Feedback on QuickEdit
editHello BrandonXLF! I've been using your QuickEdit user scripts for quite some time (and am loving it)! I could not see myself editing without it now :P. I just had a thought that could help make it even "quicker". How about having CTRL+Enter automatically do the "Save" action, just as it does in the normal editing in "Publish Changes"? Thanks so much! Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 15:52, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Cocobb8 I added an access key for the letter "s" to trigger the save button. – BrandonXLF (talk) 07:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Restorer script bug
editHello! I am a rollbacker from Kazakh Wikipedia. Today I created "User:Nurtenge/common.js" and "User:Nurtenge/Restorer.js" pages and I got a "Restore" button on Kazakh Wikipedia. But... There are TWO "Restore" buttons! They both perform the same task, but there are two of them and it looks ugly. How can I fix this error? Nurtenge (talk) 15:56, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Nurtenge, can you share a URL of a history page where both buttons appear. Thanks, – BrandonXLF (talk) 06:21, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, I figured it out, it's not a bug, it is my bad :) I created this page on Meta and created this page on Kazakh Wikipedia. In Meta-Wiki, I used your JavaScript on English Wikipedia, and on Kazakh Wikipedia I created my own JavaScript page where I wrote some English words in Kazakh. Your JavaScript code gave me a restore button on all wikis. And my JavaScript code translated into Kazakh gave me a restore button only on Kazakh Wikipedia. Therefore, on Kazakh Wikipedia I now have two restore buttons :) Thank you!
- By the way, it would be cool if you added the ability to write a reason for restoring the page version -- Nurtenge (talk) 16:51, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
HotDefaultSort: Avoid auto saving by holding Ctrl?
editIn HotCat, if you hold Ctrl when clicking "OK", category changes won't auto save letting you make other edits (see Wikipedia:HotCat#Avoid auto saving). Is it possible with the script HotDefaultSort? 2001:14BA:9C40:0:48C8:91BB:9341:38BB (talk) 21:12, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- No it is not currently. Can you explain your use case for such a feature? – BrandonXLF (talk) 07:19, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 25
editHey 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) 04:00, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
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 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.
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.
