<div style="border: solid 1px #FCC; background-color: #F8EEBC; padding: 0.5em 1em; color: #000; margin: 1.5em; width: 90%;"> 50px|left ↗Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation ↗ has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time.<nowiki> </nowiki>The reason left by RandomCanadian was:

{{divbox|gray|3=Submission is not of the standard one would expect from an encyclopedia entry (even a bare minimum stub article). There are many obvious errors (for example, the use of the term "movement" is incorrect), nonsense (how is "Fuga II is noted as the only published piece of Chopin's work that doesn't have an octave doubling in it" when this is a work by Mendelssohn?), misrepresentation of sources (source no. 2 does not mention "discipline", nor even the subject of this article), shoddy writing (the whole of the lead), and a lack of actual encyclopedic content beyond a mere listing of the pieces.

IMSLP is not a reliable source, as it is user-generated content ↗. Individual editions there may be used as primary sources, with the usual caution of WP:PRIMARY ↗, but the rest of the information it contains should be traced back to more reputable sources if possible.

The master's thesis is at best a dubious source (given the usual concerns, see the relevant paragraph at WP:SCHOLARSHIP ↗) given it does not seem to have had any significant impact (no citations on google scholar; nor does the author seem to be an influential figure). A good idea might be to look at the sources cited in the thesis, to see if these discuss these pieces in sufficient detail.

Allmusic is just a database and should be replaced with more serious scholarly works if at all possible.

Looking in databases like RILM or repositories like JSTOR might be more productive.|}} Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit ''when they have been resolved''.

'''Future changes'''

A change that was announced ↗ last year was delayed. It is now ready to move ahead:

* The user group <code>oversight</code> will be renamed <code>suppress</code>. This is for technical reasons ↗. This is the technical name. It doesn't affect what you call the editors with this user right on your wiki. This is planned to happen in three weeks. You can comment in Phabricator ↗ if you have objections. As usual, these labels can be translated on translatewiki (direct links are available ↗) or by administrators on your wiki.

You can now prevent specific images that are used in a page from appearing in other locations, such as within PagePreviews or Search results. This is done with the markup <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>class=notpageimage</nowiki></code></bdi>.

Previously, all newcomers assigned to the mentor were visible on the dashboard, even ones without any edit or ones who made hundred of edits. Mentors can still change these values using the filters on their dashboard. Also, the last choice of filters will now be saved. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T301268 ↗https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T294460 ↗

'''Problems'''

The recent change to the HTML of tracking changes ↗ pages caused some problems for screenreaders. This is being fixed. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T298638 ↗

'''Changes later this week'''

12px|link=|alt=|Recurrent item ↗ The new version ↗ of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from {{#time:j xg|2022-03-01|en}}. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from {{#time:j xg|2022-03-02|en}}. It will be on all wikis from {{#time:j xg|2022-03-03|en}} (calendar ↗).

'''Future changes'''

Working with templates will become easier. Several improvements ↗ are planned for March 9 on most wikis and on March 16 on English Wikipedia. The improvements include: Bracket matching, syntax highlighting colors, finding and inserting templates, and related visual editor features.

If you are a template developer or an interface administrator, and you are intentionally overriding or using the default CSS styles of user feedback boxes (the classes: <code dir=ltr>successbox, messagebox, errorbox, warningbox</code>), please note that these classes and associated CSS will soon be removed from MediaWiki core. This is to prevent problems when the same class-names are also used on a wiki. Please let us know by commenting at phab:T300314 ↗ if you think you might be affected.

Disambiguation link notification for March 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Massacre of Tamines ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Civic Guard ↗. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:07, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation ↗: Housing in North Dakota ↗ (March 21)

Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time.<nowiki> </nowiki>The reason left by DoubleGrazing was:

{{divbox|gray|3=This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article ↗—that is, they do not show ''significant'' coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in ''published'', ''reliable'' ↗, ''secondary'' ↗ sources that are ''independent ↗'' of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help ↗ and learn about mistakes to avoid ↗ when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.|}} The comment the reviewer left was:

{{divbox|blue|3=None of the sources cited discuss the concept of 'housing in ND' per se; therefore notability is not established (and IMO this is borderline OR by synthesis ↗).

Perhaps this subject would be better covered as a section in the main North Dakota ↗ article?

Jan Strand

Earlier this year, you undid an edit ↗ on Jan Strnad ↗ by an editor who was purporting to be the subject... and was. It's an understandable instinct, due to lack of reference, COI concerns, and uncertainty whether it was really the subject posting. However, in reverting the edit due to a concern over unsourced BLP material, you managed to reinsert a birth date that was not only unsourced, but also according to the subject, inaccurate. (You can see him noting the inaccuracy in the comments under this Facebook post ↗.) Could you kindly review your reversion, and either restore the date he put or, better yet, remove the birth date altogether until a source can be found? (I'd take care of it myself, but I'm trying to maintain a retirement from article editing.) --Nat Gertler (talk) 04:33, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

20px|alt=Featured script|This month's featured script ↗ Featured script

: '''''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" ↗.

20px|alt=Updated scripts|Updated ↗ Updated scripts

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.

20px ↗ Improve a script

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:BROKENREF ↗s, preferably a fork/addition to User:TheJJJunk/ARA
:* ...a fix/fork of User:DannyS712/SectionRemover.js to make it work

20px|alt=Pending requests ↗ Requested scripts

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 deletion ↗s

Mass patrol new pages by a user for use in WP:RFP/A ↗

...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests ↗

20px|alt=New scripts|New ↗ New scripts

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 {{T|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 {{key press|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 support ↗s 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 <nowiki><code></nowiki>) 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! ↗ <span style="color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: inherit;">Aaron Liu</span> ↗ (talk) 13:24, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 24th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter ↗, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since {{#formatdate:2021-12-24|dmy}}. Uh-huh, we're finally covering the good ones among the rest! Aren't you excited? Remember to include a link in double brackets to the script's .js page when you install the script, so that we can see who uses the script in WhatLinksHere!

20px ↗ Featured script

: '''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.

20px ↗ Newly maintained scripts

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

Aaron Liu has created What redirects here ↗ from Guarapiranga/WhatRedirectsHere; {{their|Aaron Liu}} 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.

20px ↗ Improve a script

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 tool to automatically fix CAT:BROKENREF ↗s, preferably a fork/addition to TheJJJunk/ARA
:* ...a fix/fork of DannyS712/SectionRemover to make it work

20px ↗ Requested scripts

A simple script to second or archive proposed deletion ↗s

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 ↗

20px ↗ New scripts

DannyS712/AbuseFilterMessageLinks add links to the "warn" and "disallow" messages in edit filter ↗s.

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!

frameless|right ↗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.

right|frameless ↗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.

right|frameless ↗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.

frameless|right ↗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=

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 {{Phab|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=

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 [ {{preload|Template talk:Signpost/Crossword cell|reply|User:Aaron Liu/insomnium}} ] link with 💬, which is some sort of rainy cloud I guess?{{jokes}}

frameless|right ↗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 {{key press|Tab}} toggle the visibility of the tiny [ {{preload|Template talk:Signpost/Crossword cell|edit|User:Aaron Liu/insomnium}} ] 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!=

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

right|frameless ↗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=

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 {{Button|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 {{tl|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!

20px ↗ Featured script

: '''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 ↗...

20px ↗ Improve a script

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!

20px ↗ Requested scripts

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.

20px ↗ Updated scripts

After the <ruby>ＲＩＩＪ<rp>(</rp><rt>rewrite it in jQuery ↗</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby> 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!

20px ↗ Newly maintained scripts

Aaron Liu has created Duplinks from Evad37/duplinks-alt; {{their|Aaron Liu}} 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 {{tl|clear}} to page archives.

* There are now over 7 OneClickArchivers, legacy or not ↗.

20px ↗ New scripts

thumb|Padlock for semi−move protection−designed by User:Chaotic Enby ↗ 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 {{tl|not around}}.

BrandonXLF/AddCopied automatically tags talk pages of pages you've copied between with {{tl|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 {{tl|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 {{tl|help me}} requests.

Per MOS:CONFORM ↗, ZKang123/TitleCaseConverter converts all citation titles to... title case, unfortunately.

20px ↗ Featured script

:Very useful for changelist patrollers, '''DiffUndo''', by '''Nardog''', is this edition's featured script. Taking inspiration from WP:AutoWikiBrowser ↗'s double-click-to-undo feature, it adds an undo button to every line of every diff from "show changes", optimizing partial reverts with your favorite magic spell and nearly fulfilling m:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Partial revert undo ↗.

Doğu/Adiutor, a recent WP:Twinkle ↗/WP:RedWarn ↗-like userscript that follows modern WMF UI design, is now an extension ↗. However, its sole maintainer has left the project, which still awaits WMF mw:code stewardship ↗ (among some audits) to be installed on your favorite WMF wikis.

DannyS712, our former chief editor, has ascended to MediaWiki ↗ and the <s>greener</s> <ins>purpley</ins> pastures of PHP ↗ with commits creating Special:NamespaceInfo ↗ and the <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext">__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__</syntaxhighlight> magic word to exclude a template from Special:UnusedTemplates ↗! I wonder if Wikipedia has a templaters' newsletter...

20px ↗ Improve a script

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 and PrimeHunter/Search sort work, yet have alien user interface design ↗. Someone could improve them...

BilledMammal/Move+ needs updating to order list of pages handle lists of pages to move correctly regardless of the discussion's page, so that we may avoid repeating fiasco history ↗.

20px ↗ Requested scripts

We need scripts that...

allow you to edit {{tl|sfn}} references graphically a la Ingenuity/ReferenceEditor ↗

copy specific named references from other pages to help with splitting and whatnot

make adding icons/links to the top toolbar (or other portlets) much easier

graphically generate a {{tl|source assess table}}

award a Four Award ↗

...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests ↗. Thanks to the editors at US/R—including Nardog, User:Novem Linguae, User:Jeeputer, and many more!—for their work in processing userscript requests this past year.

20px ↗ Updated scripts

Andrybak/Unsigned helper forks Anomie/unsignedhelper to add support for binary search, automatic edit summaries after generating the {{tl|unsigned}} template, support for {{tl|undated}}, and support for generating while syntax highlighting is on.

Pour one out: DreamRimmer/User not around forks Andrybak/Not around to allow configuration precise to a number of days (from the original precision of years).

Red-tailed hawk/cv revdel forks Enterprisey/cv-revdel to automatically add CopyPatrol reports.

Polygnotus/Move+ updates BilledMammal's classic Move+ to add automattic watchlisting of all pages—except the target page(s)—changed while processing a move.

20px ↗ Newly maintained scripts

Administrators only! Novem Linguae/UnblockReview forks the now-broken Enterprisey/unblock-review to review unblock requests with a graphical interface.

20px ↗ New scripts

1AmNobody24: Find Link provides a shortcut to its namesake tool, Edward/Find link, which helps de-WP:ORPHAN ↗ articles.

frameless|right ↗Andrybak: Contribs ranger (''pictured'') generates links to a limited range of user contributions ↗, log items, or page history. You see, it's not just contribs ↗!

CanonNi/VoteVisualizer is a rewrite of Pythoncoder/voteSymbols that makes everything saner to configure.

When viewing :Category:Articles missing coordinates with coordinates on Wikidata ↗, Jeeputer/coordInserter adds links to automatically insert coordinates into the article selected.

To satiate archaeology and curiosity (the same thing, perhaps?), JJPMaster/AfC time logger logs the time it takes for a user to review each submission to Wikipedia:Articles for creation ↗.

Natdog/InsertAnyChar adds a searchable list of all Unicode characters to the 2010 source editor.

Concern regarding Draft:Youth drinking ↗

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, MrMeAndMrMe. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Youth drinking ↗, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted ↗, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it ↗ again or request ↗ that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted ↗ so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 17:07, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Youth drinking ↗

48px|left|alt=|link= ↗

Hello, MrMeAndMrMe. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation ↗ submission or draft ↗ page you started, "Youth drinking ↗".

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|Draft:Youth drinking|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}}, {{tlc|db-draft}}, or {{tlc|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.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia!  DreamRimmer bot II (talk) 17:24, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 27th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter ↗, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 2025! Boy, does it feel good to kick off the year with an issue. Yep, it's been a year since we cleared out the 2022-2024 backlog with issues 23 and 24! Good times. <small>Though in this case "a year" just means... 6 months? 😯 The salience of whatever joke I was planning to make here has vanished speedily.</small> <span class="skin-invert" style="color:#0645ad">Aaron Liu</span> (talk) 21:00, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

20px ↗ Featured script

: '''WikiTextExpander''' by '''Polygnotus ↗''', is this edition's featured script. At the click of a configurable hotkey, this script will find and replace or link a configurable list of phrases within the selected text in all source editors (even in the comment/reply field!). Besides allowing the quick insertion of templated messages, this script greatly mitigates the WP:WTF? ↗ problem by providing both the legibility of familiar words and the convenience of shortcuts. And to those asking, the capitalization of "Wikitext ↗" as "WikiText" was a necessary sacrifice for far-more-memorable acronymy.

20px ↗ Updated scripts

CanonNi: AlertAssistant has been fixed and rewritten using OOUI instead of Twinkle's Morebits. Such modern, very tool. (Do note that the maintainer has since become inactive.)

NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader has been updated to use modern JS APIs that replace the browser's URL bar with the link you clicked on to load in place. The "back" (and "forward") buttons also work now. Cool, innit?

My prayers have been... answered? DreamRimmer/Search sort is a fork of PrimeHunter/Search sort that makes the 11 portlet links much smaller and nicer to look at.

andrybak: Unsigned helper no longer shows an error when the message to sign was added in the earliest 50 revisions of a page's history. This is especially relevant to pages with short histories.

20px ↗ Newly maintained scripts

Cyberdog958/Superlinks finally fixes the famous Bradv/Superlinks to work with Vector 2022!

20px ↗ Requested scripts

We need scripts that...

allow sorting lists of citations {{tq|such as by URI or other identifier}}

automatically convert the capitalization of citations' titles

collect a list of discussion participants and generate a ping list

automate starting merge discussions

...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests ↗

20px ↗ Miscellaneous

In breaking m:Tech/News ↗, {{tq|Gadgets can now include <code>.vue</code> files. This makes it easier to develop modern user interfaces using Vue.js ↗, in particular using Codex ↗, the official design system of Wikimedia. Codex icons ↗ are now also available. The documentation ↗ has examples.}}

{{columns-end}}

20px ↗ New scripts

Appo/Globstory integrates OpenHistoryMap ↗, updating the map whenever hovering/clicking on a location or year, the latter of which changes the map to be (hopefully) accurate to the year selected. It's pretty interesting.

frameless|right|upright=0.5|linkinfo ↗ Somewhat similar to WP:NavPops ↗, Awesome Aasim/linkinfo ''(pictured)'' provides a collection of links to replace the right-click context menu, presented beautifully.

Chaotic Enby/Recent Unblock Highlighter is the #1 WP:ROPE ↗ dispensary of the year. Admins exclusive, naturally.

Chew/HighlightQuotes: Makes all text between double quotes have a yellow background. Shiny.

Daniel Quinlan/RangeHelper allows you to treat IP ranges as users and calculate the smallest range that contains specific addresses IP.

Dbeef/C+ allows CheckUsers to generate a {{tl|sock list}} from the Special:CheckUser ↗ page. Its checkboxes make this task hassle-free.

DreamRimmer ↗ has been working at it with the state-of-the-art Vue.js mw:Codex ↗ UI lately!

* /CHUHelper and /EFFPRH reply to username-change and edit-filter requests, respectively.

* /DraftNoCat deactivates the categories on a draft article. Dogs are better, really.

* frameless|right|EasySubpage ↗ /EasySubpage ''(pictured)'' creates subpages... easily!

* TBanHelper warns you when your current page's title contains certain namespaces or keywords, sternly.

DVRTed/multiContribs provides an aggregate view of the contributions of multiple users and a link at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations ↗ to automatically activate it with all users in a sockpuppet category.

Edit7hesadparts/linkColorRandomizer turns your links rainbowy.

Macaw*/noRefListAlert alerts you when the list of references is missing.

Polygnotus ↗

* /DetectPromo is an interesting alternative to the classic Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable, though of course the word list is somewhat different, you'll see.

* /DiscussionToolsDrafts gives you a centralized page to see automatically-saved DiscussionTools reply drafts, just like EditRecovery ↗.

* PreviousDiscussions provides a link to search for your username on subpages of another user's userpage and talkpage conveniently.

Twineeea/noRedLinks brings you to the "read" instead of the "create" tab when you visit a red link. Contemplate life's mysteries as you stare into the blank! Deeply.

No, this is not going to be the enduring tradition of S++ for the future. This was meant to be a joke for the special occasion on the first day of the fourth month but was delayed by four months because I'm lazy.

Proposed deletion ↗ of :Dudley Willis Rockwell ↗

left|link=|alt=Notice|48px| ↗

The article :Dudley Willis Rockwell ↗ has been proposed for deletion ↗ because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''Notability not indicated. The sources are primarily obituaries, some of it copied and pasted directly. I searched for other sources but couldn't find anything.'''</blockquote>

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary ↗ or on the article's talk page ↗.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process ↗, but other deletion process ↗es exist. In particular, articles for deletion ↗ allows discussion to reach consensus ↗ for deletion based on established criteria ↗.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion ↗ of the article at any time. Hawksquill (talk) 02:22, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
