar.js used for inspiration.
• ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests. Jeeputer and Nardog have been the most active on the page in the past five months.

Updated scripts

[edit]

• After the ＲＩＩＪ(rewrite it in jQuery) update, Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin has a dismiss button that allows you to mark an item as read in one click and cycle to the next Watchlist item.
• Lordseriouspig/StatusChangerImproved is just like Enterprisey's script, except you select your status from a dropdown instead of cycling through them with a button. The WMF operates out of car-centric infrastructure anyway. Shame!

Newly maintained scripts

[edit]

• Aaron Liu has created Duplinks from Evad37/duplinks-alt; his fork adds a config variable to automatically highlight duplicate links on the loading of any page where the portlet link would've appeared.
• BilledMammal/Move+ expands the powers of User:TheTVExpert/rmCloser to include common procedures done with the art of moving pages.
• On a holiday? Somewhere? Gotta learn ye ABCs? CanonNi/StatusSetter puts the fun into Enterprisey/StatusChanger with a quadruple more statuses. That starts with a C!
• In our continuing trend(s?), DaxServer/DiscussionCloser forks DannyS712/DiscussionCloser to make it work. Sadly, this is the end of our lexicographic combo.
• Andrybak:
  • user-tabs-on-contribs is a fork of User:Enterprisey/user-tabs-on-contribs for Vector 2022.
  • Archiver is a fork of User:Enterprisey/archiver with automatic calculation of the destination archive subpage and with support for non-Vector skins.
• Quite coincidentally, Elli/OneClickArchiver has been forked from User:Equazcion/OneClickArchiver to work with the mw:Heading HTML changes.
• FlightTime/OneClickArchiver forks the same thing but also no longer nonsensically prepends {{clear}} to page archives.
  • There are now over 7 OneClickArchivers, legacy or not.

New scripts

[edit]

• 

  Aaron Liu: MoveTop adds a different padlock topicon for each level of move-protection.
• Andrybak/Not around can help you mark talk pages of inactive users with {{not around}}.
• BrandonXLF/AddCopied automatically tags talk pages of pages you've copied between with {{copied}}.
• Bugghost/UserRoleIndicator adds text labels (which default to emoji) to user links that label the user's usergroups. Wow, that's a mouthful
• CanonNi/AlertAssistant adds a Twinkle-style dialog for alerting users about contentious topics.
• CFA/AttributeTranslation automatically tags articles translated from other places with appropriate attribution.
• In the defense of the 'pedia, the humble Jeeputer/defconIndicator adds the WP:WIKIDEFCON status to the toolbar.
• Tired of staring at a bunch of filtering text and waiting for darn filter logs to load? Msz2001/AbuseFilter analyzer can parse abuse filters into a visual syntax tree and evaluate locally on-demand!
• Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences finds references with the same link and displays the number of them along with a button to add the {{duplicated citations}} tag under the references section. Being lazy has never been easier!
• fastest gun on the net Ponor/really-quick-block really quick add to contribution lists three buttons awesome
• TheTechie/Help Me Tool is a quick and easy way of responding to {{help me}} requests.
• Per MOS:CONFORM, ZKang123/TitleCaseConverter converts all citation titles to... title case, unfortunately.
