Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 26
Hello everyone, and welcome to the 26th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 August 2024. OPTIONAL FLAVOR TEXT ~~~ ~~~~~
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!
Featured script
- , by , is this edition's featured script. LONGER DESCRIPTION
Updated scripts
- Andrybak/Unsigned helper forks Anomie/unsignedhelper to add support for binary search, automatic edit summaries after generating the {{unsigned}} template, support for {{undated}}, and support for generating while syntax highlighting is on. It still doesn't include support for the 2017 wikitext editor or the visual editor.
- Administrators only! Novem Linguae/UnblockReview forks the now-broken Enterprisey/unblock-review to review unblock requests with a graphical interface.
- Pour one out: DreamRimmer/User not around forks Andrybak/Not around to allow configuration precise to an amount of days (from the original precision of years).
- Red-tailed hawk/cv revdel forks Enterprisey/cv-revdel to automatically add CopyPatrol reports.
Newly maintained scripts
- MOVED SCRIPT 1
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 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.
Requested scripts
- A tool to automatically fix CAT:BROKENREFs, preferably a fork/addition to TheJJJunk/ARA
- A fix/fork of DannyS712/SectionRemover to make it work
- PENDING REQUEST 1
- ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests
Miscellaneous
- DannyS712, our former chief editor, has ascended to MediaWiki and the
greenerpurpley pastures of PHP with commits to create Special:NamespaceInfo and the__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__magic word to exclude a template from Special:UnusedTemplates! I wonder if Wikipedia has a templaters' newsletter...
New scripts
- SCRIPT 1
- AUTHOR WITH MULTIPLE SCRIPTS
- AUTHOR'S SCRIPT 1
- 1AmNobody24: Find Link provides a shortcut to its namesake tool, Edward/Find link, which helps de-WP:ORPHAN articles.
- Andrybak: Contribs ranger generates links to a limited set (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, User: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.
- User:Nardog
- /DiffUndo allows you to double click lines of the "show changes" view to drop that change.
- /InsertAnyChar adds a searchable list of all Unicode characters to the 2010 source editor.
