I see even setting admin tools to true, admin tools (like "block") when overing over User: links are gone. Was this intentional? Any other way to enable it? -- ( ☺drini♫| ☎) 04:31, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
For some reason, my popups arent giving me the fancy options I installed them for (edit / un|watch / etc). My browser (IE on WinXP) is giving an error on Line 1, Char 51, "';' expected". Any idea what this could be? TIA! The Minister of War 09:47, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Its definitely working better, though there is still an error. Its on line 2343, char 3, Error: not implemented. Also, another error is line 2302, char 3, Error: 'keyCode is null or not an object'. I've never done any debugging, but i'll see what i can do. The Minister of War 10:18, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
Great tool! BTW, although the description says "Currently works on en.wikipedia.org, commons.wikimedia.org and (probably) en.wiktionary.org" , I installed the tool on my user subpage on ja.wikipedia and it works quite well. However, now I'm afraid if there was any problem (legal or technical) to use the tool on other languages... no? - Marsian / talk 07:19, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
Is there a setting to change the default edit summary message for popup assisted disambiguation edits? I'd like to use the disambiguation project message: "disambiguation link repair ( You can help!)" Gimboid13 20:00, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
It'd be useful - on non-English Wikipedias the message shouldn't be in English and shouldn't contain the there-invalid link to this page. / tsca ✉ 17:16, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Is there some way for me to disable popups when I'm using certain browsers? I like the popups on most browsers, but with Safari they don't work right (the menus are obscured so you can't see what you're clicking, and they don't go away when you move the mouse elsewhere). -- TreyHarris 17:56, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('safari') == -1) { // [[User:Lupin/popups.js]] - please include this line document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:Lupin/popups.js' + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>'); }
This is a great tool, by the way. I love it.
One comment on its usage: I've come across a couple of users bypassing lots of redirects using this tool. I don't think we should bypass redirects, as it's of little value (both get to the same page), and it clutters up the Wikicode. For example, [[SHA-1]] is easier to read than [[SHA hash functions|SHA-1]]. There are quite a few benefits from keeping the WikiCode as clean and simple as possible, namely that it's less threatening for new Wikipedia editors, and it's easier to read and edit even for experienced editors. — Matt Crypto 10:43, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Agreed - redirects should not be bypassed. If the article being redirected to is split, all the links now point to the wrong place. On the other hand, when an article is moved, it specifically says to check for double redirects, AND we have automated detection of double redirects. -- SPUI ( talk) 00:16, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Not to add to a dead discussion but the reason for avoiding linking to redirects is the reduction of extra load on the servers. If a link is sent through an extra redirect it adds extra requests for the servers to handle. This, spread across thousands of such links is very bad. - Localzuk (talk) 21:55, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey Lupin, and thank you for this wonderful tool ! I've just copied it on the French Wikipedia, and beginning to translate the interface. My question is : when you update it, is there a way to know it, and to get a new version while keeping the translated bits ? Thank you, le Korrigan bla 22:22, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
How can I change the edit summary given when I fix a redirect? Matt Yeager 03:59, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Is it possible to use this on another wiki unrelated to Wikipedia? And if so, is it alright if I do? Of course, I'd assume that the actual conversion would fall into my own hands, and updating would be my responsibility after that point. = FaxCelestis 06:46, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Attempting to disambiguate the minesweeper link on Blohm & Voss BV 138 causes Popups to load the wrong page. I assume this is related to & being a reserved character in HTML. I'm not sure if this is a bug in the script or whether the article just shouldn't have that title. Just lettering you know. Soo 16:16, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
Has anyone else got this working on Firefox 1.5? I installed popups on my userspace but it seems to have no effect -- Mistress Selina Kyle ( Α⇔Ω ¦ ⇒✉) 22:49, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Do you by any chance know what options are necessary for this kind of Javascript to work on a non-WikiMedia MediaWiki, or do you know who might know? I have a MediaWiki 1.6a installed at an undisclosed location, and instead of the normal /monobook.js with the message about cache-clearing at the top and all content spacing-preserved, monobook.js gets treated as an ordinary page. Since the URL provided in the script is absolute, presumably it should work from anywhere, so I assume it's a server-side problem.
Also, I presume you don't mind that I'm using your script outside Wikimedia where you can't see it. :) — Simetrical ( talk • contribs) 06:30, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I think there's a problem with the option:

When you click on a link at the bottom of the popup window, it automatically clicks "Show Changes" instead of the "Save" button. -- King of Hearts | (talk) 00:22, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
The disambig tool also wipes out bookmarks, if present ( example). Is this the intended behaviour?
Also, the tool wouldn't fix a link in the wikipedia namespace -- it appeared to effect an edit, but in fact did nothing at all. Here's an example of a fix it wouldn't make, which I did manually instead. Apparently it's confused by the namespace qualifier. Cleduc 03:07, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

I get an "unresponsive script" warning when loading Wikipedia:Reference desk/Science. I am using Firefox 1.5 on Windows XP. I think popups are probably the cause since commenting out the popups code in monobook.js stops the warning.-- Commander Keane 10:15, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

this is creating worse-than-useless churn on pages, because it makes it look like the incorrect spelling was intentional. Please, somebody do something about this, it's driving me crazy, especially since it takes editors using Popups seconds to do damage on large numbers of pages that takes me hours to fix. -- TreyHarris 21:18, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Ok, you sold me—make it an optional feature with the default turned off. Is there anywhere to put some text about when to properly use the feature if you turn it on, so that we don't have more misspelling redirects in the future? Thanks for being so reasonable about this. -- TreyHarris 00:19, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
How do you revert using Popups? Do you have to be an admin? ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 04:11, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
The "Air National Guard Installations" section of the List of U.S. Air Force bases article was poorly wikified, with the city and state set as separate links. When I attempt to disambiguate the cities, Popups (BTW, a great tool!!) often does not show the links I am looking for. As an example, on Port Clinton, it gives you the option to disambiguate to Pennsylvania or United States, but not the actual city links of Port Clinton, Ohio or Port Clinton, Pennsylvania. Same thing for Bangor (Maine), Westfield (Massachusetts), Burlington (Vermont), and many, many more. Is this a feature (aka I am not using it correctly) or a bug? Thanks, Kralizec! 14:31, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
I just realized that this tool could be ultimate asset to stub sorters if it was able ti indicate which stub template is in use on a page. Is that possible? Circeus 17:10, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Edit summaries are for summarizing edits, not for promoting software (see Wikipedia:Edit summary). Would someone please remove the " Popups-assisted . . ." from the beginning of the summary line, or at the very least move it to a short link at the end? — Michael Z. 2006-01-22 20:40 Z
For what it's worth, I hereby retract any concern I have on this matter. My watchlist is now also flooded with lines such as " AWB assisted clean up + reduce overlinking", and I expect there will be others, so there's no point in Popups not using its old " Popups-assisted…", too. ¦ Reisio 22:46, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Lately, I've only seen edit summaries ending with "...using popups" on my watchlist. I don't know if this is because the software has been updated, or because some users have changed their settings, but it's a great improvement. They don't interfere with reading the watchlist at all. Sincerely, thanks for responding to my concern.
(But I am now finding "AWB assisted...". Time to leave a comment over there.) — Michael Z. 2006-02-20 04:59 Z
Lupin, thank you. I thought you would appreciate this: http://community.livejournal.com/wikipedians/69759.html
It prompted me to come here and ask a question. I have a feeling the answer is the many-times-above-mentioned "too much server overhead", and if so, alas, so be it.
However, I simply must ask if it's possible to provide an actual mini-diff in the preview box if I hover over a "(diff)" or "(last)" link -- an answer to "what was this edit?". Ideally it would provide the entire diff if it's a small edit (less than, say, 50 characters?), and some other kind of feedback if it's something bigger. It would be brilliant to be able to scan my watchlist or a related changes page or a page history and not bother clicking the diffs that end up being "removed a comma" or "added a category" just to make sure it's not vandalism. (Yes, yes, I know, everyone should be using informative edit summaries -- they don't. And smart vandals lie anyway.)
So is it possible? Please? Pretty please? I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be the only one who would worship the ground you walk on.... — Catherine\ talk 07:04, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I've been trying this out for about fifteen minutes, and now I need to know which part of the world cpntains the ground you walk on, so I can point my worship in the proper direction!

strings-en.js file. However, most times I include only the editor name in a summary, not the timestamp or revision ID, so it would be useful to pick just %s

Eddi (

The extended reversion summary only works on history pages, so I wonder if the time stamp is just grabbed from the history page. If it is, the information may be ambiguous because the user settings of date format and time zone are not considered. I noticed that this reversion summary didn't give the UTC time but rather the same time as the history page, which is my local time. -- Eddi ( Talk) 04:14, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
popupTimeOffset=1
and the next to last doesn't. But, as you say, it may be more sensible to subtract than add, so that the offset option corresponds directly to the respective time zone. --

There's some discussion over at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(disambiguation_pages)#Wikipedia:Disambiguation_and_abbreviations regarding some changes being made to certain disambuation templates. It seems one particular user has introduced some new templates Template:2LC, Template:3LC and Template:4LC and has apparently launched a bot to replace the current disambiguation templates on all the 2, 3, and 4 character disambuation pages. It breaks Popups' disambiguation features for sure. I don't know what else it may be breaking. Ewlyahoocom 14:58, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Popups are extremely useful on Recent Changes to check out diffs. I mouse over the "(diff)" link and the diffs come up. However, it works for a while and then stops working. I need to reload the page to get it to work again. Anyone else having this? -- Spaceman85 17:58, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
The since me feature doesn't seem to work if your last edit isn't on the first page of the history. The problem appears to be in the getHistory function. It should use a while loop to download all the history pages and return them cocatenated together. Superm401 - Talk 19:30, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Pop up appears automatically when hovering over an highlighted link in the textarea. however, if the link is deleted after the pop-up has appeared, it appears that the pop-up stays inplace no matter what.

I'm running Opera 8.51 and I just installed this tool. After a few minutes of usage Opera just crashes on me. I haven't even done anything with it; I just use the popups to go to say, the talk page; I haven't done any reverting or any of that sort yet. But it has crashed 3 times just 3-4 minutes after i begin using it. What other details should I include in describing this problem? - Hbdragon88 05:12, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

The following javascript is more standard and conforms to XML and XHTML standards.
var obj = document.createElement("script"); obj.type = "text/javascript"; obj.src = " http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:Lupin/popups.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"; document.getElementsByTagName("head").item(0).appendChild(obj);
For use in {{ navpop}}. -- infinity 0 19:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Similarly, this is more standard than the current document.write() in Lupin's popups.js
var npcss = document.createElement("style"); npcss.rel = "stylesheet"; npcss.type = "text/css"; npcss.href = " http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:Lupin/navpop.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css&dontcountme=s"; document.getElementsByTagName("head").item(0).appendChild(npcss);
Intended to replace the "import stylesheets" part. -- infinity 0 19:26, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
The W3C recommends using DOM node methods to manipulate pages instead of changing the source code using document.write(). The reason is becaues XML parsers use nodes to display objects and it's easier for them. If the document is sent as XML+XHTML, then document.write() and object.innerHTML fail to work. It's just me being pedantic, but in the future all browsers may be XML-based, and these type of scripts will no longer work.
It should work in IE6 and Konqueror... :S meh... What's the error? -- infinity 0 21:21, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Oh, silly of me. I forgot to change "script" to "style". It should work now. -- infinity 0 21:22, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
When hovering over a link near the lower part of my display, the popup opens such that most of it is below the viewable window, unlike other popups which seem to be aware of screen location and "flip" the popup above the cursor - the tool seems to be aware of the left and right sides of the display. Firefox 1.5. David 21:58, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
I have some problems. The first "%s" in the revert summary is date and not previous contributor's ip/user name. Is that legally to copie the code from " User:Lupin/popups.js" and create a own popups.js, only with this fix? I will create a own revert summary; "Revert to last version by %s using popups" (marked as minor edit). I can't javascript, so a simple description to what i must edit in the code in my own popups.js to fix this is welcome. Fdp 23:55, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Is this usable now? The dev version still has:
'defaultpopupExtendedRevertSummary': 'Revert to revision dated %s by %s, oldid %s using [[:en:Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation_popups|popups]]'

Popups seem to be working fine except for that I can't access the submenus. When I put the cursor over the 'actions' menu, it shows the menu, but if I move the cursor off the 'actions', the menu dissappears, meaning that I can't access any of the features. Perhaps some of my browsers settings are interfering? -- -Marcus- 18:11, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
In your insertDiff function, you use toLocaleString() to output a Date object. This is actually confusing because I've set all my other Wikipedia dates to use UTC time. Could you change it to toUTCString(), or at least provide this as an option? Superm401 - Talk 02:44, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, long time user, first time caller. OK not really, I've posted here before. Anyway, I've noticed a behaviour starting a few days/weeks ago that I'm not sure I like, wondering if others see it too. If I am editing an article and I place text containing a link ([[]]) in my cut buffer (because I deleted it or want to move it, etc). that link gets popped up. This can be disconcerting because it's in the way, and it isn't something I wanted. Worse, it freezes editing, so if I am furiously typing away, any keystrokes after the cntl-x or cntl-c are lost until I clear the popup away. Is this just me? Is it stoppable? I briefly looked at the options but may have missed one... or is this what popupOnEditSelection controls? Thanks. ++ Lar: t/ c 12:04, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I would say I'm mid-level at this stuff. I'm not a beginner, but I'm certainly nowhere near the complexity of this kind of thing. I saw the link to the overlib in the main article and I've wanted to add something like this to my own site. I'm just curious if there is some kind of modification I can make to that script (ie, I'm curious what method this script uses) to a) load the popup contents on demand, and b) not actually require any javascript function called in the href tag. Forgive me if it's a stupid quetsion. Thanks very much.
I think it would be nice if you had an option similar to the set summary for reverts and set summary prompt for reverts to add options to be able to set summary and summary prompt for dab fixes, redirect fixes, and link removals as well.

I expanded from only using a few of the base options to adding some of the extra options for edit summaries and it just broke my monobook.js. I've had to revert back (see my js file for current working version) but the ones I experimented with that broke the script and everything else suddenly were:
// [[User:Lupin/popups.js]] - please include this line document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:Lupin/popups.js' + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>'); popupAdminLinks=true; popupShortcutKeys=true; popupFixRedirs=true; popupFixDabs=true; popupRedlinkRemoval=true; popupRevertSummary=rvv; popupRevertSummaryPrompt=true; popupFixRedirsSummary=Redirect fixing per [[Wikipedia:Redirect]]; popupFixDabsSummary=[[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|Disambiguation]] repair; popupRedlinkSummary=Removing link to non existent page; };
Probably some way in which you implemented the new options or I did something that ended up being contradictory, either way any fix or way that I can fix it if it's an issue with my set of options would be appreciated. Pegasus1138 Talk | Contribs | Email ---- 04:02, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Out of curiosity, what is the use of adding a null edit to an entry, making no changes whatsoever to a wiki artile? Cowman109 Talk 22:53, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Can someone plz tell me why I only see a few lines of preview when I hover over a link. At the most its 10. Whereas the screenshot in Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation_popups shows about 20+. My options set in my monobook.js file are:
popupSubpopups=true; popupPreviews=true; simplePopups=false; popupImages=true; removeTitles=true; popupPreviewFirstParOnl=false;
I'm generally very happy with popups, it works nicely, even on the German WP. Thanks for that! However, in three cases out of 100+, popups made me restore vandalism rather than revert it, i.e. it reverted to the wrong version. Here they are: [16], [17], [18]. This happened when someone else was faster at reverting than I was. I hit 'revert' while seeing the diff between the last clean and the vandalized version. My configuration: Firefox 1.5.0.2 and XP Pro SP2, and, as you see, German WP. At that time, there was only popups in my monobook.js (I've now added godmode light for reverting).
It appears to me like popups doesn't go back to the (absolute) revision #foobar, but rather to the (relative) version "this-and-that-many edits back in time". This leads you into trouble, provided the revision history has changed in the meantime, and provided the software re-reads it before reverting. Note that among the three edits linked above, the first two go one step back in time, while the third one goes two steps back in time as intended, however ending up restoring the first vandal edit but not the second one. Hope that helps, -- DerHerrMigo 07:15, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello,
A small suggestion for your script who is very good : to see the notes when there are in the popup. For example, I was in a page, with notes [1], and when we point the cursor on this, the article appear, but it could be better with the note in the popup.
That was a small suggestion, because I saw it. Thank you for your script, it's very well.

Dear Lupin! I very much like your popups.js. It has a bug, though (at least it seems so on Nynorsk Wikipedia. Links containing letters A-Z works fine, but letters outside that rank (of which there are 3 in Norwegian, æøå), come up with the Latin 1 values of the two UTF-8 parts of each letter outside the ascii repertoire.

So for a while now, the diff display in AVT has not been coloring the added/removed text in red. Turns out this is because MediaWiki moved the CSS for diff display to a separate call to load.php, which is not loaded unless you're viewing an actual diff page.
To resolve this, and restore the red coloring in diffs in AVT, you can add the following CSS code to your common.css (or vector.css or whatever), with no linebreaks:
table.diff,td.diff-otitle,td.diff-ntitle{background-color:white}td.diff-otitle,td.diff-ntitle{text-align:center}td.diff-marker{text-align:right}td.diff-lineno{font-weight:bold}td.diff-addedline{background:#cfc;font-size:smaller}td.diff-deletedline{background:#ffa;font-size:smaller}td.diff-context{background:#eee;font-size:smaller}.diffchange{color:red;font-weight:bold;white-space:-moz-pre-wrap;white-space:pre-wrap;text-decoration:none}table.diff{border:none;width:98%;border-spacing:4px; table-layout:fixed}table.diff td{padding:0}table.diff col.diff-marker{width:2%}table.diff col.diff-content{width:48%}table.diff td div{ word-wrap:break-word; overflow:auto}

I noticed today that occasionally when I do a 'rollback' on Lupin the edit appears to save. I then leave a warning on the editors page if necessary. However today I found several times that my edit rollback wasn't the one that went through - it didn't report an edit conflict but it was another editor who made the correction and also left a warning on the users page. So there were 2 warnings for the single edit. I have since then taken to checking that it was my edit before leaving the warning but it seemed to be a new situation, not one there a few days ago... Can anyone comment?-- 🍺 Antiqueight confer 18:34, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Hey Lupin,
I have an idea for your amazing Anti-Vandal tool: Verify that different things are closed off, like quotations, apostrophes, perentheses, brackets, etc. For example, if you were quoting Homer (the Greek poet):
Homer is a Greek poet, who is well-known for writing poems. One of his poems (The Iliad starts off, "Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans.
People using your Anti-Vandal tool would receive a message on your Anti-Vandal page saying that there are an odd number of parentheses and quotations. The user would add a closed parenthesis after "Iliad" and add a quotation mark after "Achaeans".
Regarding possession (for example, "Newyorkadam's") there is correctly a single apostrophe. If you were to implement this idea, the checker would ignore apostrophes before or after an 's'.
Thanks!

As per some of the discussions above, I tried my hand at updating Lupin's tool to use the API instead of the RSS feed, but ran into several difficulties. Lupin wasn't very reliable at commenting his code, so it's hard to follow in places. Also, unlike the RSS feed, the API doesn't provide a mode that provides a list of recent changes along with diffs for each edit -- you have to download the list of changes, then download each diff individually to match against the badwords list, which completely screws with the flow of Lupin's code.
I decided it's basically easier to start over again, so I've re-implemented the basic functionality as Darkwind's Anti-Vandal Tool. It's still in a very early stage of development (the only mode currently is equivalent to "filter recent changes"), but it's usable, and I'd appreciate any feedback and/or suggestions you all may have. You can read more about it and get installation instructions at User:Darkwind/DAVT. — Darkwind ( talk) 05:45, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello Cacycle--
I sent an email to Lupin, but I do not think he will be responding any time soon.
I wanted to ask, how might I go about creating my own badwords list? I use the Filter Recent changes script almost every day, and would like to perform testing on a custom badwords list, without interfering with the general list used by others.
With proper attribution, would this be okay to do? I am not a programmer by trade, would it be as simple as copying the script to my user page and then changing the pointers for the badwords file?
Thank you for your time and any insight or assistance you may offer. Kind regards, Yamaguchi
Hi, in the script at User:Lupin/recent2.js, recent2.userIsSysop should include a check for whether the user is a rollbacker, because rollbackers can use admin rollback.

The spellchecker script disappeared from my Tools menu back around October 2019. But I use my own copy which I've tweaked to give better edit summaries, and to run for longer). Having reinstalled the original Lupin script into my commons.js file, the Tool is visible again on the left side of every page, but still will not function.
Superficially, Lupin's tool appears to run and report likely spelling errors, as normal. So...
However:
Example: Lupin reported the word 'particulary' as an error in in this version of an article. Clicking particulary in the report led to this editing page Note the absence of any correction, and the bold warning message, plus the edit summary stating: Correcting spelling: particulary->particularly

Shouldn't 'Recent IP edits' be implemented by adding an '&hideliu=1' to the 'feed' string, rather than by requesting all edits and then filtering out those whose editors match a RegExp?

Spent some time working on the list (as you can tell from the edit summary). Basically, instead of a straight alphabetical list, I made an attempt to categorize and prioritize it by level of offensiveness so that the most egregious vandals are more apparent when using the 'recent changes' tool. Also added quite a few phrases and sentence fragments based on the vandal patterns that I've been seeing. Hope it works out for everyone, and please let me know if I've either helped out or jacked something up. RJASE1 Talk 20:16, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
The punk string appears to me to be generating huge numbers of false positives, and I have yet to see it generate a true positive. IMHO the expression should be modified to only match punk with "asse" and perhaps "buc" (I'm not sure what the buc bit is for), so that fewer articles that are genuinely about punk rock are picked up. I don't know how the regular expressions work so I'm not sure what would be best. -- Jon186 13:23, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Some recent alterations made to the word list broke AVT's filter recent changes page. I'm not sure which specific change broke it (though I suspect it was the fairly major changes by Rocket000 ( t c)); but reverting to the Sept 29th version fixed the tool, and that's the important part. If you make changes to the word list, please double check that your changes didn't break the script—there are instructions at the top of the word list for forcing your browser to use the changes immediately. I'd suggest taking the time to make sure the script still works normally if you make a change, especially if you change a large number of entries all at once. -- Darkwind ( talk) 01:16, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

f\*
which will match any occurance of the letter f followed by an asterisk; otherwise, if you want something that matches the whole word, you can use f(\*)+(cked|ck|k|ed)?
, f(\*|u)+(cked|ck|k|ed)?
if you also want it to match non-censored versions, although in that case you have to set it to match word boundries or else you'll get every article talking about fudge or fuschia or fungus. If you also want it to catch words where the asterisks are omitted, you can use f(\*|u|ck)+(cked|ck|k|ed)?
(also requires word boundry matching). f(\*|u|k|ck|ed)+
does similar to the previous, but might have slightly more false positives.

I upgraded my Firefox browser a few days ago to 1.5.0.4. I'm really not sure which version I had prior to that (I think it was 1.0). Since then I've had some problems with the pop-ups. When the mouse hovers over some links (but not others), I get a "spinning beachball" (i.e., Mac) mouse cursor for a few seconds, followed by an error message:
If I click "Stop" it clears up after about a second and I'm on my merry way (for a while). This doesn't happen with every link, just some, and I can't tell why some links set it off and others don't.

Hi,
This is a bug report on "popups". This is the first time it happened eventhough I have been working with the same configuration for a long time. The bug is in the edit summary of this revert. FYI, I use Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4 on Windows XP SP2 with all available updates installed. The bug was not reproduced in next revert. — Ambuj Saxena ( talk) 16:34, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that Image:Yorkshire rose.png, was made in Inkscape (perhaps before MediaWiki adopted SVG support?). Do you still have the original source file? If so, being the vector fanatic that I am, I would like to request its upload. ~ Booya Bazooka 17:04, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Lupin. I've been using this tool, another great production by the way. I was wondering about the implications or practicalities of having some of the checkboxes either checked by default or having a cookie remember them? For instance the "Non Admin Rollback"?

Could you enlighten me how you got the popups to work on the secure.wikimedia HTTPS server. I use it and I'd like to adapt it to some of the scripts used by RC patrol and CVU members so the scripts don't hop between secure and insecure modes. Kevin_b_er 02:39, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Just to follow up the bug report I left here a few months ago, the latest nightly build of Safari works correctly with the 'menus' style of popups. This was noted by someone else at Navigation popups. Eventually, when this version is released, you may want to change the default behavior for Safari back to 'menus.' Thanks for a great tool!

Hi I just installed popups in my monobook, and I use Safari (2.0.4, b419.3) on OSX 10.4.8. No obvious issues for the moment, apart some heavy CPU loads when the script is apparently grabing images. Thanks for this great stuff. -- Cedric
I'm hoping this will be an easy, quick, "I can do that in my sleep" request for you: I'd like an addition for my monobook.js that will automatically check the "block anonymous users only" checkbox whenever I load Special:Blockip.

I have a tool to check the edits of an IP range and also to compare edits from one IP/user with another (and evenutally to compare IP ranges against a user), but when it parses the contribs data, I noticed that popups don't appear anymore, which is too bad because there are diff links on the page. It seems like whenever I use js to change a page, even just to number edits, popups are disabled. Is there a way to reconcile that? Thanks. Voice-of-All 23:18, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi, weird behavior was noted here - moving over the image shows a different image in the preview. Strange :) -- Yurik 18:36, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi Lupin, I really like your anti-vandal tool, I've been using it a lot. Just a minute ago, though, the "filter recent changes" page began coming up with all edits matching "the". I refreshed the page a couple of times, but the problem continues. Is this a bug? -- Grace 01:37, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
I've found that the "sinceMe" function never works for me. (It gives a msg box saying no matching edits found in last 50.) Since the msg lists my user name as "R._S._Shaw", it suggests that the problem may be blanks within the user name being converted to underscores, and then not matching the blanks in the history entries. I know there are many others besides myself that have userids with blanks in them. It'd be great if you could fix this sometime.

Hi,
I found that while I view an article's history, it shows edit time wrt local time (my personal settings). However, if I hover over "History" and let a popup come, it shows time in UTC. Can this be fixed to show time according to user's preference. — Ambuj Saxena ( talk) 14:47, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the script for changing the default options for the blocking of users -- Walter 20:59, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi Lupin. I've been doing a bit of reasearch on JavaScript recently and I thought I might suggest something:
Would it be possible for your to specify the event that triggers popups (currently onmouseover
) as a variable with a default value of onmouseover? That way, users could specify in their local .js what event(s) they'd like to use to trigger it. Personally, for example, I would only like to have popups at the combination of onmouseover
and a keystroke.
Is my suggestion possible? Ingoolemo talk 02:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
How about adding a feature to revert an arbitrary edit, as opposed to rolling back the current version to that edit. Example:
My suggestion is to add a "revert delta" item to the popup action menu for history browsing. You'd point the mouse at a version in the revision history. Popups would then do a 3-way diff between that version, the previous version, and the current version, and then edit the current version to undo the delta. If necessary, it could rely on a diff3 program running on the server or on the tool server. I shudder at the complex browser-side javascript in navpops and want to keep my hands out of it, but I could help with the server side if you think this is worthwhile. -- Phr ( talk) 01:14, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Ahhhh. My apolgies. I edited the list that time under the false assumption everything was a regular expression (which its not). The phrase "***ERIC IS A FAG***" is from an parody page The Onion created of United States, and in one place an item in a list is replaced with "***ERIC IS A FAG***", and people are using it as an example to vandalise against. If you could consider putting it back, in light of what I've said (and my idiocy on that I don't need to escape * on a non-regex), I'd be quite greatful as this would help nail this new junk right in the bud.

Hi Lupin, and thanks for developing this great tool! I am using it here and on the Hebrew wikipedia, and I would like to report two minor issues with it in he wiki.
I saw now that on the en wiki, user contributions are shown in popup when hovering over "contribs" links and IP addresses in the recent changes screen. In the hebrew wikipedia, a popup window is opened, but it only says "שגיאה", which is hebrew for "error".
Another issue is that the Hebrew magicword for redirect, הפניה, is not recognized by the tool, so only a simple link is displayed when hovering over redirected links. (The hebrew magicword was only introduced some weeks ago.)
If any further information is needed, please let me know. thanks again! Netan'el 13:38, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi, when following a redirect, the popup shows two menu items - one for the redirect and one for the article. Also, i looked throw your code (very briefly :)) - do you think it might be good to create a common module that would combine requests to avoid duplications? For example, when user moves over a diff, a call to the module will indicate the needed information (revisions, user's timezone, ...). The module would then see if it requested these things before (like if it got timezone previously), and return cached information if it can, plus any new data that it had to request. That data can also be added to the cache, etc. What do you think? Lastly, for some reason some popups do not get the data - moving the mouse over history shows the initial box, but not the content afterwards. I tried cache refresh. It might be due to running on the latest minefield (firefox nightly build). -- Yurik 23:34, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi again :).
I'm having troubles testing my scripts because popups is eating up my bugs in js console ;). After about a minute this warning is produced regularly (at least one at a second):
Warning: reference to undefined property this.left File: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:Lupin/popups.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s Line: 4924
Around that line:
Navpopup.prototype.limitHorizontalPosition=function() { ... log('limitHorizontalPosition: x='+x+ ', this.left=' + this.left + ', this.width=' + this.width + ', cWidth=' + cWidth); ... }
If I understand correctly this is for debugging only, so maybe you could just delete or comment out this line? Maybe it would also be possible to delete all debugging functions in released versions of popups. This probably wouldn't make it much smaller or faster, but some is still good enough :).
Regards, Nux talk | didn't answer? drop a note 08:52, 29 July 2006 (UTC).
p.s.: Just curious here - but how come popups is running in the background windows (tabs) and producing this warning even if I disabled it (with the menu thingy) on all opened pages?
Me again :).
I just wanted to let you know that on my translation of popups. I've deleted all debuging instructions (starting with the above log thingy, and finishing with debug.js) and nothing blown up my screen so I guess it was OK ;).
Also wanted to let you know that it works when you split JS file to sections. It might help you in small bugfixing. I did that by replacing
// STARTFILE: (.*)\n
with
/*\n</pre>\n$1\n<pre>\n*/\n// STARTFILE: $1\n
I used Zocky's SearchBox for that as I mostly working on Win98 and don't have any decent utf8 editors. Anyway works great - just needed to fix domdrag.js and add some workaround for livepreview.js as they both contained </pre> tag.
BTW. I belive that you should disable all events that are making popups work in the background when it is disabled.

The format of the query is http://tools.wikimedia.de/~essjay/edit_count/Count.php?username=$1&submit=Count . Since both "kate" and "interiot" options for edit counter in popups are now broken, it may be good to make Essjay's the default; it is much faster than Interiot's tool 2 which can hang some browsers when counting >10,000 edits.

It would be nice if a click on a link (for navigation or context menu) would cancel the popup to display, at least until the mouse is moved out and in again.
This is not a big deal in 90% of situations, but sometimes, perhaps when the CPU is a bit more stretched than normal, the showing of a new popup interferes a little bit with the navigating. For instance it might happen that the context menu opens, and then suddenly the popup opens and the browser doesn't react smoothly to the context menu.
This seems to me to be an easy problem to fix, but is not very urgent.
Yours faithfully, Shinobu 21:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey Lupin. firstly: aweome tool! :) good as.
Secondly: Is there anyway that instead of the "Show Changes" button being pressed, the "Save page" button can be pressed. It just seems a bit tedious to have to wait till the page loads, then wait till the diff loads, then click Save page, wait till that loads, then close it and move on.. You know what i mean?

Thanks for all the work you've put into popups, it really is a great little script, and the only one that I actually keep enabled all the time. I remember you helped us out at WP:DPL before, so I wondered if you could do it again. What I'd really like is a way for popups to warn you when you go to save an article that includes links to disambiguation pages. I don't know how many people use popups, but prevention is better than cure, and I know for myself that it's very easy to include an ambiguous link accidentally. The feature could be disabled by default if people found it intrusive, but I think it could be really quite useful. I'm not sure how much work this would be, but it's an idea. Thanks!

Hello! Just noticed this edit by you. Given all the (awesome) JS scripts you have written, I'd presume that this was done by one too.

I am trying to use the option fix links to disambiguation page from the navigation popups on the Dutch Wikipedia, but it does not work there. I have added the line: popupFixDabs=true; to my monobook and cleared my browser's cache. I do not see an option fix, or anything. The reason for this is probably that the template indicating a page is a disambiguation page is {{dp}} in stead of {{dab}}. can this be overcome somehow? Best regards, 07:37, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi again after a break.
I don't really know how this works, but after editing .js page it gets parsed by MediaWiki and all sections are editable ([edit] links are shown) and an index is generated. Somehow it stayed that way on my version and I'm very happy about it ;). Anyway at first it didn't work and you may see that I've made kind of an editing index on the talk page [28], which you might also use.
You may see that this also works on your test page here -> edit first section.

Sorry it took me so long to respond, but I've been away most of the summer and just now checked for messages. For me, [29] does not spill over. However, [30] does kind of spill over. By that, I mean that the gray shaded areas and some text extend past the right-hand boundary of the pop-up. Is that what you mean by spill over?

Hi.
Popups is able to display preview when highlighting text in edit area, but it is not working well then. I'm not sure why is this happening, but I guess that it is because you take first header's content (or maybe page title) as an article title. This is not correct while editing as the title is e.g. "Editing User talk:Lupin (comment)". I'm not sure how you could fix this, but maybe you could take the title from the first tab (here <li id="ca-nstab-user"><a title="" accesskey="c" href="/info/en/?search=User:Lupin">User page</a></li>) or maybe just replace all occurences without reloading the page (which would probably be the best).
Best regards, Maciej "Nux" Jaros ** drop a note** 08:24, 24 August 2006 (UTC).
PS: If you will decide to take the title from the first tab, then you could probably use something like:
var this_simple_href = document.getElementById('p-cactions').getElementsByTagName('li')[0].getElementsByTagName('a')[0].href;

I have been occasionally getting a nasty error message. The symptoms are as follows:
I at first thought I had a coding error in one of my own script, but I have found a way to reproduce the error that shows that Popups is to blame.
I'm not sure how to go about fixing this. As you can see the problem will not occur frequently, since for it to happen the mousepointer must accidentally move over the place where a link is in the target page. Still, it's very annoying when it happens.
I'm sorry to bring up such an obscure problem, so I'll try to help by giving you my idea on what might cause this to happen. You're loading the popups here, right?
<script type="text/javascript"> if (window.runOnloadHook) runOnloadHook(); </script>
So that might mean that the page is not fully loaded when the links are getting their popups wired. If they then receive a mousemove, the computer is still busy, the timeout elapses, page still not fully loaded because the last bit of page simply hasn't been processed yet, popup appears, tries to open a connection while the connection with the current page is still open... it could be. Of course, it might be something totally different.
If I can find a way to stop this from happening, I'll let you know. Bye, Shinobu 02:20, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I've inserted the following code just before inclusion of your script:

It seems to help. I'll test this configuration for a while, so I can fix any problems that might occur. If it keeps working, we might discuss if and how we'll finalize the solution. For instance, I'm using another script that uses almost the same code to hook into onreadystatechange, so that could become a shared library. Or a script could be created that changes addOnloadHook like the above does - these two are not mutually exclusive of course. But first I'll go on reading on Wikipedia for a while, and try to reproduce te problem, to be as sure as possible that the problem is actually solved. Shinobu 04:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Before you ask: yes, above code contains a slight bug. It was originally only intended to shield against a possible built-in Wikipedia onreadystatechange hook, so that other script using the same code interferes a bit, although not noticeable. If I turn this into a shared lib, I'll fix that. Shinobu 23:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
It turns out onreadystatechange is not portable, but no need to panic. In de standard Wikipedia function library sits a good alternative, so it seems. I'll do some more tests.
hookEvent("load", function() { //Do stuff here. });
Faithfully yours, Shinobu 03:01, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Everything seems to work fine now. Code is located at User:Gerbrant/alternativeOnloadHook.js. Yours sincerely, Shinobu 05:22, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
The "module business" is just something I use for ease of debugging and loading scripts - just ignore it, it's not needed for the problem at hand. I only explicitly declared the module because that made it easy to toy with the functions on my computer locally.
Relevant code:
this.alternative = function(fn) { hookEvent("load", fn); }; addOnloadHook = this.alternative;
Since your script calls addOnloadHook, I just override it with this.alternative. It accepts a callback function, just like addOnloadHook, and passes it to hookEvent in wikibits.js.
So you could either replace calls to addOnloadHook by hookEvent, or, if you want to keep this configurable, copy-paste
function(fn) { hookEvent("load", fn); };
and use whichever function the settings for popups say should be used, like
if(useAddOnloadHook) myOnloadHook = addOnloadHook; else myOnloadHook = function(fn) { hookEvent("load", fn); };
I hope this helps. Yours sincerely, Shinobu 09:50, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I wanted to let you know I had ripped your javascript and your list of badwords to be able to use my own list (which suits more my needs, for example to see if some templates are added on a page). If you don't want me to do that, just tell me so on my talk page and I'll remove both files from my userpage. I didn't put any link to these two files anywhere, so I should be more or less the only one able to use them. Thanks a lot for this wonderful tool :) Lucasbfr 22:42, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Once again kudos for the wonderful popup script, and for implementing a feature that I had requested earlier (history preview). I have another request, and I don't even know if it is possible: on my system (Windows/firefox), when I hover over a link near the bottom of the page, the popup window will show up even further down and will only be partly visible. It would be nice if the popup window could be displayed above the link in these situations. Cheers, AxelBoldt 23:17, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
HI, Thanks for the popup feature; it's incredible. For link disambig (and in fact, for every context, as far as I can see) the count of "What Links Here" in main namespace (namespace 0) is far more useful info than the number of links on the page (as currently appears on the popup). In fact... I can't think of a context in which the latter is useful at all, except to give an idea how long the article is.. but the size in KB does that pretty well... so the link count in its current form is redundant.. but count of "what links here" in Main would be useful...

Is there anyway to view the headings related to the topic in popups. This would be helpful to get a bit more of an overview of an article (whether it's a stub and needs to be tagged, any other minor MoS changes) and also provides a context to the diffs that one sees.

I was wondering if it was possible / how to get popups to work on other MediaWiki wikis. I first just put it in like on here, but the popups (though working) just showed everything as empty pages.

Is there a simple way to get it to work (certain things to find/replace), for someone who doesn't actually know what the code is doing? - Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 07:54, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to be able to modify the Edit summary before submission when doing a revert. Probably the easiest way would be to make it so that it doesn't automatically submit the page. Could this be made some sort of user selectable feature perhaps?

I have a bug, and an extra feature for the list redlinks script.
Bug: The href of the link in the list goes to to "#redlink123", but the problem is that the links in the list also have the name #redlink123, so it just goes there. A simple fix:
l.name = "";
Extra feature: The redlinks in the list just show the redlink title and not where it actually goes. Simple fix:
var lp = unescape(lk.href.replace('http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=', '').replace('&action=edit','').replace(/_/g, ' ')); if(l.innerHTML != lp) l.innerHTML += ' ('+lp+')';

Hello!
I've been using your scripts (popups and recentchanges) for a while, and they are no longer working; I miss them terribly, and am exceedingly annoyed when I try to preview an article and can't. I actually get annoyed when I can't preview links on sites other than Wikipedia!
Anyway, my scripts are no longer working, and I've tried replacing them and reverting my monobook.js page and refreshing everything, but they still aren't fixed. The popups worked for approximately two and a half minutes after I re-added the information the second-to-last time, but the recentchanges still isn't working. I was hoping to get some vandal-fighting done tonight but I guess I'll have to wait... it is a good chance to get some tedious stuff done. But still.
I'd appreciate if you could let me know if there's something I should try or something I'm doing wrong. I can't think of anything, but you're obviously smarter than I and I may be missing something entirely obvious!

Dear Lupin,
As you are the creator of the "popups" software, and as the source code appears to be located on one or more of your user pages, I send you the following requests :
Please remove from User:Lupin/strings-draft all advertisements in the form of the phrase : 'using popups'.
Please do what is necessary so that they are also removed from foreign languages translations.
This is Spam. This is annoying. I do not want to find those in my watchlist any longer.
The purpose of edit summaries is not to advertise oneself.
This being said, I have no doubt your tool is a wonderful device helping a lot of people to perform their tasks on Wikipedia.
Best regards.

Your rollback feature is very useful. However, it automatically marks all reverts as minor. I don't like that, since I don't consider vandalism reverts as minor. How can I change that? -- Exir Kamalabadi Join Esperanza! 10:46, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Yesterday, several pages like Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and Nebraska got hit by a swarm of IP vandals. I made a total of 8 submissions to the Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism page, along with numerous reverts (I wish I had had popups then :( ) but practically every single time I did, I had to make my edit first, and then copy it, refresh the edit window, and make it again to submit it. This is despite copying previous edits of mine to speed up how quickly I could submit the vandals (and I should note that I only got 8 of them because I had to leave). It seems there were a lot of other people trying to stop the flood as well. I noticed you had one-click reversion among the features, and I'm curious if you could make something like that for vandal submission. In this case, something a one-click revert and warn next to the regular revert. If the user has received the full range of warnings already, or is a repeat vandal, then it should send a submission to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. This would make my life a lot easier if this happens again. - NorsemanII 15:36, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Lupin, I just came across your anti-vandal tool recently, and was blown away! Thanks for your efforts to provide tools to make things easier for us less-godlike users!
I had an idea for an extension that could be useful for WikiProject Disambiguation -- a "new links to disambiguation pages detector." Basically, it would filter the Recent Changes feed just like your AVT, but instead of looking for vandalism it would look for links to disambig pages. Not all of them, of course, but a list of the ones that are most frequently linked to, like American, English, and so forth. We could easily develop such a list using the data generated on WP:DPM. When it detects a newly-added link, instead of (or in addition to) a warning or a rollback, it would allow the operator to click a link to post a polite message on the user's talk page informing them that their recent edit to Pagename included a link to Foogle, which is a disambiguation page, and it would be extremely helpful if they would be so kind as to edit this link to point to the most appropriate article (of those listed on the disambig page) corresponding to their topic.
Is this something you would be interested in? Is it feasible? The only downside I can see is that it might generate a lot of talk page messages. -- Russ (talk) 20:40, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

In history, if you hover over the newest edit, and click revert, what should happen? In my experience, you point to the version you want to revert to -- not from. If you attempt to revert to the newest version, WP goes through the motions of reverting, so you might think the change was reverted. But it's still there.
I think you need to display some sort of error message when that happens. Will ( Talk - contribs) 04:48, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Probably caused by the last change to User:Lupin/popupsdev.js, when I use the popupsdev.js in Firefox 2.0 (Win XP SP2) I get a warning that pops up in Firefox "The page at http://en.wikipedia.org says: navLinksHTML". If I close the warning it pops up again, making Firefox unusable. I'm on the non-dev popups now and eveything is fine.-- Commander Keane 01:29, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Would it be useful to have Oleg's edit summary counter (cgi: [34]) in the popups? I'm not sure if it takes arguments via URLs, but you can at least specify username and project once you're there. -- Eddi ( Talk) 23:51, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I love your popups, thanks a bunch! I have one feature request: when checking my watchlist, I find myself constantly clicking on history links, because the watchlist only shows the last change and I need to know if any earlier changes occurred that I might have missed. It would really help if hovering over the (hist) link would bring up a popup with the article's history. The same should obviously happen for all links that contain "&action=history". Thanks again and cheers, AxelBoldt 16:14, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
My best to Yurik as well!
I experienced a most bizarre bug while testing the new feature in my watchlist. Part of the watchlist is shown in
Image:Histbug1.jpg. At the time, the entry for the Periodic table ("PT") was just above Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship ("WT:RFA"), and when I hovered over the PT history link
[35] I got a popup with the PT title and the WT:RFA history
[36]. This is shown in

Hey, Lupin. I started using the Navigation pop-ups and liked it so much that I translated it to Icelandic, from Eddi's Norwegian Bokmål version. But the problem is that I use Opera 8.51 and it keeps crashing after I started using the pop-ups. I saw farther up that a user changed from 8.52 to 8.51 and solved his crashing-problem.

Hello, I thought I would give you a quick run down of the situation for your maps in Scotland. As a result of discussion on infobox map standardisation here a wee while ago your maps are generally not being used now. Rather than just going ahead and putting a lot of maps up for deletion I thought I would let you know first. I don't know if you want them kept for continuity (given the very large number of maps already in the category). There has been some comment on this issue here over the last few months. If you don't have any problems with the IFD then I will just work through the category putting orphaned Scottish maps up for deletion. SFC9394 21:40, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I have not searched through all the talk archives; please feel free to point me there if my question has been answered already. I would, however, recommend that we made a central list of bugs---those discovered/reported, those in the process of being fixed, and those which have been fixed---so as to reduce the amount of questions like this one (or is there such a list already: if so, tell me!). Anyway; thanks for a great tool, which saves me a lot of time checking minor edits on my watchlist!
Yup, I get strange behaviour (with IE) when I let the mouse pointer hover over a link positioned close to the bottom of the browser window: the popup "post-it window" is cut short at the browser window border. This doesn't seem to be a problem with links placed to the extreme right, say---there, one gets the expected behaviour, i.e. the popup is placed into the browser window so that the entire popup window displays OK. Any comments? -- Wernher 01:43, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Would it be possible in your pop-ups extension to have an automated way to insert {{ welcome}} onto a users talk page, just by hovering over their user page link? It would make it easier to welcome users---say you see a contributing user through the revision history. You could then just hover over the link, and select welcome, without ever leaving the page. Is this possible, and would you be willing to add it, if it is?

I used to have extended revert summaries working just fine when reverting edits through the history page, though lately reverts seem to automatically go down to the basic 'Reverting to revision, (number)' summary.

The problem mentioned there is still far from being fixed in the stable version of Navigation popups.
I'd like to suggest the following patched version of decodeEscapes:
Title.prototype.decodeEscapes=function(txt) { var split=txt.parenSplit(/([%][0-9A-Fa-f]{2})/); var len=split.length; for (var i=1; i<len; i=i+2) { split[i]=unescape(split[i]); } var hashText = split.join(''); split=hashText.parenSplit(/([.][0-9A-F]{2})/); len=split.length; for (var j=1; j<len; j+=2) { split[j]=unescape('%' + split[j].slice(1)); //e.g. '.A0'.slice(1) == 'A0' } return split.join(''); };

First of all, thanks for the great tool you've provided, it certainly helps me.
The problem I am having is that reading your instructions to change the appearance of the PopUp's, I wanted them to appear blue and in a larger text (so it is easier to read and navigate for me). I am using Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.3. I edited and saved my monobook.css with the following instructions:
.navpopup { background-color: #d7eeff !important; border-color: #1e90ff !important; font-size: small !important; }
Nothing happened. I cleared the cache on Firefox and the problem still persists. So I'm at a bit of a loss of what happened and I hope you can help me. tghe-retford 10:19, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

I am using IE 6.0.28 and I keep getting a Windows pop-up dialog box that says "Navigation popups error: op or cl is null! something is wrong". If I click "OK", then the box goes away and I can click on the link. The Lupin popup still shows but the pop-up dialog is totally annoying.
At this point, I'd be find getting rid of Lupin popups completely but I can't figure out how to do that. I tried removing everything from my monobook.js but that didn't seem to help.
Don't get me wrong. I love Lupin popups and the prospect of not being able to use them is not a happy one. However, this "navigation popups error" is driving me nuts and I'd rather get rid of Lupin popups than have to live with it any longer.

PS: Have no idea where did that english version come from. Maybe some old/new string that weren't translated? You might check pl-file here if you wish.
The solution seems reasonable, thanks :).
About 'defaultpopupRevertToPreviousSummary' - it's missing in the User:Lupin/strings-draft. I've compared those in the main file and in the draft and there are some not included in the main file and some in other places... Maybe you could just copy over it to save the trouble of comparing?
Anyway as I'm here anyway. Maybe you might want to look at small corrections I've done to the CSS . This makes actions menu a little bigger so you want accidently go of it. And this reminds me one more thing...
Could you add a setting for the time when the popups disappears? Giving at least half a second would help me sometimes.
Again very grateful for your work, Nux talk | faster(pl) talk 21:14, 20 May 2006 (UTC).
I had some problems figuring out what's the difference ;)... But yes, I meant the latter. That is - no matter how much time passed since the popup appeared, if the mouse just goes of it for some time it will still remain visible for that (short) time and I can go back to it to prevent it from disappearing at all. This is to make the popup more stable despite accidental mouse movements. Nux talk | didn't answer? drop a note 13:57, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello! I would like to request a feature to be added for disambiguating links actual articles. A few times, not often, I've been tempted to temporarily replace an article with a dab page while I use your tool to dab the links. I suspect it would be a pain to parse an articles dablinks/hatnotes but maybe it would be possible to add alink to a disambiguation page at e.g. Current article title (disambiguation). Maybe a link could be added to the actions menu when popupFixDabs is true, or maybe just a little green link which could be followed when popupSubpopups is set? And so as to not slow down the tool, the page might not even need to be checked for beforehand. Thanks! Ewlyahoocom 23:37, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure whether or not this will effect what you're doing; however, there are a few problems with my current global lists that I will need to correct in the next release. The main problem is that anyone can remove a user from the global list but not from each individual's local list; thus, if Jimbo gets blacklisted, and everyone goes and retrieves the global BL, we can remove Jimbo from the list, but we can't do anything about the next time User:Example uploads his list, with Jimbo on it, back to the global list. My solution is pretty simple: imbed another list inside the current one for removed users that will not allow certain users to be reloaded to the list. I'll likely keep the same basic encryption scheme and stick the list simply within a separate set of brackets, so as long as you merely read the list enclosed by begin/end dump, this shouldn't effect what you're doing--just wanted to give you a heads up.
At the same time, I also have an idea completely unrelated to VandalProof or your anti-vandalism tool that I was going to suggest to you but kept forgetting. You seem to be the definite go-to guy for Wikipedia JS coding, whereas I'm quite a novice in the language, so I thought I'd see if you thought this was do-able. One thing that I would really like would be to have the oldids of each version appended at the end of the date in history views. I wrote a routine to do this in VandalProof, but the only way I knew to do it was to scrape the HTML of the page and write it back, which subsequently disables JavaScript on the page (including popups and the handy-dandy radio buttons). Basically what I want is to see is "08:30, 29 May 2006 (UTC) (99999)" on each item in the history without disabling the JavaScript on the page. Anyway, it's certainly not a high priority, so please don't let it get in the way of the other, much more important work you're doing. But if you could even just generally point me in the direction of some routines or JS commands to do this (or just tell me that it can't be done with Java), it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, and thanks for your excellent WP:POP tool. I wonder if you could add the deletion log to the actions menu for an article. I may be wrong, but there appears to be no one-click way of otherwise accessing it from the standard interface. Thanks for giving it consideration! Best, Sandstein 04:25, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Lupin. It's easy to remember your ID. Lupin is character that appears in Harry Potter story, Movie. I'm Harry Potter fan too. I think that you are also big Harry Potter fan. Anyways, when I checked your sandbox. There are many weired worlds in your sandbox as I observed your sandbox. But, you already reverted it back to past one. Anyways, I would like to ask you about something. How could I create my own sandbox? Please, Reply on my talk-page. I understand you don't like to reply on someone's discussion page.

I've been thinking about that and I belive this is because popups is quite huge ;). The size of the file might be causing browsers to parse it as the last one that is updated. I don't have any proves of such behavior, but it usually happens when wiki is getting slow or very slow. So maybe there just isn't any solution to this? Or you could add some additional if-s around lines that gives errors? -- Nux talk | didn't answer? drop a note 02:10, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Your vandal tools are stunning. I especially like "filter recent changes". However what I desperately want is this: a page that looks exactly like Recent Changes, but simply updates.
So a carbon copy of RC that scrolls as changes are made. THAT would be awesome. (Esp. for RC patrolling!) Simplest way to do this is just to somehow load RC onto a special User:Lupin/RC realtime page and then force it to keep re-checking the information (refreshing if need be). -- Alfakim -- talk 21:43, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi Lupin, I replied here. -- Flominator 23:00, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Have you ever thought of popups-light? It would be nice if some of the code would be incorporated with wiki also for guests (IPs). For example one could go over some inner-link and get quick info about some article whout actualy going in this article. The problem is usually with all sorts of abbreviations and such and this could even be good to wikiservers (user wouldn't click to the article). In addition I belive that wiki php-programers could work on a way to determin header infromation of some article and that way popups wouldn't load whole article (it does that now, correct?). -- Nux talk | didn't answer? drop a note 01:57, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Is there a way to temporarly disable some functions of popups? Like somewhere to click to temporarly (just for currently viewed page) to disable loading of preview of an article. -- Nux talk | didn't answer? drop a note 01:57, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
I remebered one more... I was thinking of working on some javascript add-on that would generate JS code from an easy to fill HTML form. Some first version would simply be an easy way to configure popups in that manner. What do you think about it? -- Nux talk | didn't answer? drop a note 01:57, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
This would be quite easy if done outside of Wikipedia, but I'm not sure if this can be done inside...
To make it inside I'm thinking of creating some simple table with listed options and possible values. In that table there would be some span elements with title that would be the code to add. Those spans would have to have onclick event added (spans would have some specific class). Then when a user would click some submit-like link the text would somehow appear in the edit textarea... Not sure if the last is doable at all... Another problem would be - what if a user would have some previously set options? The text would already be in his .js... Or maybe this shouldn't be done so simple and user would simple have to copy paste some generated text. Nux talk | didn't answer? drop a note 22:41, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to spam you with all sorts of things at one time, but this might be important.
I've mentioned some problems with warnings in JavaScript console and then you said you don't have any. I also saw none and thought this was fixed, but I've simply forgot that I enabled strict mode of JS...
Any way the warnings are still there. If you have webdeveloper then just go to:
And now reload and watch the yellow triangle appear and get used to it as almost all pages on the net have it ;). Most of warnings are probably not dangerous, but some might be or may point you to solving some unsolved problem (might even get popups to fully work under Opera and IE). Most of the warnings are:
Just recently I've made some JS algorithm test page that worked on FF, but not on both Opera and IE. Finally I've run Opera JavaConsole and found that there were some errors not shown in FF console. This in particular were:
const OUTPUT_ELEMENT_ID = 'output'; // not working (string can't be const?)
and
var OUTPUT_ELEMENT_ID = 'output';
But I also had some issues with innerHTML (had to use createElement func.).

Hello, Lupin. Again, Someone already responded my message yesterday. I'm so curious about wikipedian bots right now. Lupin, When I checked article for vandalism, there are some wikipedian bots who put another version language. Such bots User:YurikBot. In my opinion, Bots are usually fix the spelling, grammar mistakes in article, and put another language version from the source of article. To Arabic, Hebrew, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Armenian, German, Chinese etc. I personally think that some bots usually fight with vandalism. Lupin, I just visited Chinese Wikipedia, (P.S I'm Chinese Wikipedian), I saw that YurikBot added language form in Chinese Wikipedia. Does Wikipedian Bot know every language version because I really want to know about Bots. Does Wikipedian make an extra ID for Bots? Is making Bot ID for only admin? What do they use their own Bots ID for? Just explain to me in my discussion's page. I understand you don't like to respond in my talk-page. But please, Reply on my talk-page. Thanks.

I was playing around with regexps on Wikisource a few days and eventually got the point where I was running a monotonous search/replace using the Replace tab from here. I decided to use the AddLiMenu function to create a dropdown of regexps, so that you could just click and have them done, instead of clicking and pasting the regexp into the "Search", then hitting enter and typing the replace into "Replace".
I
got it working with a simple regexp: (\n), replace with $1$1, which doubles the whitespace (used it extensively when converting the Bible texts from HTML to templates). One of our latest projects is converting a rather ugly HTML header (
found here) into a simple template. The main issue is that, despite escaping the backslashes in the regexp, jumping through several hoops, dancing naked in the moonlight, etc, I can't get it to work. The regexp <div[\\s\\S\\n\\R ]*\\[\\[EBD1897:([^|]*)\\|[^\\]]*\\]\\][\\s\\S\\n\\R ]*\\[\\[EBD1897:([^|]*)\\|[^\\]]*\\]\\][\\s\\S\\n\\R ]*\\[\\[w:([^|]*)\\|[^\\]]*\\]\\][\\s\\S\\n\\R ]*</div>
seems to work fine when simply applying it to the page, but as an actual function,
like this, it doesn't work. Any idea on how I might get it to work?

We have a template {{ audio}} meant for inline links to audio files:
'''Bordeaux''' ({{Audio|Fr-Bordeaux.ogg|pronunciation}}) is a [[Seaport|port]] city in...
gives this:
A big complaint is that the help and info links are cluttering up articles. I thought perhaps we could put those links inside a javascript pop-up. People who don't have javascript will just see them the way they are now. I made a mock-up script, but it would need a lot of work before going live. You are an expert on pop-ups, so I'd like your opinion on whether this is a feasible idea. See Template_talk:Audio#Formatting — Omegatron 14:25, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
This works, more or less. It remains quite ugly, though :) By the way, people with CSS enabled but javascript disabled will not see these links, as things stand. To fix this, maybe the script should assign a new CSS class on page load to the relevant objects. This has the side-effect of them appearing while the page loads and then disappearing, though.

When I hover over the action link, the menu popup where I can revert has a space between it and the position of my mouse cursor. Since the popup disappears the moment I'm not hovering on action or the menu itself, it disappears when I go to it due the spacing inbetween the menu and the actin link. It even does this when hovering over that external link. Kevin_b_er 08:35, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Lupin. Using the 'original' structure I would like to have a link to a user's block log.
In my config. options I have popupAdminLinks=true and popupStructure='original'. Hovering over a user this gives a link to their log (their page moves etc) and the block page, but it does not give a link to the block log (to see if they have been blocked). I would like a link to the block log.
I know the link exists under different popupStructures, but is it possible to have it added to the 'original' structure? (I find that 'original' is the fastest and best structure for me). Thanks -- Commander Keane 02:39, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I upgraded my Firefox browser a few days ago to 1.5.0.4. I'm really not sure which version I had prior to that (I think it was 1.0). Since then I've had some problems with the pop-ups. When the mouse hovers over some links (but not others), I get a "spinning beachball" (i.e., Mac) mouse cursor for a few seconds, followed by an error message:
If I click "Stop" it clears up after about a second and I'm on my merry way (for a while). This doesn't happen with every link, just some, and I can't tell why some links set it off and others don't.

Very cool tool.
I think more useful than "lastEdit" would be "lastContrib", especially when checking for vandalism. Often a user makes a series of edits in a short time span and simply looking at the diff for the last edit won't reveal all of the changes, only the last one. This is particularly true because if a significant edit was made and then the user noticed a typo or formatting issue that they immediately corrected, only the typo correction would be displayed. To determine if the last edit reflects all of the changes made by the last person to edit the file, you need to look at the history. So my request is for a "lastContrib" menu item that shows a diff between the last user (contributor) to edit the file and the first edit in the history made by a different user. (BTW, I realize doing this is probably not completely straight forward as lastEdit and all of the other current menu items use URLs that don't require any inspection of dynamic content such as the history, but given how responsive it is fetching the page stats, I'm guessing that the delay until the lastContrib menu item was displayed would be acceptable.)
Another possibly useful addition would be to have a "sinceMe" command that would be displayed for pages the user has editted. This would bring up a diff of all changes to the page since the last change from the current user. This would be EXTREMELY nice when going over links on your watchlist. – Doug Bell talk• contrib 12:26, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Oddly enough, in two out of nine attempted edits when I had the popups on, it decided to popup about a link cited in the text I was editing (not on mouseover or anything), which deselected the editing box. Couldn't really type anything with the repeated deselection [47], so I had to turn it off. — Laura Scudder ☎ 23:16, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Please leave it alone. I don't understand why people who don't know anything about a subject or name, think they have the right to change it. it's stated on history several times it's wpelled with one G. If you don't believe me, look it up! ~~maluka
Hi Lupin, I heard that there is a flag in the popups which allow to link directly to Interiots tool, rather than kate's - but i cant seem to find it! Could you point me in the right direction? Cheers! The Minist e r of War (Peace) 16:46, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Hey there,
Is there a way to cause popups-assisted reversion edit summaries to reflect the name of the user that authored the version being reverted to, rather than the numeric rv id? Numeric ID's generate some confusion for other editors when reviewing edit summaries.
Thanks for helping out, and improving my Wikipedia experience :)

I've tried setting this option in Popups:
newOption('popupRedirAutoClick', 'wpSave');
But no matter what I do whenever I try to fix a redirect it always clicks the Show Preview button rather than the Save page button. And yes, I did use Shift-Refresh. Any ideas? Thanks! -- Cyde Weys 22:42, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Something I just noticed that may be important: when the template is added at the top of the article, it forces the text down (appears to be an implicit break somewhere). I would suggest using it only at the bottom. — Kirill Lok s hin 03:34, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. I noticed the User:Brian0918 just altered the live version of popups.js from using Kate's tool to using Interiot's tool. I think there are a lot of people who assume that all changes are made by you, Lupin, and that they go through popupsdev.js first. Maybe the development policy should be made explicit at WP:POP. This doesn't really affect me, since I use a copy of popups.js in my own namespace, but I thought I'd bring it up since I noticed the change and didn't see any discussion beforehand.

Hi. Any chance of being able to input an edit summary for a popups-assisted reversion? Werdna648 T/ C\ @ 00:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi Lupin! Thanks for the stars in the Featured Articles. I think it is a great idea. The last one you uploaded however, although consistent with other FA symbols, does not look so nice in small format, all the small lines blending to make it look more like a "dirty star". I personnaly prefer the previous "French" one, bright and glittering. What do you think? Best regards. PHG 13:23, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
I see that you've become quite a wizard with this thing, so I thought I'd bug you with an old feature request of mine again. It would be very nice if the user link on the top of the page poped up a menu with links to subpages in their userspace, i.e. stuff you find at Special:Prefixindex/User:Zocky. Zocky | picture popups 14:48, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
In the article "actions" menu, it would be nice to have a Google search option, perhaps "search|global|web" would fit without growing the menu. I would prefer that the resulting search query string be preceded by a single %22 quotation mark because (1) it's easier to remove than add, and (2) most of the searches are going to need to be exact phrase searches for verifiability. Thank you for your fantastic tool. -- James S. 17:09, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

I've been testing Firefox for memory leaks with the Leak-Gauge tool, and I noticed the only memory leaks I experienced over several hours of browsing were from Wikipedia popups.

Hi Lupin, your popup script interferes with the changes preview of my cacycle editor script. I guess it is a css problem (even if I could not localize that in your code). Is there a way for a peaceful coexistence of both tools? :-) BTW, I have added a cool cookie based history function for the edit summary and the find / replace fields. Cacycle 20:33, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
popups={}; popups.diff={}; popups.diff.diff=function(o,n) { ... }
I have translated the script into two variants of Norwegian ( nn:, no:). To keep it updated I must edit two copies of 200+ kB code that is identical except from the popupStrings definitions. Because of all the work (albeit far less than yours) and the constant risk of unintended unicode errors, I only translate the stable version, and run the dev version at en: only. Would it be possible to have a separate module of translated strings that could be called from monobook.js, and link directly to your original script – dev or stable – instead of some local copy? If the module was missing, the strings should default to the untranslated core. -- Eddi ( Talk) 02:07, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
Returning to an earlier suggestion about thematic string sorting, I have made a User:Lupin/strings-draft that could also be used as basis for local translations. Please check if the themes and the sorting look reasonable. If you think it should be protected, the file can be renamed to e.g. User:Lupin/strings.js -- Eddi ( Talk) 08:17, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
There is a bug in popup.js that quickly fills up the JavaScript console with thousands of error messages:

You popup tool has improved a lot recently, I am using it all the time.

Your tools work fine with Sam's script installed (yes, latest version of all), but I cannot revert using Sam's tool when I have either your popups or your anti-vandal script installed; I get various error messages, depending on what I'm trying to accomplish and which of your scripts is installed. I'd like to be able to use all of these tools, but with yours installed Sam's doesn't work, though the opposite doesn't seem to be true. I don't know where the conflict lies and I'm nowhere near experienced enough to troubleshoot beyond disabling one or the other. Just wondering at this point if anyone else has mentioned this.

There are a number of redirects of the form:

I noticed that if you fix a single disambig with the popups, all such disambigs in the page are fixed at the same time. But this doesn't seem to hold for redirects, for which it would make even more sense to auto-fix all the redirects. Why doesn't the popups tool do that? Is it simply you came up with the feature when you were putting in the disambig feature? If so, I'd appreciate it if you could enable it for redirects as well. -- maru (talk) contribs 03:14, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
When you hover over a link such as http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Lupin&diff=40665394&oldid=40660338, popups shows the diffs in the preview area. However, links with a "prev" instead of an id, such as http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Lupin&diff=prev&oldid=40665394 (which, by the way, links to the exact same diff page) are shown regularly in the preview window - the diffs are not shown in the latter link.

hello i was editing my article and this is what i had right when you deleted it (i was trying to go into more detail so that it wouldn't be considered trash):
A jewbag is a common phrase, considered somewhat vulgar, and used by young people nowadays. It's a word you hear your friends say and everyone laughs. This isn't an actual word, just a common phrase. However, it is truly said a lot.
The word itself means nothing (just a word that is said a lot), but it is found offensive towards jewish people. A similar insult would be douchebag; a word with no direct meaning but still insulting.

Both the subst:

to fool MediaWiki.

Hello, just started using popups on Safari. It hasn't crashed for me (as it appears to have done for others) but the popups do have a nasty habit of not disappearing when the pointer moves away from the link. In fact the only way to make a popup disappear is to hover over a different link, making another popup. I opened up Firefox and Camino and neither had any trouble with popups. It's not a big thing obviously, and I wouldn't want to add to more work than you want, but it is pretty frustrating. Any idea if/when this problem will be fixed?
cheers - Thenugga 17:51, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Just found your great popup tool (and Wikipedia for that matter). I've been having some trouble with popups Safari (works great in Firefox). PithHelmet (an ad blocker) may be responsible for some of the crashing: before I added a site-specific preference I would get random crashes after doing a "reload unfiltered." After whitelisting Wikipedia, this no longer seems to happen, but I am getting really bad drawing errors (sometimes only yielding a very small empty square). I have some screenshots if they would help. Would something like this ever make it to the "my preferences" page?

As suggested in the script, here's a note on missing strings. The first one doesn't even seem to be invoked as popupStrings

'Revision %s of %s': 'Revision %s of %s', 'lastContrib': 'lastContrib', 'sinceMe': 'sinceMe',
By the way, is it possible to structure the pg.string
function of the script in a similar way as
User:Lupin/strings-draft, with strings grouped thematically instead of alphabetically? Then it would be easier to update the translated versions as strings are added or revised. I think most of the strings-draft file can be copied directly into the script. --

Hi, I've noticed that when people revert using popups, the edit summary reads : "Revert to revision 123...". Now, the revision number is pretty much useless.

Sorry for the confusion Lupin. When I hover over a link that needs to be disambiguated (via the popupFixDabs option) I would like an option to appear that inserts a wiktionary link for the term being disambiguated. So for example, if I was disambiguating the the link [[gothic]] it would be changed to [[wiktionary:gothic|gothic]]. I hope that makes more sense! -- Hetar 03:14, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Pembroke College, Cambridge3.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Please ignore me if I'm being dumb: I only installed your awesome popups tool recently. I can't seem to get the "revert" tool to work from Special:Contributions when my edit is the most recent edit. It looks like it just reloads and saves the current version instead of going one version back. Is this a feature? A bug? Impossible and I'm just using it wrong? It would also seem from the edit history of the page I'm using as a test that there are multiple behaviors for how it writes the edit comment, I guess depending on where I was when I hit revert [75].

The image in the popup is set to a constant width, which is ok as long as the image is not very thin and tall, like the one on Signpost pages; try links on {{ signpost-subscription}} to see what I mean.

Hi, I use Internet Explorer and once installed pop-ups into my book... jboo.. whatever, my chubaka page. After refreshing the browser, the new feature worked, but moving through a couple of pages (with or without the pop-ups' assistance) caused my browser to crash. No other negative effects have been observed and once I managed to uninstall the feature (by logging out and then logging back in on the appropriate page to remove the installation text), everything went back to normal.

Hi Lupin, I've just noticed that (presumably with the change to summer time), your popup script is getting the times of edits wrong.

i.e. The edit reverted to was made at 16:55 not 17:55 as reported by the popup's edit summary. Thryduulf 18:51, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
First, I have to say I really love your popups script. I have one suggestion though. When you revert a change to a page, the edit summary is by default
I would recommend changing that to wikipedia's standard of

Making it easier for admins to make reverts is a good thing, but not if its at the expense of making a specific comment. I know thats a flaw in the rollback function, so its not in your court.

Hi Lupin, I can't praise you enough for popups, I've been using it for quite some time, and have advertised it on my user page too, I reckon it's almost a default standard these days! First the praise then the favour... :-) I'm actually looking for some help/advice if you're not too busy. I helped out with the interface for Wikipedia:Good articles, but there are a few things I'd like it to be able to do. I'm on what seems a slow learning curve with templates and mediawiki being a pointy-clicky windows developer. I noticed this [77] and thought I could do something. My hack isn't good enough really. Having looked at the Monobook.js script I would have thought that it wouldn't take too much to create a show all - hide all button for the GA page. Have you any advice? Even if it's never going to go into Monobook a script could still go into individual monobooks for GA editors. Many thanks, and "viva la popups!"

The sinceMe and lastContrib links in PopUps work great—these are definitely the links I use the most. So now I have another suggestion...
I would like a "search" link in PopUps to be displayed for red links (empty pages). It should go directly to the search page in a new window. Ideally, if the search page supports passing these as parameters, it should automatically check the box for the namespace used by the link so that namespace is included in the search. This probably isn't needed for User and User talk namespace red links, although I suppose there isn't any reason to specifically make it not work for these.
The rationale for this is that I frequently will open the page for a red link just to get at the search link on the create page. Often, I'm looking to see if there is an article so that I can either fix the red link or create a redirect. This would probably become my third most used link. :-) — Doug Bell talk• contrib 19:38, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Lupin,
How hard would it be to make popups preview interwiki links? This way i can hover the mouse over interwiki language links and preview foreign language pages without clicking on them. What would be even greater is that i will be able to generate pages of interwiki conflicts and the user will easily be able to browse pages by moving their mouse. Thanks!

The "editors" link makes a list of editors who have contributed to an article – that is, an article at en.wikipedia.org, because the editor listing script doesn't seem to take dbname as an argument. I suppose you can't fix this directly in the popup script, but if or when the editor listing accepts the extra argument you'll probably want to have it in the popup script, too. -- Eddi ( Talk) 23:17, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

When clickling the "count" link to access a user's edit count from a popup on en, you are taken directly to the page that displays the edit count for that user on en. When you do the same on Commons it just takes you to the edit counter page where you have to enter the username and wiki manually. Could the Commons behaviour be adjusted to match the en behaviour?

Lupin: I'm using your section navigation javascript dohickey (the one which moves via j and k), and I've noticed that under cologneblue (at least; I have yet to test any of the other skins), the j and k keys are grabbed even when one is typing in the search box. If there is a searchbox under the tabs, then that one can be typed into alright, but the one on the upper left, in the sidebar, is useless for anything spelled with a j or k. -- maru (talk) contribs 18:26, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Is there any way to build in a delay of about 2 minutes for your anti-vandalism tool? So that IP edits that are reverted within the first minute won't be displayed. This way your tools can be better utilized for what it excels at; picking up more subtle vandalism that could be missed by bots and CDVF users. I understand it may involve asking developers for system resources; but until we begin establishing stable articles I think this is really important. Other smaller suggestions I'd have is to default Hide talk pages on, and add another option "Auto toggle results". - Roy Boy 800 18:56, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
I really like the ability to correct links to disambiguous pages with a single click, it's making editing a lot faster. I was just wondering if it was possible to add the feature to allow me to automatically change the links that point to non disambiguous pages that have a "This article is about the whatsit foo, for the thingamabob, see foo (bar)." It would be useful to be able to disambiguate the link to foo (bar) right away. (For example, Revolutions per minute has an intro link to Revolutions Per Minute (album) so when I found a link to the album as Revolutions Per Minute, it would be useful to be able to automatically fix it, instead of having to go in and manually do it.) I notice that the script cuts out any lines like that at the start of the article, so it looks like the program could check for any links in that section an give them as disambiguous options, that's just an option I see, without knowing all the programming details.
On a more ambitous note, it might be useful, if it points to foo (disambiguous), to pull up all the links on foo (disambiguous) as well, but that might be a bit much.
Thanks for a very useful tool. -- Nekura 21:40, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[80] I got a popup with the PT title and the WT:RFA history
[81]. This is shown in

Firefox javascript console keeps showing that pg and log are undefined in popups.js. I see that both are defined but via window (window.pg = ...). If you call them instead as window.pg in the script instead of just pg, will that work? -- M @ th wiz 20 20 20:50, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi. Does the pop-up navigation tool work in the Arabic Wikipedia? Because I tried it more than once and it doesn't work. Can you please check if it's possible for me to use it . Thanks. ~ MK~ (talk) 01:22, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Hey, Lupin. I started using the Navigation pop-ups and liked it so much that I translated it to Icelandic, from Eddi's Norwegian Bokmål version. But the problem is that I use Opera 8.51 and it keeps crashing after I started using the pop-ups. I saw farther up that a user changed from 8.52 to 8.51 and solved his crashing-problem. I run Windows ME. Do you have any clue what my problem could be? -- Jóna Þórunn 19:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Could you put ---- between edits for easier visual flow, and perhaps header info on the bottom of the edit. Latter is not a priority as its only pertinent to big vandalism, which should be reverted via IRC and CDVF anyway. - Roy Boy 800 05:47, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I thought I would give you a quick run down of the situation for your maps in Scotland. As a result of discussion on infobox map standardisation here a wee while ago your maps are generally not being used now. Rather than just going ahead and putting a lot of maps up for deletion I thought I would let you know first. I don't know if you want them kept for continuity (given the very large number of maps already in the category). There has been some comment on this issue here over the last few months. If you don't have any problems with the IFD then I will just work through the category putting orphaned Scottish maps up for deletion. SFC9394 21:40, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Does the popup tool work for Wikia, or is it only for Wikipedia?— G. He(Talk!) 23:20, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
I have not searched through all the talk archives; please feel free to point me there if my question has been answered already. I would, however, recommend that we made a central list of bugs---those discovered/reported, those in the process of being fixed, and those which have been fixed---so as to reduce the amount of questions like this one (or is there such a list already: if so, tell me!). Anyway; thanks for a great tool, which saves me a lot of time checking minor edits on my watchlist!
Yup, I get strange behaviour (with IE) when I let the mouse pointer hover over a link positioned close to the bottom of the browser window: the popup "post-it window" is cut short at the browser window border. This doesn't seem to be a problem with links placed to the extreme right, say---there, one gets the expected behaviour, i.e. the popup is placed into the browser window so that the entire popup window displays OK. Any comments? -- Wernher 01:43, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Would it be possible in your pop-ups extension to have an automated way to insert {{ welcome}} onto a users talk page, just by hovering over their user page link? It would make it easier to welcome users---say you see a contributing user through the revision history. You could then just hover over the link, and select welcome, without ever leaving the page. Is this possible, and would you be willing to add it, if it is?

I stumbled onto this rather incomplete passage in my further travels shortly after activating your wonderful navpop.

First I pointed out to the originating source that the "hook" for this technique is not presented (it was lost during a content split). You can see my comment here:

Then as I learning things while making user JS work on my personal wiki, I added the "system requirements" passage. It's probably full of caca.

Okay, I created http://www.taral.net/popups.js as a schematic for the delay code. Does that help? The existing popups code is crufty enough that I don't want to edit it directly for fear of breaking it. -- Taral 21:41, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
That patch seems right. Hm, missing mouseout events would be browser bug, so you'll need a workaround. It looks like overLIB provides a means for you to check that the mouse is still over the link at the time the timer fires. That would avoid excess popups. (Also, the "window.xyz = function" changes shouldn't be required, as far as I can tell.) -- Taral 01:08, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
Oh, another note... ideally you would want to capture the popup's mouseout event for dismissal, instead of polling every 500ms. Reduces browser CPU, increases interactivity, etc. Not sure if that's possible, though. -- Taral 01:11, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

A couple of suggestions for the popups, the one I suspect is easier first.
Amid an ongoing peer review of the article on The Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation, I would please like you to read my comments for its improvement, then examine the article as a whole and see whether you agree with me.
I'm asking you, because you started the article on the Care Bears a year before I joined Wikipedia ( March 18, 2004). This is to ensure all hopes of its featured status in the near future.

Hi Lupin. What do you think about adding a "touch" link? This link would perform a "touch" or "null edit" via autoedit. I looked into adding it myself, but the link generation stuff was a little complicated to make a simple change. The touch functionality is useful for working around certain MediaWiki bugs associated with the "What links here" functionality. You probably know, but it is done manually by making an "edit" with no changes and clicking "Save Page" without an edit summary. It seems like it would be a lot like the "Bypass redirect" functionality, except with no change or edit summary. Let me know what you think. Mike Dillon 19:37, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

I generated the Edo stub by looking at other Wikipedia articles (namely "Hojo Ujitsuna" and "Uesugi Tomooki" (the two commanders at that battle)). That brings me to an important question. What is Wikipedia's policy on internal citation (i.e. citing other wikipedia articles)?
Hello, good work on Space warfare, and thanks for the contribution. However, you forgot to add any references to the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. From what websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Space warfare? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? You can simply add links, or there are several different citation methods list at WP:CITET. Thanks! Lupin| talk| popups 20:06, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello you left a message on my IP-based talk page. I got the information from Working Lunch, a BBC program who had a feature on the economy of the Island.
Lupin, I've been engaged in head-on conflict with Striver for months. I'm an uptight academic; he is ... well, the kindest term might be "free spirit". There is not, so far as I know, any recognized field called Islamic Christianity studies within the traditional Islamic curriculum. There is, however, a doctrine called al-tahrif al-lafzi, the corruption of the text, which says that differences between the accounts of Biblical history in the Qur'an, and such accounts as found in the Torah and the New Testament, are due to Jews and Christians having corrupted divinely revealed texts. Tahrif al-lafzi is discussed in the Quran article and also in Similarities between the Bible and the Qur'an. It would probably be considered a subset of the traditional Islamic sciences of tafsir and ulum.
As he often does, Striver seems to prefer not to work on already established articles (where he usually ends up in revert wars with the other editors), he just establishes his own articles on the same topic -- without consulting anyone. Instead of editing the Similarities article (which seems to have been extant for a long time and to have involved numerous editors, Striver has set up Islamic Christianity studies, Muslim comparative religionists, List of Muslim comparative religionists, Islamic view of the Bible, Islamic comparative religion, and so on. He sets up misspelled stubs which are either deleted or completely ignored.
What can be done? Myself, I'm in favor of setting a hard-coded limit on the number of new articles a user can create per month. Zora 23:07, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

popupsdev.js is a really useful script for our WikiProject, but I wondered if I could make a small request.

I've noticed that if you access a page through a redirect, and you try to bypass a redirect on the target page, the script will try to edit the original redirect page instead of the proper one.
If what I said is confusing, here's an example: The page Planck redirects to Max Planck. If I accessed the page through Planck instead of the proper Max Planck, then the script will try to "fix" Planck instead of correcting the link on Max Planck. -- Ixfd64 04:20, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your note, you're going back a while though as its been a long time since I edited that article. The changes I made were based on common general knowledge obtained over a long time from a vaiety of sources. I don't have any specific references to note. There is a fair bit of work to do on that article though as it is still a bit simplistic.

I must confess, I'm really awful at citing my sources. This was sort of on my agenda, I was going to add all of these cricketing names and then add a link at the bottom afterwards when I ran through them again which basically said the following:
The one thing that confused me about the sourcing at the time, was that I'm sure way back when we had a template for Cricinfo sourcing, but I cannot recall what it looked like. I wasn't going to start doing these soon, as it seemed a large project to undertake, but since you mentioned it, I will start tackling them as soon as possible. As it stands, I don't really have a project which is close to completion (I'm currently working through County Cricketers) but I will add as many of these sources as possible.
Thank you for noting this. As I have said, this is one of my many problems, remembering when and what to source. I promise to get it sorted very soon. Bobo192 05:58, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

I find the current popup tooltip help is full of fallacies of definition. For instance, the help for "null edit" is "make a null edit to <article name>".

Current concensus:
They seem pretty good to me. I don't think mentioning Special:Watchlist is helpful for neophytes; "my watchlist" is probably better. You can find a definition of a null edit here. When I do use them, it's mainly to update Special:Whatlinkshere and the Image links section on image pages when they get out of synch due to mediawiki bugs. There may be other uses that I'm not aware of, though. Lupin| talk| popups 00:20, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

You recently sent me a message claiming I vandalized the Allied Precise Gunmen article. However, I was merely reverting vandalism done by others by means of posting knowingly false information and clearly POV material.
Are you going to send that to me for all the hundreds of stubs i've made over the years? How about I give you a list and then you can spam my talk page several thousand times with it all at once, rather than doing it piecemeal.

I have provided an inline link for the list of the largest artificial non-nuclear explosions, which I have added to the end of the section about the 2005 Hertfordshire Oil Storage Terminal fire, as per your request on my user talk page.

Hello Lupin! Thanks for the compliments on my work on the Fantastics article. I am sorry but I do not have specific sources for that article. I used to have on my User Page (before I basically quit editing on Wikipedia) a message about why. I used to keep about 5+ notebooks full of pro wrestling notes such as title changes, wrestler stats, etc. from watching wrestling from the early 1980's until early 2005. I created several articles from what I saw on the actual TV shows and from old wreslting magazines such as Pro Wrestling Illustrated, Inside Wrestling and others. So, I don't have any specific sources. You can verify most of my information with any google search and just check pages or any of those wrestling titles sites as well. Sorry and thanks again for the compliments! phatcat68 22:33, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

ret.push(s.replace(RegExp('([-|.()\\+:!,?*^${}\\[\\]])', 'g'), '\\$1'));
This line takes the string s, and escapes all the odd regex characters with backslashes. It then appends this strings to the array ret.
window.badWords=RegExp("<td class=['\"]diff-addedline['\"]>.*(([^-{}.\s'=wI:*#0-9A-F])\\2{2,}|\\b(" + ret.join('|') + ")[\\b\\|]).*</td>", 'im');
This line joins all the strings in the array ret with a pipe character ( ret.join("|") ), so that this part of the regex will match any one of them. It then puts a little context in (so that we only match new bits of the diff) and makes a regex from that string, which is stored as window.badWords. Lupin| talk| popups 02:03, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Another two questions regarding autoedits: (1) Could we have an option to include the string "rv " at the beginning of the edit summary during autoreverts? (2) Is it possible to make the autorevert procedure prompt for a few words of explanation and make the edit summary read, e.g. "rv unsourced claim; Popups-assisted reversion to revision 31912413" where the explanatory words are "unsourced claim"? -- Eddi ( Talk) 04:52, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Comparing the summaries of the popup reversion tool with "traditional" reversion summaries, I wonder if the script has access to and could use variables like author and/or time stamp of the version that is being restored. --

Hi! I've started using your script and it seems to work fine. Now I've got a couple of comments and questions. (BTW, do you prefer it on your talk page or the script's discussion page?) First, I would like to copy the script to no: and nn: – see /popups.js#Copying to other wikis – and probably need some input from you. Next, it seems like the popups are the same for diff, history and article links. Is that the way it should be, or should we get a diff popup over diff links and a history popup over history links? Thanks. -- Eddi ( Talk) 04:37, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi again! I am now using the dev version and have a few more comments – although I don't know if they are specific to dev since I didn't use the stable version for very long before switching. I have also translated the dev version to Norwegian as popups-nn.js and popups-no.js, which work fine at nn: and no: but somewhat differently than at en:. I have used IE 6.0 in Windows XP pro, Opera 8.5 in SuSE Linux, and Firefox 5.0 in SuSE Linux.

Kate has changed the dbname values from e.g. enwiki and nnwiki to enwiki_p and nnwiki_p.

I was thinking after trying your filter recent changes script whether there was a way to filter for strings of capital letters. If it is possible, I'm sure that could be a nice addition to the bad word filter. If the scripts use java, all that would take is a simple check to see looping say, through the first 3 letters only as to not overload the system (the rest would probably be assumed capital letters) to see if when the individual character of each string is converted to its numerical form, whether it is within the range of capital letters (I don't know what that range is off the top of my head).

I think that transclusion of javascript pages should be enabled, so that the whole javascript is loaded in one request, but developers seem to consider it unsafe [84].
The other thing, using it to include other pages than user .js pages. That might not be a very good idea. We probably don't want people to include javascript from unprotected pages. But, since we may want to have some sort of approved scripts in the future, I registered User:Tools, which we could use for that purpose, i.e. include_js("Tools/Popups").

First I want to say you frikin' rock. This thing is great, better than whatever was better before sliced bread. I have a question though. When I preview my user page I see it as it appeared before my last edit. Just to test it I removed a section and then saved the page. The text that I removed still shows up in the preview. My guess is you are actually pulling the previews from the server cache or something. Am I right about that? It's not really a big deal, and if it is coming from cache then I realize there is probably not much you can do about it. I'm just curious is all.

Ok, it may be difficult to see in the thumbs, but the text in the preview that starts with "Word usage" is in section 3.2 of the page. The preview skips over the first paragraph and and 3.1 more sections before it grabs any text. The refresh issue is not as big a deal to me as this text skipping. I'm not bitching or anything, I'm just trying to help get the kinks worked out cause I really enjoy using this tool.-- ◀Puck talk▶ 14:51, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Made some changes. Wondering if there is a way to allow for an edit this function —concievably something similar to how the fix redirect function works, only it does not engage the save button - ie. it opens the editor and just finds the word the mouse was pointing to. ? - MagnaMopus 06:50, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Popups ideas: 1) Allow disambiguations to show more lines in preview (2x current) 2) Allow autofix of disambig links, based on the 'fix redirect' function:
Foo may refer to: * Foobar (fix) * Foobles (fix)
For easier visual flow I'd suggest highlighting the updating rows with a color and/or box, and putting after the toggle link a "clear" or "restart" link. Which would clear all the results and start fresh; essentially its a Recent IP link to restart things. Because if you get distracted with something for a few minutes you know what you are looking at isn't new and you can either to go the trouble of finding the most recent toogle at the bottom, or going up and clicking Recent IP's again. - Roy Boy 800 00:11, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Would it be possible to allow the user the choice of edit counters? I find Interiot's tool to be a bit nicer than Kates.... my suggestion is a new preference var which defaults to 'kate' but when set to 'interiot' uses this tool:

(that way the var value is just substituted into the URL as they are otherwise the same) Why? Interiot's tool is much more feature rich, I think, although it's based off Kate's.
Also, while I have your ear, if you can cram in a link to this tool:

If you look at the diffs, it appears that the first revert missed the second vandal edit, for some reason. I thought that it might be some sort of race condition with the Wiki software (like the revert edit got saved into history after the vandal edit, but applied to the article before it), but kmccoy said he thought it that the first revert "was started in popups before the second vandalism, but didn't actually happen on wikipedia until after it (since it happens client-side.)", so it could be something in the Popups. I thought you might want to take a look at what happened. -- AySz88^ - ^ 05:58, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Some actions in the popup menu don't warrant the opening of a page, e.g. watch or unwatch (in my opinion). Other actions typically warrant a new window or tab with the respective action, such as edit actions, particularly when the link is a page and the action is a talk page (or vice versa).

Hello. I've got a several questions that I've been meaning to ask you for a while.
1) Has anybody using Firefox ever reported that they had increased RAM use when using your popups? I'd like to use your popups because they're obviously useful, and people keep asking me how my tools interact with yours, and because I've got more tools to write that would be enhanced by the popups. But my work machine only has 256mb RAM, and it really seems like Firefox seems to leak or otherwise use a lot of memory when I have the popups activated (particularly when I look at Special:Contributions with limit=5000 or something).
2) Is adding new links to the popups relatively straightforward? You just use DOM to insert things into the popup area? Haza-w created this to add my counter, and very similar code could be used to link to my contribution tree tool?
3) (more of a wish-list than a question, feel free to skip) There's two features in particular that I would like to see wider use of, and eventually I'd like to see it added to MediaWiki itself. I don't know if you've played around with my contribution tree tool very much, but one of its core features is the ability to list a single person's contributions to a single page ( for example). That's something that would be nice to be triggered from history views, either via popups, or perhaps by MediaWiki itself.
The second feature is that I think one should be able to jump from this or this sort of view into this view (eg. where the first version on the list is the one you started with... it makes it easier to jump from the Special:Contributions list for a specific person into the middle of a page-specific history). I don't think that sort of thing is currently possible with MediaWiki? If not, the popup might be able to help do that? -- Interiot 19:04, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Weather radar.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{ GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Hi! Have you experienced a switch from default 3 days to default 12 hours watchlist recently? It happened to me and others at no: on Thursday (not improved yet) and at nn: today. No problems at en: so far. Do you think it could be related to monobooks.js or popups.js? Personally I doubt it, because I use the same scripts (the stable version) at no: and nn: and I don't think it explains a 5 days lagtime between initiation of the problem. Any other explanations you could think of? Thanks. -- Eddi ( Talk) 23:53, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi,
I've used the UK map with a yellow dot which you uploaded for Keynsham on the Chew Valley Lake page as it's only a few miles up the road - is this OK or is a new map with a (very) slightly different location dot needed? If so, I don't think I have the knowledge/technology to do this & wuld appreciate any help Rod 21:42, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Very cool tool.
I think more useful than "lastEdit" would be "lastContrib", especially when checking for vandalism. Often a user makes a series of edits in a short time span and simply looking at the diff for the last edit won't reveal all of the changes, only the last one. This is particularly true because if a significant edit was made and then the user noticed a typo or formatting issue that they immediately corrected, only the typo correction would be displayed. To determine if the last edit reflects all of the changes made by the last person to edit the file, you need to look at the history. So my request is for a "lastContrib" menu item that shows a diff between the last user (contributor) to edit the file and the first edit in the history made by a different user. (BTW, I realize doing this is probably not completely straight forward as lastEdit and all of the other current menu items use URLs that don't require any inspection of dynamic content such as the history, but given how responsive it is fetching the page stats, I'm guessing that the delay until the lastContrib menu item was displayed would be acceptable.)
Another possibly useful addition would be to have a "sinceMe" command that would be displayed for pages the user has editted. This would bring up a diff of all changes to the page since the last change from the current user. This would be EXTREMELY nice when going over links on your watchlist. – Doug Bell talk• contrib 12:26, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

I was actually thinking about this: detect when you are in preview mode and make the fix redirect and fix dab links for links in the preview alter the current edit box instead of the raw text from the server.

Hey there,
Is there a way to cause popups-assisted reversion edit summaries to reflect the name of the user that authored the version being reverted to, rather than the numeric rv id? Numeric ID's generate some confusion for other editors when reviewing edit summaries.

Lupin -- the popups are a great tool! Thanks for doing this. One minor suggestion, for fixing double-redirects. Suppose "[[Foo]]" is a redirect to "[[Bar]]" and "[[Bar]]" is a redirect to "[[Baz]]". If I am on the [[Foo]] page and use the pop-up to fix the redirect, it wants to change #REDIRECT [[Bar]] to #REDIRECT [[Baz|Bar]]. The |Bar part isn't necessary in this context and might be confusing to anyone else who is tracing redirects. -- Russ Blau (talk) 13:36, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi Lupin. Thanks for letting me know about the popups tool. I tried it out for a while, and did find it useful. However, it was also a bit annoying: I found the popups worked only haphazardly; they often appeared when I didn't want them, or at times, wouldn't when I did. I think they may also have slowed my use of Wikipedia. I might return to them though. Thanks again, -- Cyberjunkie | Talk 10:05, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
Is it possible to provide a setting so that you can click on un|watch and it'll remove/add the item to your watchlist without having to go to another page?

Hi Lupin, sorry to bug ya, but I've been playing around with my monobook.js and I'd like to know if it's possible to use both your popups and Essjay's monobook.js stuff (adding links, tabs, etc.).

When I try to open the submenus (actions, user, etc.) on the popups, they close immediately, because there's a one-pixel gap between the link and the sub-popup, so as I scroll down to click on something in the sub-popup, I move across empty space and the sub-popup disappears. — Omegatron 05:13, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi Lupin. I made some changes to your current article regex in my local copy of popups.js. It allows spaces at the beginning of the link as well, since I've seen such links get missed by your tool.

Mike Dillon 23:20, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
Would you happen to know how to make a firefox extension? It would be very simple and used to fight vandalism. The basic idea is to feed RC diff's into firefox, and let it determine which pages contain text (such as an obscenity) listed in a file. For pages that don't contain anything on this list, the tab is closed. The others remain open and ready to be examined. If you can't figure out how to hookup the IRC RC output into firefox, then it could be used with CDVF to open new tabs in firefox to be checked. I found a guide to making extensions, but it says you need to know Javascript. Thanks. — BRIAN 0918 • 2005-10-30 03:45
User:Pile0nades had this to say:
You could try this code for loading the diffs:
function getDiffLinks(){ var links = document.getElementById("a"); var diffs = []; var c = 0; //counter variable // this will go through all links in the page looking for diff links and add them to the diffs array for(var i=o; i<links.length; i++){ if(links[i].innerHTML="diff") { diffs[c] = links[i].href; c++; } } // this will open the diffs in new tabs for(var i=0; i<diffs.length; i++) { window.open(diffs[i]); } }
If you have the Tab Mix Plus extension, you can set new windows to open in tabs.

... for when you get around to extracting bits of pages for the popups: it would be brilliant if there was a popup menu on the username in the top bar that listed all the pages in one's userspace, for one-click access to sandboxes etc.
In the meantime, it would be good enough if the menu displayed a certain page from the user's userspace, say, User:XY/Popup links, so that any user could construct a customized shortcut menu. Zocky 20:19, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

I should also let you know that NullC is working on a truly unprecedented anti-vandal bot. He says that he took all the database histories, looked for the changes between any "Reverted edits from X to Y", and ran a bayes scan on all of them, to turn it into sort of a junkmail filter for vandalism. If it ever comes to life, it will probably be the last anti-vandalism tool we'll ever need, but he gave no indication as to when it would be done, or if he was in the process of starting it, so it could be months or years. Until then, I'm sure your tool will be do the trick for catching most of the vandalisms not caught by other tools. — BRIAN 0918 • 2005-11-1 05:05

First off, let me thank you for developing such a wonderful tool. I swear by it. After using the latest version(s) of popups.js for a while, I decided to revert back to an older version, one without pulldowns. The pulldown menus were driving me mad and causing problems when the popup window would appear on the right of the screen. For example, if hovering over certain text on the far right of the screen while reviewing two article diffs, parts of the popup pulldown window would be cut off and inaccessible. A similar problem would happen if the text is at the bottom of the screen as well. The other reason I've reverted back is that I preferred the simplicity of having everything I needed in one popup, rather than having to navigate and mouse over to an additional pulldown menu to initiate a task. The version I switched back to is the one you released on September 25, 2005 at 13:14:45 EDT; is this the most recent version before pulldowns were added?

Hi Lupin, you must rue the day you wrote popups.js with all these requests for new features. Well, just to cheer you up, here's another =:-) When hovering over a link near the right hand edge of the browser the popup window 'snaps' back in so that it is fully visible. This doesn't happen if links are close to the bottom (in Firefox at any rate). Any chance that this could be fixed so that the popup window 'snaps' up so that it is fully visible? I know that I can shift-drag it if need be, but this would be a nice feature to match the behaviour at the right browser edge. Thanks. -- Cactus.man ✍ 20:08, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

I won't bother with the thread this time, but it would be nice if you could respond on my talkpage, since it's really hard for me to keep track of all the comments I post. Thanks a lot.
It would be pretty nice if you could add a delete link to your navigational popups. I know what you may be thinking: 'why delete something if you haven't even seen it yet?' Keep in mind, though, that MediaWiki provide [rollback] even in places where the admin may not have seen the diff. Also, some articles have blatantly inappropriate titles, an obviously usefool application.

Also, NullC has released a bot for #wikipedia-en-vandalism on Freenode IRC called 'roomba'. It essentially does the same thing as your tool, but it works database-side, so that it doesn't produce the same server load as your tool. You may want to talk with him. — BRIAN 0918 • 2005-11-12 15:01
It appears that your ani-vandal tool causes each person using it to have the servers generate a difference of each edit in recent changes. Is this correct?
If it is, the tool is a problem. Differences are not cached, are high CPU load to generate and the site performance is currently CPU-limited on the Apache servers which generate the difference. Graph illustrates this, showing the Apache CPUs at 100% use (with variation due to uneven load balancing) for many hours at peak times. Having tens or hundreds of people producing difs of the same thing at those times isn't a good thing. If diff results were cached, it wouldn't matter, but they aren't, at present.
What would be useful is some way for a single person to generate and make the results available to all. Server-side scripting or a tag added by the MediaWiki software would be one way to do that, without significant CPU cost. Or some other way for one client to generate the dif and share the results with others. Ideal would be someone adding code to cache the difs though. Jamesday 15:33, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
I guess the 'roomba' in the IRC vandalism channel is the one that you wrote. At the moment, it catches additions of speedy notices to articles but it ignores the removal of CSDs. It would be good if it tracks them too. thanks, Tintin 15:35, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

The reverting function works properly on the new version! Thanks!
However, there is another problem. The script will result in an error unless I put my cursor over certain links first. For example, if I put my cursor over a "diff" link first, the popup will not show up, and I will get the "error on page" message on my browser. However, if I put my cursor over a link to an editable page first, and then move my cursor to a "diff" link, it will work properly. -- Ixfd64 01:21, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

The flags are lists of characters which affect how the match is made, for example 'g' for global (replace all matches, not just the first), 'i' for case-insensitivity and so on. Also, the forward slashes can be replaced with any other character. Use \n for a newline. For example, using

A couple of suggestions for the popups, the one I suspect is easier first.
Amid an ongoing peer review of the article on The Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation, I would please like you to read my comments for its improvement, then examine the article as a whole and see whether you agree with me.
I'm asking you, because you started the article on the Care Bears a year before I joined Wikipedia ( March 18, 2004). This is to ensure all hopes of its featured status in the near future.
Please leave your response on its peer review page by clicking the above link. -- Slgrandson 17:24, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi Lupin. What do you think about adding a "touch" link? This link would perform a "touch" or "null edit" via autoedit. I looked into adding it myself, but the link generation stuff was a little complicated to make a simple change. The touch functionality is useful for working around certain MediaWiki bugs associated with the "What links here" functionality. You probably know, but it is done manually by making an "edit" with no changes and clicking "Save Page" without an edit summary. It seems like it would be a lot like the "Bypass redirect" functionality, except with no change or edit summary. Let me know what you think. Mike Dillon 19:37, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Hey there,
I was wondering how your rollback feature adds a talk link after the IP address. My rollback button seems to only include the IP, but no talk link.

Please can you have a look at bugzilla:4151. It appears that running the popups (I use the classic layout if that makes a difference) prevents the link "Show extended details" on the compact metadata table on image description pages from working. Thryduulf 02:46, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I generated the Edo stub by looking at other Wikipedia articles (namely "Hojo Ujitsuna" and "Uesugi Tomooki" (the two commanders at that battle)). That brings me to an important question. What is Wikipedia's policy on internal citation (i.e. citing other wikipedia articles)?
Hello, good work on Space warfare, and thanks for the contribution. However, you forgot to add any references to the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. From what websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Space warfare? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? You can simply add links, or there are several different citation methods list at WP:CITET. Thanks! Lupin| talk| popups 20:06, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Lupin - The popup disambiguation tool is truely great, so far its worked like a charm! Thanks a lot! The only thing I've noticed is that it lets you try and fix disambiguation links on Special Pages (like "What links here"). I haven't tried it to see what happens. --best, kevin ··· Kzollman | Talk··· 00:23, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
Lupin!! KZollman pointed me to your fabulous dab tool within popups! Works great. :-) I think I've performed over 1,000 dab corrections using the tool. The only thing I have to do manually is when a link is redirected to a disambig page. I have to find and fix those manually (or temporarily redirect the redirect page to the dab page and use your awesome tool). ;-) An example is Keyboard. Keyboards redirects to Keyboard which is a disambiguation page. So, there were a couple hundred links to Keyboards which most of them should have been Keyboard instrument. Even though the popup tool shows the ability to dab the link, it doesn't find it cause it is looking for the wrong wiki tag :-). All-in-all, a freaking great addition to any toolbox!!!! >: Roby Wayne Talk • Hist 01:13, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
On RC patrol I often see meagre little articles on English villages which aren't deletable, but in themselves just look sad and unloved. Adding one of your "dotty maps" invariably makes a "what is this article doing here?" article look like an article which, given some TLC, could go places. Have a well-deserved barnstar, and keep up the good work! Tonywalton | Talk 21:36, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
Just a note about the use of this template. It is generally intended for articles that are specifically problematic, not just any that are missing references. Adding it to every unreferenced article has been rejected in numerous discussions. Also it is not meant to go at the top of articles. If yu look at the talk page of the template, it is universally agreed that it belongs either on the talk page or at the bottom of articles. - SimonP 14:07, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
I changed the subtitle "External links" to "References" in the hope to satisfy your complaint. Please check it again and remove your insertion if it is OK. Otherwise let me know what else to do. Thanks. CeeGee 14:11, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
The sources for the information contained in the Luard article will essentially be verifiable from the articles that the Luard article will link to, most notably the Oxford West and Abingdon and Oxford (UK Parliament constituency) pages. The Oxwab article is already sourced, and as I build the Oxford article, it will also be fully sourced. Is this sufficient to qualify as "referenced"? -- New Progressive 15:47, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Lupin's comment on Sam Vimes' talk page
OK - the rationale behind it is that the content is transcluded onto Lancashire County Cricket Club in 2005, Middlesex County Cricket Club in 2005 and so on. The third-level headings is simply to get correct headings on this page - and the Lancashire v Middlesex 18 September 2005 really shouldn't stand on its own (articles like those were originally placed as a subpage of Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket, then moved to subpages of 2005 English cricket season, and now they stand woefully alone but are probably going to be merged within the next week or so. I realise that it makes the article look rather odd and non-standard, but the alternative is making the "county cricket club..."-pages look even worse, which I don't want since it's the transcluded pages I want people to read. Having said all that, it's probably a system that gives the editors of these articles more headaches and arguments than it's good for, and we're thinking of a new one at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket. Oh, and thanks for those lovely pop-ups :) Sam Vimes 12:16, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
I wonder if it would be possible to teach the popups to open their links in a new window (or tab)? Controlled by a new variable, of course. -- jpgordon ∇∆∇∆ 15:49, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
I noticed you added the "unsourced" template to the St. George's Bay article which I created several hours ago. I'm not quite sure how to source the article, as everything I wrote is publicly available on any map of this region in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Plasma east 04:36, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
First of all, brilliant work. A cartload of barnstars.
I was thinking... the action links are a bit visually overwhelming, especially when one is just reading the encyclopaedia and is primarily interested in the preview. The simplest thing to do is to give them a separate css class from the preview, so that they can be changed to a lighter colour. Another great thing would be if we could come up with some sensible way to make all the action links fit onto one line (as an option of course). Zocky 06:21, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

I looked at the source and I see that the thing is quite flexible. I played a bit and came up with an idea for the layout of popups that should do what I want without being cryptic (ignore the choice of colors, of course):
That would be the basic popup for a non-admin user hovering over a link to an article. Additional links for other cases could be put after related changes, so that the top bar always stays the same. How does it look? Zocky 01:10, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi! I am trying your Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups with .js and .css files as given in the article.
When I hover over a link, the popup occurs correctly, but I then gat a constant "Error on page" message in my status bar at bottom left. It stays there until I hover over a new link, then the popup comes up OK, then the error message again. I'm on IE6 SP2 Windows XP Prof. Thanks! -- Sitearm | Talk 00:39, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
I get the same error on IE, whenever any popup appears I get the "Error on page" message in the status bar. Double-clicking on that message produces the following details:
Line: 1 Char: 51 Error: Expected ';' Code: 0 URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Lupin
I got the same error and the same details on two different machines, both running IE6 SP2. You probably find this as unhelpful as I do (particularly as I couldn't find any line with 51 characters in any place that seemed relevant), but here it is for what it's worth. -- Russ Blau (talk) 14:34, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
I get the same error (Error: Expected ';') when hovering over links in IE6 on WinXP/SP2. The popup appears but with no popup menus when hovering over the popup title. The popup menus should appear because I'm not specifying any values for simplePopups and popupStructure. If I set popupStructure=menu, I still get no popup menus. If I set popupStructure=original, all the navigation links appear correctly, but I still get the above javascript error. I hope this gives you a little more info on this problem. Thanks -- Bruce1ee 14:45, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
I get this error too, both on XP and on Win2k machines, using IE6.0. Owen× ☎ 11:01, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
OK, next thing I notice are strange little pictures in some of the popups. For example, on User:Lupin a bluebell (flower) shows in the popup. On Wikipedia:Help desk, a green chameleon (lizard) shows up in the popup. They are about 60x80px in size and do not appear on the actual page when opened. Is this deliberate from your program, or something from the pages? It occurs on some but not all pages.
P.S. On article pages that do have pictures, such as Wikipedia:Image sleuthing, the icon (correctly) matches the first picture in the article. -- Sitearm | Talk 03:01, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
I've noticed a thing about the popups that has great potential to help improve Wikipedia's content, once they come into widespread use. The fact that the popup shows a part of the linked page, opens up the question of what we put in that part, thus forcing some standardization of articles. In what form will they standardize depends directly on how the popup content is chosen, so it should be given some thought.
Here are some of my ideas about how it should work (in an ideal world where everything programs itself :P). Some of these would probably work best if mediawiki helped serve them.
I haven't looked at the javascript much apart from the layout bits. Would getting different bits of info for different links like this require major changes in the implementation? Zocky 11:54, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

I've edit-protected your excellent popups.js page, as a significant number of users seem to be using it. Rationale: If vandals were to edit the .js page, this would open users running it to a variety of potential abuses. I think you're a sysop, so you shouldn't have any problem continuing to edit it. However, if you're not, just send me a message, and I'll try to work something out. -- Karada 17:11, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
I just installed your script and it looks great. I am very impressed. As a Turkish Wikipedian I tried in Turkish Wikipedia and works ok. But. The name of the user space is not "User:" in tr Wikipedia and your script searches for string "User:" to understand what the type of page is. As a result in tr wikipedia your script thinks all pages are 0 namespace ie. article and doesnt show special attributes if you hover on a user link. So is it possible to define namespace variables in users monobook.js first and pass this variables to yoor main script. So your main script will only use this variable names instead hard wired "User:" string or any other this kind. So each wikipedian from other wikis can edit his namespace names in monobook.js and it will work. Of course it should support Unicode. Thanks again for this great script. -- Dbl2010 01:06, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

I have only accidently stumbled upon the popups a few days ago, and it shall be a day I bless for the rest of my wiki life. but i seem to be having a few problems.
Okay, before I start, I have literally no idea of what I am talking about, so please excuse any incorrect names ect. Also, sorry if my complete noobishness makes your head explode with confusion (that tends to happen a lot to me)
I followed the instructions on setting it up and the popups were perfect for a while, but soon i lost the edit,hist,count ect options from the popups. I ignored it thinking that something may just be being fiddled with, but at least a day later and it has not rectified itself. Also, the colour scheme has gone all-to-whack and reverted itself back to orange. I have checked my history pages and nothing has been tampered with. Could you help? thanks Tekana (O.o) Talk 18:55, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi. You added the {{ unsourced}} template to Cooper's Creek. I've checked the Geoscience Australia website, changed the name of the article to Cooper Creek and added the coordinates which links to a page with links to many maps.

I agree that phrase sounds POV (I didn't write it). It's probably true - most people have heard of it, but I don't know whether I know anybody who's seen it - especially not in flood. I'll see if I can find a reference about flows. The Burke and Wills bit it is described in that article. -- Scott Davis Talk 13:05, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
I don't know if you were going through systematically and looking to fix change any sports-related links to league to link to league system, but I noticed the one at official scorer. Unfortunately the league system article is totally inadequate, so I created a sports league page, since a sports league is different from a league system. So if you're going to make any more changes to links to league that should be disambiguated, feel free to link them to sports league instead. Kevin M Marshall 22:06, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi Lupin. Thanks for the popup script. I've enhanced the September 25 version to optionally include the last modified date with the text preview. This is done by retrieving the Last-Modified HTTP response header with Downloader.http.getResponseHeader and storing it with the cached page entries. In raw download mode, this header is set by the MediaWiki software to the last modification date of the article content.
Please have a look at this diff. If you want, I will try to integrate these changes with the October 3 version of the popups.js script. Mike Dillon 04:50, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry to bother you, but you're the only javascript guru I know. This is a simple request, as I don't know much javascript, I took the "auto afd" script that helps to automate the process of sending an entry to AFD and then modified so it would help to automate the afd closing. So I started with the del version. I think (I think) I got it right, but I can't get the link with the tab at top to show up, could you give a quick look at User:Drini/monobook.js and tell me what went wrong? I didn't delete anthing, just added, but now not even the tab at top for "Afd" is showing up anymore. Maybe the problem is with the even listeners, but I really don't know what's going on. -- ( ☺drini♫| ☎) 05:09, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
Using emacs, c-mode and M-x indent-region, I found an error in your code: the braces don't match. I think the problem is that this is invalid:
if (stuff) { otherStuff(); moreStuff(); } else somethingHere(); }
and should be one of these instead:
if (stuff) { otherStuff(); moreStuff(); } else somethingHere();
or
if (stuff) { otherStuff(); moreStuff(); } else { somethingHere(); }
My suggestion what you probably want for that function is
function autocloseafd() { if (document.title.indexOf('Editing ') == 0) { var action = ''; var target = ''; if (location.search) { var l = location.search.substring(1).split('&'); for (var i = 0; i < l.length; ++i) { var eq = l[i].indexOf('='); var name = l[i].substring(0, eq); if (name == 'fakeaction') action = l[i].substring(eq + 1); else if (name == 'faketarget') target = unescape(l[i].substring(eq + 1)).replace(/_/g, ' '); } } if (action == 'closeafddel') { document.editform.wpTextbox1.value = 'deleted per [[' + 'Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/' + target + ']]'; document.editform.wpSummary.value = 'deleted per [[' + 'Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/' + target + ']]'; } else document.editform.wpTextbox1.value += '===[[' + target + ']]===\n' + 'Reason for nomination. ~~' + '~~\n*\n*\n*\n'; } else add_link('javascript:closeafd()', 'c/afd'); }

Hi Lupin. Spotted the link to your fantastic tool this morning on my watchlist where someone had used it for a dab fix. It's great - thanks for all your work with this! Just one suggestion (couldn't see any other ref to this particular suggestion on your talk page - apologies if I'm duplicating a request...). If you use it to auto dab, the edit summary includes a link to the tool (which, as I mentioned, is how I found out about it). However, if you use it to auto-fix a redirect, the edit summary doesn't automatically include a link. Could a link be added? Unfortunately I wouldn't have the first clue how to go about implementing something like this... Regards, CLW 07:54, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi Lupin, just dropping you a quick note to say a HUGE THANKS for your fantastic js work with this tool. How did I ever manage without it? It is absolutely brilliant and cuts out several page clicks of navigation for some tasks.
I have one question though, are there any other undocumented parameters that can affect the interface and mode of operation such as:
Thanks in advance. -- Cactus.man ✍ 10:13, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
I haven't checked, but does your popup have a search feature that will search for the link text? This would really speed up work for the Wikipedia:Missing articles folks. — BRIAN 0918 • 2005-10-18 04:32
Hi again. I must say that after initial doubts I have warmed up to the idea of a menu for actions. However, the way it's implemented now, it makes it hard to get to the links in the preview, because the menu drops once you move the mouse over the title. The easiest way to remedy this would be to add a link named "actions" and display it just like the "user" link is now displayed for user subpages. That way the menu would drop only when the user wanted it to drop.
An alternative strategy might be to align the dropped menu to the right, so that it disapears if the user only passes over the title with the mouse (as this will usually happen near the left border of the preview). Zocky 16:35, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I just installed the pop-up navigation tool and it reads 0 categories for every page I have tried previewing. I'm running Mozilla 1.0.7 and Windows 2000. The problem also happens when I run IE. Just to let you know about the bug.-- Bkwillwm 16:32, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
Lupin -- the popups are a great tool! Thanks for doing this. One minor suggestion, for fixing double-redirects. Suppose "[[Foo]]" is a redirect to "[[Bar]]" and "[[Bar]]" is a redirect to "[[Baz]]". If I am on the [[Foo]] page and use the pop-up to fix the redirect, it wants to change #REDIRECT [[Bar]] to #REDIRECT [[Baz|Bar]]. The |Bar part isn't necessary in this context and might be confusing to anyone else who is tracing redirects. -- Russ Blau (talk) 13:36, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I hope you can answer my questions.
Cordially yours, Shinobu 00:11, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
a nice one then please let me know and I'll make the default for IE.
Thanks for the link to The Manual. I see it has lots more interesting options. As for the dot problem, the following works for me, both in IE and in Firefox:
popupNavLinkSeparator = ' · ';
Cordially yours, Shinobu 04:47, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
There seems to be a little flaw in the code. You see, I got the ActiveX working by assigning wikipedia.org to it's own security zone and activated safe for scripting ActiveX. That works, apart from the fact that the code breaks on the following line:
this.send = this.http.send;
Maybe because for ActiveX objects member functions are native, not JS, this line generates a "property does not exist"-error. Perhaps it is best to use a proxy in this case:
function httpProxySend(name) { return this.http.send(name); }
Assuming send returns anything that is. And use
this.send = httpProxySend;
in the case of an ActiveX. Maybe I'll toy around with it a bit and send you the solution if I get it working (if you want, that is). What do you use, a local copy on your own p.c., or have you got a scratch version somewhere else?
Cordially yours, Shinobu 06:34, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Okay, I'll check if it works; if it doesn't I'll try to toy around with a debugger. Actually being able to see on what line the script staggers and being able to look at variables, change them and continue, makes for easier problem fixing than having an other user execute it and asking "Does it work?". Shinobu 21:46, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
It works like magic. It doens't seem to have broken in Firefox either, always a good sign. I can only think of one minor improvement (very low priority though): a message of some kind in the case neither ActiveX nor standard HttpRequests can be created.
I would like to say again that it's an amazing script, and thanks for taking the trouble to make it work for me! Cordially yours, Shinobu 22:08, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
I think there should be extra brackets in the following bit of code (I've coloured them red):
String.prototype.parenSplit=function (re) { var m=re.exec(this); if (!m) return this; return [this.substring(0,m.index)] .concat(m.slice(1)) .concat(this.substring(m.index+m[0].length).parenSplit(re)); };
If I understand this correctly this function should emulate split (only not broken).
So if re is not matched, an array with a single element should be returned, not a string. Otherwise code that depends on the result being an array fails, crashing the script to the debugger.
As for the second part, given string "abcdefghi", re /def/ this would yield:
Note that ordinary split on IE or Firefox would return ["abc", "ghi"]. But I assume returning "def" also is intentional, so that's okay - only the red brackets should be added.
Cordially yours, Shinobu 03:06, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
for(var i=0; i<m.length; ++i) { if (typeof m[i]=='undefined') m[i]=''; }
This code might not be needed, since you're only using m[0] and m[0] is always a string: the re match.
Cordially yours, Shinobu 02:33, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
Yes, that makes a lot of sense. I should have thought of that.
// without this, we have // 'ab'.parenSplit(/a|(b)/) != 'ab'.split(/a|(b)/)
I've tested this, and it returns ["", "", "", "b", ""].
I've tested normal split with Firefox in JS1.2 mode, and it returns ["", "", "", "b"].
Either Firefox's JS1.2 is broken (while still returning the correct anser to your "abc".split(/(b)/) test) or you're not 100% there (although I wouldn't bother too much about that if it doesn't impact the rest of the script).
I have had the new script running for a while now, and it doesn't seem to crash any more. By the way, I'm working on a (small) watchlist tool. It's primary function is to show only the new edits since the tool was last run. Should I post it somewhere, or is this a) not useful to anyone but me or b) done before?
Cordially yours, Shinobu 04:05, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
@correct result: I agree.
One source of the confusion is a difference between what Firefox claims to do in the docs, and what it does in reality.
Modern version uses 1.5 by default, I think, and your script doesn't specify a version, so it'll be allright. Shinobu 16:44, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you want to fix the width of the popup on exactly 300 px, since they work without it, but if you want to do this, keep in mind that expressions cannot be set this way.
(documentation follows)
Sets an expression for the specified object.
object.setExpression(sPropertyName, sExpression [, sLanguage])
sPropertyName | Required. String that specifies the name of the property to which sExpression is added. | ||||||
sExpression | Required. String that specifies any valid script (JScript, JavaScript, VBScript) statement without quotations or semicolons. This string can include references to other properties on the current page. Array references are not allowed on object properties included in this script. | ||||||
sLanguage | Optional. String that specifies one of the following values:
|
No return value.
(my own comments follow)
I recommend not using the sLanguage parameter. Browsers seem to consider JScript a synonym for JavaScript anyway. I would further recommend a way to switch width fixing off, in case it's not wanted.
Cordially yours, Shinobu 19:00, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
The width seems to get properly fixed now. Cordially yours, Shinobu 11:16, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Your popup Javascript seems to work fine. The only strange thing I have noticed is that it insists on previewing the first image it finds on a page, regardless of where that image appears. This causes the previews for the Wikipedia:Two-million pool and Wikipedia:Five-million pool to include a picture of the Canadian flag. This puzzled me for a moment, but then I noticed that some user who has voted in the pools has the flag in his signature, but at a much smaller scale. — JIP | Talk 12:32, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Frustratingly, it still doesn't work at all using my iMac, despite both machines runnign the same version of Mac OS X and Safari. Any ideas on that one?! Cheers, UkPaolo 19:25, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi Lupin,
I don't normally edit other people's User pages, but in your watchlist you have a list of 318 categories, which made this page a member of each one of them...I'm sure that's not what you meant to do! If you want to have a link to a category without the page becoming a member of that category, you can use:
instead of:
(as you probably already know...) I took the liberty of applying this change to your list. I hope that's OK with you.

Hey Lupin, I love your pop-ups so much, they have literally changed the way I use Wikipedia. Not only that, I'm starting to get annoyed when I can't get such useful information out of ANY link I hover over, out there on the Interweb. :)
Anyway, I wanted to draw your attention to a question I posted at MediaWiki talk:Licenses, which is the source page for the new Licensing Selector on the Special:Upload page. Is it possible to create a javascript plug-in to easily insert image copyright tags, selected from a prepared list, into an image description page?

Thanks for the congrats, and up to now, the popups look great... Lectonar 07:11, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
As many have said before, your popups are great. However, I turned on the simplePopups option, because I feared the popups would put too much strain on the server. Do you have an idea how much the popups cost? I assume that every popup generates a request to the wikipedia servers, under my own user name. If this is true, then I'd prefer to use the simple popups: most of the time when a popup is generated, I do not actually want it, but my mouse pointer just happen to hover above a link. However, it might be nice to include an extra link in the simple popup, which can be used to expand it to the complete popup (containing the first paragraph of the target etc.). I hope I'm making sense; otherwise, ask me and I'll clarify. Cheers, and thanks for your work! -- Jitse Niesen ( talk) 11:59, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
Thanks. I tried it out, but unfortunately, it is not quite what I was thinking of. I just want a one-time toggle: if I hoover the mouse above a link, I want to get the simplePopup with links to edit, history, etc., and an extra link, which when I can click on it (or perhaps just touch it), expands the popup with a preview of the first paragraph. When I then move to a different link, I should get the simplePopup again.
I should also clarify my question about whether the scripts uses one's own account to get the wikitext. As I understand it (and my understanding is very incomplete), the bottleneck when the servers are under strain is the database. Every HTML request sent by a user results in at least one database query, but requests sent by an IP address without account can be served from a cache without any database query. So, I think the script would load the servers a bit less if the requests were made anonymously (the distinction between logged-in and anonymous is made based on cookies). I don't know whether action=raw changes this.
PS: You are making me very curious about how you discovered so fast that I was trying it out. Does that have to do with the mysterious comment that is perhaps not quite a comment? -- Jitse Niesen ( talk) 00:30, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
By the way, the editOld link when hoovering over diff links is extremely useful; thanks. -- Jitse Niesen ( talk) 01:15, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
I assume that you mean popupUnsimplifyLink=true. Now, I get a "Get preview data" button but nothing happens when I click it. Perhaps it's just that the server is too slow. I'll try again tomorrow when it should be better. Thanks anyway. -- Jitse Niesen ( talk) 17:13, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Okay, turns out I also have to set simplePopups to false. Now it works, great! Yes, this is what I was thinking of, though the delay is unfortunate. I'll try it out and let you know how useful it is. -- Jitse Niesen ( talk) 17:30, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

On RC patrol I often see meagre little articles on English villages which aren't deletable, but in themselves just look sad and unloved.

Just a note about the use of this template. It is generally intended for articles that are specifically problematic, not just any that are missing references. Adding it to every unreferenced article has been rejected in numerous discussions. Also it is not meant to go at the top of articles. If yu look at the talk page of the template, it is universally agreed that it belongs either on the talk page or at the bottom of articles. - SimonP 14:07, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

The sources for the information contained in the Luard article will essentially be verifiable from the articles that the Luard article will link to, most notably the Oxford West and Abingdon and Oxford (UK Parliament constituency) pages.

Hi, I have a couple of suggestions for the type of map demonstrated on the Dorchester article. Firstly, a small red dot on a green background is difficult for those with red/green colour blindness to find, white or yellow would probably stand out better. Second, have you considered whether to show the towns on maps the scale of the districts maps, e.g. Image:DorsetWest.png? I'm wondering if that might show the location with more accuracy (and fit in the table better). The second point is mere speculation however. Joe D (t) 01:47, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I just noticed the same problem at Image:Chesterfield - Derbyshire dot.png. The PNG file has an offset of some sort. You can see what I'm talking about by opening the file in the Gimp. I bet you used ImageMagick to crop the map? I've seen that cause this problem.
By the way, isn't it possible to position these dots with CSS? I'm pretty sure I've seen locator maps around that do it that way, with a map image and a dot image positioned on top. Would be much easier to maintain ... dbenbenn | talk 6 July 2005 03:44 (UTC)
Could you please try to fit the your maps in with the existing layout of the article. On some of the articles you've messed up the layout, by putting the map at the top and forcing down pictures that were already there.

The stub template used to have a very good image, but icons have been removed from all the heavy-use stub categories because of server problems (see [ [91]]).

Although I agree with your philosophy, I do not agree with how you went about changing the template. And now there's a lot of work to be done. ;) Since you wanted to keep the image, but add a little informative text, the best way is to have a bunch of text that you add into image summaries, and I've updated it accordingly. Your current implemntation was quite a horror.
But this requires all of the articles that were using it to be refactored. Here's what you can help (I've already done a lot, but it takes a long time and I need to go to bed now):
Some of the images are missing too... Anyway, thanks! Ambush Commander 03:21, May 1, 2005 (UTC)
The discussion at Talk:Lancaster (disambiguation) concerned moving the article to Lancaster, England, so that's the change I've recommended at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Assuming that's accomplished, I suggest you then take up the question of whether it should be at Lancaster, Lancashire. I mention this because I notice you moved the article there at one point. The discussion about where "Lancaster" should take a reader clearly didn't address those two different titles for the article about the English city. JamesMLane 22:10, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

In the meantime, I am going to blank it to avoid further problems.

Please understand - I am totally in favour of your dotty maps - every GB place article should have one. But - the proper way to produce these maps is by means of a program/script/engine that generates them dynamically, taking as input the co-ordinates and the map size. When one of your maps is displayed as a thumbnail the image is created dynamically by reducing the file you have uploaded. Only a small amount of extra effort (both in programming and in processing) would be required to add the dot to a blank map during this reduction process. This idea has already been suggested for Wikipedia - see this proposal.
But if you are going to use separate uploaded images, I have some suggestions:
Both the names and the lack of any index put off people who might be willing to collaborate and use an existing image file in an article. I would suggest a generic naming standard of GBdot_XX99 where XX99 is the grid reference of the 10 km square on which the dot is centred.
Under your naming method we would need separate maps for Coningsby and Tattershall. But if you call the map GBdot_TF25, it is obvious that one map will do for both those places and also for New York and a few other villages when Lincspoacher writes them up. Indeed, no one would notice if you used the same map for Boston, Martin, Timberland, Woodhall Spa, etc.
I like to add co-ordinates to any GB article that lacks them. I would be happy to add dotty maps as well - if they had sensible names. As a start, look at Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:GBdot-gr. One image file - a mere 12 kbytes in size is used in seven articles already - with several more needing to be written. -- RHaworth 17:54, 2005 May 8 (UTC)
If you don't like grid refs, use names based on steps of 5 mins of latitude and 10 mins of longitude.
I note that you have created category:GBdot but I still feel that it is a bit difficult for people to help you in adding maps to articles.
I hope your are watching

RHaworth 14:10, 2005 May 9 (UTC)The maths, although tedious, is only algebra and trigonometry. Work your way through this lot:

You may ask User:Rdsmith4 why he added that piece of small text in the first place. But I was attempting to make it clear.

Thanks for uploading Image:Olive baboon.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Until a more informative tag is provided, it will be listed as {{ no source}} or {{ no license}}. Could you add a better tag to let us know its source and/or copyright status? If you made the image yourself, an easy way to deal with this is add {{ GFDL}} if you're willing to release it under the GFDL. Alternatively, you could release all rights to it by adding {{ NoRightsReserved}}. This would allow anyone to do whatever they wish with your image, without exceptions. However, if it isn't your own image, you need to specify what free license it was distributed under. You can find a list of the tags here. If it was not distributed under a free license, but you claim fair use, add {{ fairuse}} but you need to substantiate your claim by explaining why you think it's fair use. If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images by posting to my talk page. If you do this, I can tag them for you. Thanks. RedWolf 05:20, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

Looks fine to me, but then again I'm the last person to ask when it comes to image layout. What you could do is replicate this popup in the Sandbox and fiddle with the wiki image attributes until it looks right, and then copy the HTML it generates. Simple!
Only problem is the images are downloading from the fullsize version, but the thumbnails aren't stored until they're rendered inline, so that's not an option. Unless you can pre-empt insertion on the Sandbox and then draw the thumbnail from there, but that would be too laggy... hmmm... it would still work though... anyway, that's still a great little feature despite the delay. :) Garrett Talk 22:19, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Markaci has this javascript code in his monobook that replaces the usual "--~~~~" that you get when you click the signature button with custom text. Is it possible for this generated text to include your edit count, so that each time you post, it lists your number of edits at the time of your post. Considering what you've already done with this popup, it seems like it should be possible, but I just don't know the syntax. Here's his code to make the signature:
// Signature fix. function sigFix () { document.getElementById("toolbar").innerHTML=document.getElementById("toolbar").innerHTML.replace('--~~' + '~~','CUSTOM_SIGNATURE_HERE'); } function reformatMyPage() { sigFix(); } if (window.addEventListener) window.addEventListener("load",reformatMyPage,false); else if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload",reformatMyPage);
Maybe that could even be implemented into your popup, so the number of edits are automatically listed for a user (would be turned off if simplePopups is on) -- BRIAN 0918 14:40, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
Can you help me format my custom sig correctly. I'm trying to stick in different font colors, but again there's a syntax problem:

This works properly, but I want to add <font color="#000000"> </font> around the text for the user page link, and <font color="#555555"> </font> around the user talk page link. Note: the font code has to be inside the wikilink, not outside it. -- BRIAN 0918 16:21, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

I hope you can answer my questions.
Cordially yours, Shinobu 00:11, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
a nice one then please let me know and I'll make the default for IE.
Thanks for the link to The Manual. I see it has lots more interesting options. As for the dot problem, the following works for me, both in IE and in Firefox:
popupNavLinkSeparator = ' · ';
Cordially yours, Shinobu 04:47, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
There seems to be a little flaw in the code. You see, I got the ActiveX working by assigning wikipedia.org to it's own security zone and activated safe for scripting ActiveX. That works, apart from the fact that the code breaks on the following line:
this.send = this.http.send;
Maybe because for ActiveX objects member functions are native, not JS, this line generates a "property does not exist"-error. Perhaps it is best to use a proxy in this case:
function httpProxySend(name) { return this.http.send(name); }
Assuming send returns anything that is. And use
this.send = httpProxySend;
in the case of an ActiveX. Maybe I'll toy around with it a bit and send you the solution if I get it working (if you want, that is). What do you use, a local copy on your own p.c., or have you got a scratch version somewhere else?
Cordially yours, Shinobu 06:34, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Okay, I'll check if it works; if it doesn't I'll try to toy around with a debugger. Actually being able to see on what line the script staggers and being able to look at variables, change them and continue, makes for easier problem fixing than having an other user execute it and asking "Does it work?". Shinobu 21:46, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
It works like magic. It doens't seem to have broken in Firefox either, always a good sign. I can only think of one minor improvement (very low priority though): a message of some kind in the case neither ActiveX nor standard HttpRequests can be created.
I would like to say again that it's an amazing script, and thanks for taking the trouble to make it work for me! Cordially yours, Shinobu 22:08, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
I think there should be extra brackets in the following bit of code (I've coloured them red):
String.prototype.parenSplit=function (re) { var m=re.exec(this); if (!m) return this; return [this.substring(0,m.index)] .concat(m.slice(1)) .concat(this.substring(m.index+m[0].length).parenSplit(re)); };
If I understand this correctly this function should emulate split (only not broken).
So if re is not matched, an array with a single element should be returned, not a string. Otherwise code that depends on the result being an array fails, crashing the script to the debugger.
As for the second part, given string "abcdefghi", re /def/ this would yield:
Note that ordinary split on IE or Firefox would return ["abc", "ghi"]. But I assume returning "def" also is intentional, so that's okay - only the red brackets should be added.
Cordially yours, Shinobu 03:06, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
for(var i=0; i<m.length; ++i) { if (typeof m[i]=='undefined') m[i]=''; }
This code might not be needed, since you're only using m[0] and m[0] is always a string: the re match.
Cordially yours, Shinobu 02:33, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
Yes, that makes a lot of sense. I should have thought of that.
// without this, we have // 'ab'.parenSplit(/a|(b)/) != 'ab'.split(/a|(b)/)
I've tested this, and it returns ["", "", "", "b", ""].
I've tested normal split with Firefox in JS1.2 mode, and it returns ["", "", "", "b"].
Either Firefox's JS1.2 is broken (while still returning the correct anser to your "abc".split(/(b)/) test) or you're not 100% there (although I wouldn't bother too much about that if it doesn't impact the rest of the script).
I have had the new script running for a while now, and it doesn't seem to crash any more. By the way, I'm working on a (small) watchlist tool. It's primary function is to show only the new edits since the tool was last run. Should I post it somewhere, or is this a) not useful to anyone but me or b) done before?
Cordially yours, Shinobu 04:05, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
@correct result: I agree.
One source of the confusion is a difference between what Firefox claims to do in the docs, and what it does in reality.
Modern version uses 1.5 by default, I think, and your script doesn't specify a version, so it'll be allright. Shinobu 16:44, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi Lupin,
Have you got JPG or GIF versions of the Lancashire Red Rose and Yorkshire White Rose that I could use? I've tried to convert your PNG Red Rose to these other formats but it doesn't work that well.

You have a great image of a bee on a thistle, but it's not a honeybee, so I have removed it from the honeybee page. I think it's a bumblebee, but I don't know much about European species, and I can't see its head. If it could be positively identified by someone who knows, it might be possible to assign it to another page. Thanks for all the great pictures. I've misidentified species too, and I'm always glad when someone corrects the misinfo. Pollinator 02:56, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC)
Greetings. I just started the Wikipedia:Image recreation requests project, and I thought you might be interested. Your help would be greatly appreciated. (I got your name from the list at Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Cartographers.) Best regards, – Quadell ( talk) ( sleuth) 03:19, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)
Hi. For any of your images that have been tagged {{unverified}}, update the image description page to include source URL and information on copyright status. If you received permission in an email from the image owner, state that as well. If that is the case, what kind of permission you received will determine what to use for the image tag. If the owner agreed to the GFDL license, then you can use {{GFDL}}. If they agreed to use it only on Wikipedia, then use {{permission}}. If the owner does not allow commercial use, then use {{Noncommercial}} but note that these images may get deleted in the future. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for more info.

Thanks for the edits on Timpani. I was getting a bit frustrated after not getting many peer review comments the first time I submitted it. I think the "special effects" section needs an image, but I can't think of anything. Any suggestions?

Suppose W is a partial isomtery. Then W W* is a self-adjoint projection e (so that e2=e). Also assume (as you claim) that it is also the case that
Then multiply both sides by W:
The square of a partial isometry is a projection only for very special partial isometries (it fails for instance for the unilateral shift). CSTAR 05:05, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
since then WW*=WW*WW* is a projection, as is W*W=W*WW*W. Lupin 14:21, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
That characterization is indeed correct, but it seems less interesting for an introductory article. More interesting I think are facts about partial isometries and self-adjoint operators and facts about partial isometrie and K theory. These could go in the article. CSTAR 14:58, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you're interested in heraldry and Sidney... do you know what the thing on the right of the sidney shield is meant to be? I've only found little bitmaps on the web which are too small to decipher. Any better image or the blazon would be helpful. Cheers, Lupin 09:52, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)

A while back I needed to make up a few cambridge university shields for a project I was working on, and only recently went to upload them to Wikipedia. I see you've beaten me to it, however (purely aesthetically) I prefer the look of my shields. I put up a page comparing them, and in each case, I prefer the look of mine.
I don't know much about heraldry, however I find the embossed look much more attractive. I appreciate they're not as 'technically accurate', that's why for each one, I uploaded the un-embossed image with it.
I obviously wasn't going to change all the shields over on the college pages without getting your thoughts first though. -- Prisonblues 14:36, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
As I understand it, it's okay to use these images under Fair Use. The situation is extremely complicated, however these are good starting points to look at stuff. For now I've added a full Fair Use notice to the two University images. -- Prisonblues
Hmmm, I reckon as long as you've clearly linked to the GFDL version in the iamge description, then anyone who is going to be using it for purposes that wouldn't be fair-use, or who isn't in a fair-use jurisdiciton area, can use the GFDL version. I'm not sure though, I'll give it some more thought. In the meantime I might have a go at touching up some of your crests, especially some of your colours -- Prisonblues 17:25, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I did the image caption. I noticed that emacs was on the list of things which needed caption work and decided to give it a go. The caption docs said that the caption should draw the reader in and do more than simply title the image, hence the lengthy caption.

Hi, Lupin, I hope you don't mind I just put the full-sentence Monopoly (game) caption back with explanation on the edit summary. I was trying to provide some context to people who have never seen the game so they'd know more than "in progress," plus trying to comply with guidelines at Wikipedia:Captions, the first of which is that captions should consist of complete sentences. Please edit the caption as you see fit to help it follow the guidelines. Also, please look over the guidelines, and if they need to be revised, please help. Also see Wikipedia_talk:Captions - there are several discussions on particular examples. -- ke4roh 20:27, Sep 1, 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
OR
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. – Ram-Man ( comment) ( talk)[[]] 15:31, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)

Hi Lupin, I hope you are not offended by some changes I made at Royal Academy of Music. I felt that the "see alsos" weren't quite right, and that the article was better served with a link to Music school, which can then act as a hub to all appropriate institutions and catch the requirement for lists of them in other articles, but with lower maintenance. Hope this is OK. Also, should the article mention the RAM's view of itself as the best, a view shared with some others? I note that that RCM article also says it's one of the most prestigious ...

Hey just wondering why you edited out all of the links that I added. I looked though Wikipedia guidelines and did not see anything that I was doing wrong. I felt my additions of external links was right in line with what has been done on pages such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_guitar and also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_lessons. I was just curious as to how my sumbissions were different from the one's mentioned above. I felt that on a page about the violin etc. it was reasonable to add a link to a site that teaches how to play the violin in addition to providing free tablature. Jeremy Casey

This is a great tool, by the way. I love it.
One comment on its usage: I've come across a couple of users bypassing lots of redirects using this tool. I don't think we should bypass redirects, as it's of little value (both get to the same page), and it clutters up the Wikicode. For example, [[SHA-1]] is easier to read than [[SHA hash functions|SHA-1]]. There are quite a few benefits from keeping the WikiCode as clean and simple as possible, namely that it's less threatening for new Wikipedia editors, and it's easier to read and edit even for experienced editors. — Matt Crypto 10:43, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Agreed - redirects should not be bypassed. If the article being redirected to is split, all the links now point to the wrong place. On the other hand, when an article is moved, it specifically says to check for double redirects, AND we have automated detection of double redirects. -- SPUI ( talk) 00:16, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Not to add to a dead discussion but the reason for avoiding linking to redirects is the reduction of extra load on the servers. If a link is sent through an extra redirect it adds extra requests for the servers to handle. This, spread across thousands of such links is very bad. - Localzuk (talk) 21:55, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Do you by any chance know what options are necessary for this kind of Javascript to work on a non-WikiMedia MediaWiki, or do you know who might know? I have a MediaWiki 1.6a installed at an undisclosed location, and instead of the normal /monobook.js with the message about cache-clearing at the top and all content spacing-preserved, monobook.js gets treated as an ordinary page. Since the URL provided in the script is absolute, presumably it should work from anywhere, so I assume it's a server-side problem.
Also, I presume you don't mind that I'm using your script outside Wikimedia where you can't see it. :) — Simetrical ( talk • contribs) 06:30, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

The "Air National Guard Installations" section of the List of U.S. Air Force bases article was poorly wikified, with the city and state set as separate links. When I attempt to disambiguate the cities, Popups (BTW, a great tool!!) often does not show the links I am looking for. As an example, on Port Clinton, it gives you the option to disambiguate to Pennsylvania or United States, but not the actual city links of Port Clinton, Ohio or Port Clinton, Pennsylvania. Same thing for Bangor (Maine), Westfield (Massachusetts), Burlington (Vermont), and many, many more. Is this a feature (aka I am not using it correctly) or a bug?

Edit summaries are for summarizing edits, not for promoting software (see Wikipedia:Edit summary). Would someone please remove the " Popups-assisted . . ." from the beginning of the summary line, or at the very least move it to a short link at the end? — Michael Z. 2006-01-22 20:40 Z
For what it's worth, I hereby retract any concern I have on this matter. My watchlist is now also flooded with lines such as " AWB assisted clean up + reduce overlinking", and I expect there will be others, so there's no point in Popups not using its old " Popups-assisted…", too. ¦ Reisio 22:46, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Lately, I've only seen edit summaries ending with "...using popups" on my watchlist. I don't know if this is because the software has been updated, or because some users have changed their settings, but it's a great improvement. They don't interfere with reading the watchlist at all. Sincerely, thanks for responding to my concern.

Lupin, thank you. I thought you would appreciate this: http://community.livejournal.com/wikipedians/69759.html
It prompted me to come here and ask a question. I have a feeling the answer is the many-times-above-mentioned "too much server overhead", and if so, alas, so be it.
However, I simply must ask if it's possible to provide an actual mini-diff in the preview box if I hover over a "(diff)" or "(last)" link -- an answer to "what was this edit?". Ideally it would provide the entire diff if it's a small edit (less than, say, 50 characters?), and some other kind of feedback if it's something bigger. It would be brilliant to be able to scan my watchlist or a related changes page or a page history and not bother clicking the diffs that end up being "removed a comma" or "added a category" just to make sure it's not vandalism. (Yes, yes, I know, everyone should be using informative edit summaries -- they don't. And smart vandals lie anyway.)

I just noticed this edit today. Is there a way to make it show the username instead of a revision number? Ex.) Instead of: "Reversion to revision 37531695 using popups" say "Reversion to revision Martin Hinks using popups". Using the revision# makes it much harder to see how far back the article has been reverted. Thanks. Monkeyman 20:27, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

strings-en.js file. However, most times I include only the editor name in a summary, not the timestamp or revision ID, so it would be useful to pick just %s
number 2 and leave out number 1 and 3. Is this possible with the current strings? --

The extended reversion summary only works on history pages, so I wonder if the time stamp is just grabbed from the history page. If it is, the information may be ambiguous because the user settings of date format and time zone are not considered. I noticed that this reversion summary didn't give the UTC time but rather the same time as the history page, which is my local time. -- Eddi ( Talk) 04:14, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
popupTimeOffset=1
and the next to last doesn't. But, as you say, it may be more sensible to subtract than add, so that the offset option corresponds directly to the respective time zone. --

There's some discussion over at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(disambiguation_pages)#Wikipedia:Disambiguation_and_abbreviations regarding some changes being made to certain disambuation templates. It seems one particular user has introduced some new templates Template:2LC, Template:3LC and Template:4LC and has apparently launched a bot to replace the current disambiguation templates on all the 2, 3, and 4 character disambuation pages. It breaks Popups' disambiguation features for sure. I don't know what else it may be breaking. Ewlyahoocom 14:58, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Popups are extremely useful on Recent Changes to check out diffs. I mouse over the "(diff)" link and the diffs come up. However, it works for a while and then stops working. I need to reload the page to get it to work again. Anyone else having this? -- Spaceman85 17:58, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
The since me feature doesn't seem to work if your last edit isn't on the first page of the history. The problem appears to be in the getHistory function. It should use a while loop to download all the history pages and return them cocatenated together. Superm401 - Talk 19:30, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

The following javascript is more standard and conforms to XML and XHTML standards.

For use in {{ navpop}}. -- infinity 0 19:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Similarly, this is more standard than the current document.write() in Lupin's popups.js
var npcss = document.createElement("style"); npcss.rel = "stylesheet"; npcss.type = "text/css"; npcss.href = " http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:Lupin/navpop.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css&dontcountme=s"; document.getElementsByTagName("head").item(0).appendChild(npcss);
Intended to replace the "import stylesheets" part. -- infinity 0 19:26, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
The W3C recommends using DOM node methods to manipulate pages instead of changing the source code using document.write(). The reason is becaues XML parsers use nodes to display objects and it's easier for them. If the document is sent as XML+XHTML, then document.write() and object.innerHTML fail to work. It's just me being pedantic, but in the future all browsers may be XML-based, and these type of scripts will no longer work.

When hovering over a link near the lower part of my display, the popup opens such that most of it is below the viewable window, unlike other popups which seem to be aware of screen location and "flip" the popup above the cursor - the tool seems to be aware of the left and right sides of the display.

I have some problems. The first "%s" in the revert summary is date and not previous contributor's ip/user name.

I will create a own revert summary; "Revert to last version by %s using popups" (marked as minor edit). I can't javascript, so a simple description to what i must edit in the code in my own popups.js to fix this is welcome. Fdp 23:55, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Popups seem to be working fine except for that I can't access the submenus.

In your insertDiff function, you use toLocaleString() to output a Date object. This is actually confusing because I've set all my other Wikipedia dates to use UTC time. Could you change it to toUTCString(), or at least provide this as an option? Superm401 - Talk 02:44, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, long time user, first time caller. OK not really, I've posted here before. Anyway, I've noticed a behaviour starting a few days/weeks ago that I'm not sure I like, wondering if others see it too. If I am editing an article and I place text containing a link ([[]]) in my cut buffer (because I deleted it or want to move it, etc). that link gets popped up. This can be disconcerting because it's in the way, and it isn't something I wanted. Worse, it freezes editing, so if I am furiously typing away, any keystrokes after the cntl-x or cntl-c are lost until I clear the popup away. Is this just me? Is it stoppable? I briefly looked at the options but may have missed one... or is this what popupOnEditSelection controls? Thanks. ++ Lar: t/ c 12:04, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I expanded from only using a few of the base options to adding some of the extra options for edit summaries and it just broke my monobook.js. I've had to revert back (see my js file for current working version) but the ones I experimented with that broke the script and everything else suddenly were:
// [[User:Lupin/popups.js]] - please include this line document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:Lupin/popups.js' + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>'); popupAdminLinks=true; popupShortcutKeys=true; popupFixRedirs=true; popupFixDabs=true; popupRedlinkRemoval=true; popupRevertSummary=rvv; popupRevertSummaryPrompt=true; popupFixRedirsSummary=Redirect fixing per [[Wikipedia:Redirect]]; popupFixDabsSummary=[[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|Disambiguation]] repair; popupRedlinkSummary=Removing link to non existent page; };
Probably some way in which you implemented the new options or I did something that ended up being contradictory, either way any fix or way that I can fix it if it's an issue with my set of options would be appreciated. Pegasus1138 Talk | Contribs | Email ---- 04:02, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Can someone plz tell me why I only see a few lines of preview when I hover over a link. At the most its 10. Whereas the screenshot in Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation_popups shows about 20+. My options set in my monobook.js file are:
popupSubpopups=true; popupPreviews=true; simplePopups=false; popupImages=true; removeTitles=true; popupPreviewFirstParOnl=false;
I'm generally very happy with popups, it works nicely, even on the German WP. Thanks for that! However, in three cases out of 100+, popups made me restore vandalism rather than revert it, i.e. it reverted to the wrong version. Here they are: [16], [17], [18]. This happened when someone else was faster at reverting than I was. I hit 'revert' while seeing the diff between the last clean and the vandalized version. My configuration: Firefox 1.5.0.2 and XP Pro SP2, and, as you see, German WP. At that time, there was only popups in my monobook.js (I've now added godmode light for reverting).
It appears to me like popups doesn't go back to the (absolute) revision #foobar, but rather to the (relative) version "this-and-that-many edits back in time". This leads you into trouble, provided the revision history has changed in the meantime, and provided the software re-reads it before reverting. Note that among the three edits linked above, the first two go one step back in time, while the third one goes two steps back in time as intended, however ending up restoring the first vandal edit but not the second one. Hope that helps, -- DerHerrMigo 07:15, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

So for a while now, the diff display in AVT has not been coloring the added/removed text in red. Turns out this is because MediaWiki moved the CSS for diff display to a separate call to load.php, which is not loaded unless you're viewing an actual diff page.
To resolve this, and restore the red coloring in diffs in AVT, you can add the following CSS code to your common.css (or vector.css or whatever), with no linebreaks:
table.diff,td.diff-otitle,td.diff-ntitle{background-color:white}td.diff-otitle,td.diff-ntitle{text-align:center}td.diff-marker{text-align:right}td.diff-lineno{font-weight:bold}td.diff-addedline{background:#cfc;font-size:smaller}td.diff-deletedline{background:#ffa;font-size:smaller}td.diff-context{background:#eee;font-size:smaller}.diffchange{color:red;font-weight:bold;white-space:-moz-pre-wrap;white-space:pre-wrap;text-decoration:none}table.diff{border:none;width:98%;border-spacing:4px; table-layout:fixed}table.diff td{padding:0}table.diff col.diff-marker{width:2%}table.diff col.diff-content{width:48%}table.diff td div{ word-wrap:break-word; overflow:auto}

I noticed today that occasionally when I do a 'rollback' on Lupin the edit appears to save. I then leave a warning on the editors page if necessary. However today I found several times that my edit rollback wasn't the one that went through - it didn't report an edit conflict but it was another editor who made the correction and also left a warning on the users page. So there were 2 warnings for the single edit. I have since then taken to checking that it was my edit before leaving the warning but it seemed to be a new situation, not one there a few days ago... Can anyone comment?-- 🍺 Antiqueight confer 18:34, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Hey Lupin,
I have an idea for your amazing Anti-Vandal tool: Verify that different things are closed off, like quotations, apostrophes, perentheses, brackets, etc. For example, if you were quoting Homer (the Greek poet):
Homer is a Greek poet, who is well-known for writing poems. One of his poems (The Iliad starts off, "Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans.
People using your Anti-Vandal tool would receive a message on your Anti-Vandal page saying that there are an odd number of parentheses and quotations. The user would add a closed parenthesis after "Iliad" and add a quotation mark after "Achaeans".
Regarding possession (for example, "Newyorkadam's") there is correctly a single apostrophe. If you were to implement this idea, the checker would ignore apostrophes before or after an 's'.
Thanks!

As per some of the discussions above, I tried my hand at updating Lupin's tool to use the API instead of the RSS feed, but ran into several difficulties. Lupin wasn't very reliable at commenting his code, so it's hard to follow in places. Also, unlike the RSS feed, the API doesn't provide a mode that provides a list of recent changes along with diffs for each edit -- you have to download the list of changes, then download each diff individually to match against the badwords list, which completely screws with the flow of Lupin's code.
I decided it's basically easier to start over again, so I've re-implemented the basic functionality as Darkwind's Anti-Vandal Tool. It's still in a very early stage of development (the only mode currently is equivalent to "filter recent changes"), but it's usable, and I'd appreciate any feedback and/or suggestions you all may have. You can read more about it and get installation instructions at User:Darkwind/DAVT. — Darkwind ( talk) 05:45, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello Cacycle--
I sent an email to Lupin, but I do not think he will be responding any time soon.
I wanted to ask, how might I go about creating my own badwords list? I use the Filter Recent changes script almost every day, and would like to perform testing on a custom badwords list, without interfering with the general list used by others.
With proper attribution, would this be okay to do? I am not a programmer by trade, would it be as simple as copying the script to my user page and then changing the pointers for the badwords file?
Thank you for your time and any insight or assistance you may offer. Kind regards, Yamaguchi
Hi, in the script at User:Lupin/recent2.js, recent2.userIsSysop should include a check for whether the user is a rollbacker, because rollbackers can use admin rollback. (it's also faster than non-admin rollback javascript anyway). (recent2.userIsSysop) — Andy W. ( talk · contrib) 17:46, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
There is an ongoing discussion about a change in rollback behavior at the Village Pump. I currently believe the change breaks LAVT for admin rollback. Non-admin javascript rollback seems fine. The discussion is here. — Andy W. ( talk · ctb) 00:02, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

The spellchecker script disappeared from my Tools menu back around October 2019. But I use my own copy which I've tweaked to give better edit summaries, and to run for longer). Having reinstalled the original Lupin script into my commons.js file, the Tool is visible again on the left side of every page, but still will not function.
Superficially, Lupin's tool appears to run and report likely spelling errors, as normal. So...
However:
Example: Lupin reported the word 'particulary' as an error in in this version of an article. Clicking particulary in the report led to this editing page Note the absence of any correction, and the bold warning message, plus the edit summary stating: Correcting spelling: particulary->particularly
I do know Lupin's tool is old, but I'm unaware of any better live-monitoring script, so it would be a shame to lose it completely - assuming it can be rescued.

Shouldn't 'Recent IP edits' be implemented by adding an '&hideliu=1' to the 'feed' string, rather than by requesting all edits and then filtering out those whose editors match a RegExp?

Some recent alterations made to the word list broke AVT's filter recent changes page. I'm not sure which specific change broke it (though I suspect it was the fairly major changes by Rocket000 ( t c)); but reverting to the Sept 29th version fixed the tool, and that's the important part. If you make changes to the word list, please double check that your changes didn't break the script—there are instructions at the top of the word list for forcing your browser to use the changes immediately.

This filter is matching parts of ordinary words. Is this in fact a real mark of a vandal? In the meantime, I'm enclosing it in /s so it only matches at word boundaries. --

Been using this tool for a few days now -- it's great, by the way -- but I wonder if I'm the only one who finds punctuation-based hits to be almost entirely false positives.

f\*
which will match any occurance of the letter f followed by an asterisk; otherwise, if you want something that matches the whole word, you can use f(\*)+(cked|ck|k|ed)?
, f(\*|u)+(cked|ck|k|ed)?
if you also want it to match non-censored versions, although in that case you have to set it to match word boundries or else you'll get every article talking about fudge or fuschia or fungus. If you also want it to catch words where the asterisks are omitted, you can use f(\*|u|ck)+(cked|ck|k|ed)?
(also requires word boundry matching). f(\*|u|k|ck|ed)+
does similar to the previous, but might have slightly more false positives.

I upgraded my Firefox browser a few days ago to 1.5.0.4. I'm really not sure which version I had prior to that (I think it was 1.0). Since then I've had some problems with the pop-ups. When the mouse hovers over some links (but not others), I get a "spinning beachball" (i.e., Mac) mouse cursor for a few seconds, followed by an error message:
If I click "Stop" it clears up after about a second and I'm on my merry way (for a while). This doesn't happen with every link, just some, and I can't tell why some links set it off and others don't.

When you revert in popups, there is &autoclick=wpSave in the url. Well, I have loads of subpages at User:GeorgeMoney/delpage that I want to delete, so I want to make it easier for the admin(s) deleting them. So, would it be possible for an admin with popups to use &autoclick=wpConfirmB which is the submit button for delete. Can this be achieved so all the admin has to do is press the "delete" link I have provided and the page will be deleted automatically instead of having to go to a form and click the button? -- GeorgeMoney ( talk) ( Help Me Improve!) 22:05, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I've found that the "sinceMe" function never works for me. (It gives a msg box saying no matching edits found in last 50.) Since the msg lists my user name as "R._S._Shaw", it suggests that the problem may be blanks within the user name being converted to underscores, and then not matching the blanks in the history entries. I know there are many others besides myself that have userids with blanks in them. It'd be great if you could fix this sometime.

Hi Lupin. I've been doing a bit of reasearch on JavaScript recently and I thought I might suggest something:
Would it be possible for your to specify the event that triggers popups (currently onmouseover
) as a variable with a default value of onmouseover? That way, users could specify in their local .js what event(s) they'd like to use to trigger it. Personally, for example, I would only like to have popups at the combination of onmouseover
and a keystroke.
Is my suggestion possible? Ingoolemo talk 02:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
How about adding a feature to revert an arbitrary edit, as opposed to rolling back the current version to that edit. Example:
My suggestion is to add a "revert delta" item to the popup action menu for history browsing. You'd point the mouse at a version in the revision history. Popups would then do a 3-way diff between that version, the previous version, and the current version, and then edit the current version to undo the delta. If necessary, it could rely on a diff3 program running on the server or on the tool server. I shudder at the complex browser-side javascript in navpops and want to keep my hands out of it, but I could help with the server side if you think this is worthwhile. -- Phr ( talk) 01:14, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Ahhhh. My apolgies. I edited the list that time under the false assumption everything was a regular expression (which its not). The phrase "***ERIC IS A FAG***" is from an parody page The Onion created of United States, and in one place an item in a list is replaced with "***ERIC IS A FAG***", and people are using it as an example to vandalise against. If you could consider putting it back, in light of what I've said (and my idiocy on that I don't need to escape * on a non-regex), I'd be quite greatful as this would help nail this new junk right in the bud.

Hi Lupin, and thanks for developing this great tool! I am using it here and on the Hebrew wikipedia, and I would like to report two minor issues with it in he wiki.
I saw now that on the en wiki, user contributions are shown in popup when hovering over "contribs" links and IP addresses in the recent changes screen. In the hebrew wikipedia, a popup window is opened, but it only says "שגיאה", which is hebrew for "error".
Another issue is that the Hebrew magicword for redirect, הפניה, is not recognized by the tool, so only a simple link is displayed when hovering over redirected links. (The hebrew magicword was only introduced some weeks ago.)
If any further information is needed, please let me know. thanks again! Netan'el 13:38, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi, when following a redirect, the popup shows two menu items - one for the redirect and one for the article. Also, i looked throw your code (very briefly :)) - do you think it might be good to create a common module that would combine requests to avoid duplications? For example, when user moves over a diff, a call to the module will indicate the needed information (revisions, user's timezone, ...). The module would then see if it requested these things before (like if it got timezone previously), and return cached information if it can, plus any new data that it had to request. That data can also be added to the cache, etc. What do you think? Lastly, for some reason some popups do not get the data - moving the mouse over history shows the initial box, but not the content afterwards. I tried cache refresh. It might be due to running on the latest minefield (firefox nightly build). -- Yurik 23:34, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi again :).
I'm having troubles testing my scripts because popups is eating up my bugs in js console ;). After about a minute this warning is produced regularly (at least one at a second):
Warning: reference to undefined property this.left File: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:Lupin/popups.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s Line: 4924
Around that line:
Navpopup.prototype.limitHorizontalPosition=function() { ... log('limitHorizontalPosition: x='+x+ ', this.left=' + this.left + ', this.width=' + this.width + ', cWidth=' + cWidth); ... }
If I understand correctly this is for debugging only, so maybe you could just delete or comment out this line? Maybe it would also be possible to delete all debugging functions in released versions of popups. This probably wouldn't make it much smaller or faster, but some is still good enough :).
Regards, Nux talk | didn't answer? drop a note 08:52, 29 July 2006 (UTC).
p.s.: Just curious here - but how come popups is running in the background windows (tabs) and producing this warning even if I disabled it (with the menu thingy) on all opened pages?
Me again :).
I just wanted to let you know that on my translation of popups. I've deleted all debuging instructions (starting with the above log thingy, and finishing with debug.js) and nothing blown up my screen so I guess it was OK ;).
Also wanted to let you know that it works when you split JS file to sections. It might help you in small bugfixing. I did that by replacing
// STARTFILE: (.*)\n
with
/*\n</pre>\n$1\n<pre>\n*/\n// STARTFILE: $1\n
I used Zocky's SearchBox for that as I mostly working on Win98 and don't have any decent utf8 editors. Anyway works great - just needed to fix domdrag.js and add some workaround for livepreview.js as they both contained </pre> tag.
BTW. I belive that you should disable all events that are making popups work in the background when it is disabled.

In other words, an article last edited on July 29 is currently showing a date of 2006-06-29 in the popup. I went back to some edits from older months, like June and May and it seems to be reproducable.

Lupin, thanks for the help. Experimentative actually is a word (look it up), but experimental is better. I wanted to keep it closer to experimentive(which is assuredly NOT a word) for the sake of the other user. Let's just go with experimental for now, I suppose.

Really says most of it - thanks for popups. I got involved in a brief vandalism/revert session the other day and although I'm not slow I wasn't fast enough on my own! I look forward to exploring the features but it looks great so far. It isn't happy on Opera with me (freezes - latest version Opera) which is a pity bit I use Firefox more and more. If I can help with anything I'll happily try - thanks. Cheers -- Nigel 17:33, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

In case you don't watchlist WT:RFA, Essjay has released a php version of Interiot's tool 2 on the toolserver. The format of the query is http://tools.wikimedia.de/~essjay/edit_count/Count.php?username=$1&submit=Count . Since both "kate" and "interiot" options for edit counter in popups are now broken, it may be good to make Essjay's the default; it is much faster than Interiot's tool 2 which can hang some browsers when counting >10,000 edits.

It would be nice if a click on a link (for navigation or context menu) would cancel the popup to display, at least until the mouse is moved out and in again.
This is not a big deal in 90% of situations, but sometimes, perhaps when the CPU is a bit more stretched than normal, the showing of a new popup interferes a little bit with the navigating. For instance it might happen that the context menu opens, and then suddenly the popup opens and the browser doesn't react smoothly to the context menu.
This seems to me to be an easy problem to fix, but is not very urgent.
Yours faithfully, Shinobu 21:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey Lupin. firstly: aweome tool! :) good as.
Secondly: Is there anyway that instead of the "Show Changes" button being pressed, the "Save page" button can be pressed. It just seems a bit tedious to have to wait till the page loads, then wait till the diff loads, then click Save page, wait till that loads, then close it and move on.. You know what i mean?

Thanks for all the work you've put into popups, it really is a great little script, and the only one that I actually keep enabled all the time. I remember you helped us out at WP:DPL before, so I wondered if you could do it again. What I'd really like is a way for popups to warn you when you go to save an article that includes links to disambiguation pages. I don't know how many people use popups, but prevention is better than cure, and I know for myself that it's very easy to include an ambiguous link accidentally. The feature could be disabled by default if people found it intrusive, but I think it could be really quite useful. I'm not sure how much work this would be, but it's an idea. Thanks!

Hello! Just noticed this edit by you. Given all the (awesome) JS scripts you have written, I'd presume that this was done by one too. However, as you can see, the spelling correction was done on an image name, which prevented the image from appearing. I thought I'd point this out, so you could debug your script accordingly.

I am trying to use the option fix links to disambiguation page from the navigation popups on the Dutch Wikipedia, but it does not work there. I have added the line: popupFixDabs=true; to my monobook and cleared my browser's cache. I do not see an option fix, or anything. The reason for this is probably that the template indicating a page is a disambiguation page is {{dp}} in stead of {{dab}}. can this be overcome somehow? Best regards, 07:37, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi again after a break.
I don't really know how this works, but after editing .js page it gets parsed by MediaWiki and all sections are editable ([edit] links are shown) and an index is generated. Somehow it stayed that way on my version and I'm very happy about it ;). Anyway at first it didn't work and you may see that I've made kind of an editing index on the talk page [28], which you might also use.
You may see that this also works on your test page here -> edit first section.

Sorry it took me so long to respond, but I've been away most of the summer and just now checked for messages. For me, [29] does not spill over. However, [30] does kind of spill over. By that, I mean that the gray shaded areas and some text extend past the right-hand boundary of the pop-up. Is that what you mean by spill over?

Hi.
Popups is able to display preview when highlighting text in edit area, but it is not working well then. I'm not sure why is this happening, but I guess that it is because you take first header's content (or maybe page title) as an article title. This is not correct while editing as the title is e.g. "Editing User talk:Lupin (comment)". I'm not sure how you could fix this, but maybe you could take the title from the first tab (here <li id="ca-nstab-user"><a title="" accesskey="c" href="/info/en/?search=User:Lupin">User page</a></li>) or maybe just replace all occurences without reloading the page (which would probably be the best).
Best regards, Maciej "Nux" Jaros ** drop a note** 08:24, 24 August 2006 (UTC).
PS: If you will decide to take the title from the first tab, then you could probably use something like:
var this_simple_href = document.getElementById('p-cactions').getElementsByTagName('li')[0].getElementsByTagName('a')[0].href;

I have been occasionally getting a nasty error message. The symptoms are as follows:
I at first thought I had a coding error in one of my own script, but I have found a way to reproduce the error that shows that Popups is to blame.
I'm not sure how to go about fixing this. As you can see the problem will not occur frequently, since for it to happen the mousepointer must accidentally move over the place where a link is in the target page. Still, it's very annoying when it happens.
I'm sorry to bring up such an obscure problem, so I'll try to help by giving you my idea on what might cause this to happen. You're loading the popups here, right?
<script type="text/javascript"> if (window.runOnloadHook) runOnloadHook(); </script>
So that might mean that the page is not fully loaded when the links are getting their popups wired. If they then receive a mousemove, the computer is still busy, the timeout elapses, page still not fully loaded because the last bit of page simply hasn't been processed yet, popup appears, tries to open a connection while the connection with the current page is still open... it could be. Of course, it might be something totally different.
If I can find a way to stop this from happening, I'll let you know. Bye, Shinobu 02:20, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I've inserted the following code just before inclusion of your script:
function TryToFixLupinsPopups() { var fns = []; var onreadystatechange = document.onreadystatechange; var oldOLH = addOnloadHook; //Not used addOnloadHook = function(fn) { fns[fns.length] = fn; }; document.onreadystatechange = function() { var i; try { onreadystatechange(); } catch(e) { } if(document.readyState == 'complete') { document.onreadystatechange = onreadystatechange; for(i in fns) fns[i](); } }; } TryToFixLupinsPopups();
It seems to help. I'll test this configuration for a while, so I can fix any problems that might occur. If it keeps working, we might discuss if and how we'll finalize the solution. For instance, I'm using another script that uses almost the same code to hook into onreadystatechange, so that could become a shared library. Or a script could be created that changes addOnloadHook like the above does - these two are not mutually exclusive of course. But first I'll go on reading on Wikipedia for a while, and try to reproduce te problem, to be as sure as possible that the problem is actually solved. Shinobu 04:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Before you ask: yes, above code contains a slight bug. It was originally only intended to shield against a possible built-in Wikipedia onreadystatechange hook, so that other script using the same code interferes a bit, although not noticeable. If I turn this into a shared lib, I'll fix that. Shinobu 23:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
It turns out onreadystatechange is not portable, but no need to panic. In de standard Wikipedia function library sits a good alternative, so it seems. I'll do some more tests.
hookEvent("load", function() { //Do stuff here. });
Faithfully yours, Shinobu 03:01, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Everything seems to work fine now. Code is located at User:Gerbrant/alternativeOnloadHook.js. Yours sincerely, Shinobu 05:22, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
The "module business" is just something I use for ease of debugging and loading scripts - just ignore it, it's not needed for the problem at hand. I only explicitly declared the module because that made it easy to toy with the functions on my computer locally.
Relevant code:
this.alternative = function(fn) { hookEvent("load", fn); }; addOnloadHook = this.alternative;
Since your script calls addOnloadHook, I just override it with this.alternative. It accepts a callback function, just like addOnloadHook, and passes it to hookEvent in wikibits.js.
So you could either replace calls to addOnloadHook by hookEvent, or, if you want to keep this configurable, copy-paste
function(fn) { hookEvent("load", fn); };
and use whichever function the settings for popups say should be used, like
if(useAddOnloadHook) myOnloadHook = addOnloadHook; else myOnloadHook = function(fn) { hookEvent("load", fn); };
I hope this helps. Yours sincerely, Shinobu 09:50, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Once again kudos for the wonderful popup script, and for implementing a feature that I had requested earlier (history preview). I have another request, and I don't even know if it is possible: on my system (Windows/firefox), when I hover over a link near the bottom of the page, the popup window will show up even further down and will only be partly visible. It would be nice if the popup window could be displayed above the link in these situations. Cheers, AxelBoldt 23:17, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
HI, Thanks for the popup feature; it's incredible. For link disambig (and in fact, for every context, as far as I can see) the count of "What Links Here" in main namespace (namespace 0) is far more useful info than the number of links on the page (as currently appears on the popup). In fact... I can't think of a context in which the latter is useful at all, except to give an idea how long the article is.. but the size in KB does that pretty well... so the link count in its current form is redundant.. but count of "what links here" in Main would be useful...

Is there anyway to view the headings related to the topic in popups.

Bug: The href of the link in the list goes to to "#redlink123", but the problem is that the links in the list also have the name #redlink123, so it just goes there. A simple fix:
l.name = "";
Extra feature: The redlinks in the list just show the redlink title and not where it actually goes. Simple fix:
var lp = unescape(lk.href.replace('http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=', '').replace('&action=edit','').replace(/_/g, ' ')); if(l.innerHTML != lp) l.innerHTML += ' ('+lp+')';

Hello!
I've been using your scripts (popups and recentchanges) for a while, and they are no longer working; I miss them terribly, and am exceedingly annoyed when I try to preview an article and can't. I actually get annoyed when I can't preview links on sites other than Wikipedia!
Anyway, my scripts are no longer working, and I've tried replacing them and reverting my monobook.js page and refreshing everything, but they still aren't fixed. The popups worked for approximately two and a half minutes after I re-added the information the second-to-last time, but the recentchanges still isn't working. I was hoping to get some vandal-fighting done tonight but I guess I'll have to wait... it is a good chance to get some tedious stuff done. But still.
I'd appreciate if you could let me know if there's something I should try or something I'm doing wrong. I can't think of anything, but you're obviously smarter than I and I may be missing something entirely obvious!

I doubt the Wikia staff would install it. They refused to install Winter for the Christian Music wiki that I admin. As for the name, since the name is the same for all three wikis, I question that is the problem. I made no changes to that for them moment.

Dear Lupin,
As you are the creator of the "popups" software, and as the source code appears to be located on one or more of your user pages, I send you the following requests :
Please remove from User:Lupin/strings-draft all advertisements in the form of the phrase : 'using popups'.
Please do what is necessary so that they are also removed from foreign languages translations.
This is Spam. This is annoying. I do not want to find those in my watchlist any longer.
The purpose of edit summaries is not to advertise oneself.
This being said, I have no doubt your tool is a wonderful device helping a lot of people to perform their tasks on Wikipedia.
Best regards.

Your rollback feature is very useful. However, it automatically marks all reverts as minor. I don't like that, since I don't consider vandalism reverts as minor. How can I change that? -- Exir Kamalabadi Join Esperanza! 10:46, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Yesterday, several pages like Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and Nebraska got hit by a swarm of IP vandals. I made a total of 8 submissions to the Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism page, along with numerous reverts (I wish I had had popups then :( ) but practically every single time I did, I had to make my edit first, and then copy it, refresh the edit window, and make it again to submit it. This is despite copying previous edits of mine to speed up how quickly I could submit the vandals (and I should note that I only got 8 of them because I had to leave). It seems there were a lot of other people trying to stop the flood as well. I noticed you had one-click reversion among the features, and I'm curious if you could make something like that for vandal submission. In this case, something a one-click revert and warn next to the regular revert. If the user has received the full range of warnings already, or is a repeat vandal, then it should send a submission to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. This would make my life a lot easier if this happens again. - NorsemanII 15:36, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Lupin, I just came across your anti-vandal tool recently, and was blown away! Thanks for your efforts to provide tools to make things easier for us less-godlike users!
I had an idea for an extension that could be useful for WikiProject Disambiguation -- a "new links to disambiguation pages detector." Basically, it would filter the Recent Changes feed just like your AVT, but instead of looking for vandalism it would look for links to disambig pages. Not all of them, of course, but a list of the ones that are most frequently linked to, like American, English, and so forth. We could easily develop such a list using the data generated on WP:DPM. When it detects a newly-added link, instead of (or in addition to) a warning or a rollback, it would allow the operator to click a link to post a polite message on the user's talk page informing them that their recent edit to Pagename included a link to Foogle, which is a disambiguation page, and it would be extremely helpful if they would be so kind as to edit this link to point to the most appropriate article (of those listed on the disambig page) corresponding to their topic.
Is this something you would be interested in? Is it feasible? The only downside I can see is that it might generate a lot of talk page messages. -- Russ (talk) 20:40, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

wikEd has all the functionality of the old editorplus: • syntax highlighting • nifty imagebuttons • more fixing buttons • paste formatted textfrom Word or web pages • convert the formatted text intowikicode • adjust the font size • and much, muchmore.

Hello Lupin,
I'm very sorry I think I edited your User:Lupin/recent2.js' page by accident. Have I damaged anything? Feel free to reverse my "vandalism"! (Nobody seems to complain so it is possibly minor)
Nmacpherson 23:16, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
In history, if you hover over the newest edit, and click revert, what should happen? In my experience, you point to the version you want to revert to -- not from. If you attempt to revert to the newest version, WP goes through the motions of reverting, so you might think the change was reverted. But it's still there.
I think you need to display some sort of error message when that happens. Will ( Talk - contribs) 04:48, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
You fixed this, but forgot to tell me. The new code requires that you specify the version to revert from. Will ( Talk - contribs) 04:40, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
When the popups tool is used to view page histories, it shows the time of each edit to the exact second. However, the normal history page only shows the time to the minute. Where does the popup script get this additional data? Thanks. -- Ixfd64 02:44, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Lupin -- you seem to be Wikipedia's expert on custom javascript, so I'll run this by you.. I've created a script that adds the "history" tab's diffing interface to your watchlist. Two radio buttons next to each revision of an article. Click one on the left, click one on the right, and voila, instant diff. To your knowledge, has this been done before?

Yup, I get strange behaviour (with IE) when I let the mouse pointer hover over a link positioned close to the bottom of the browser window: the popup "post-it window" is cut short at the browser window border.

Would it be possible in your pop-ups extension to have an automated way to insert {{ welcome}} onto a users talk page, just by hovering over their user page link?

The "sinceMe" command in popups seems to have been broken for a week or so for me. The message displays as "Couldn't find an edit by Doug_Bell..." so I'm thinking the issue is the underscore in my user name. — Doug Bell talk• contrib 15:38, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
The problem mentioned there is still far from being fixed in the stable version of Navigation popups.
I'd like to suggest the following patched version of decodeEscapes:
Title.prototype.decodeEscapes=function(txt) { var split=txt.parenSplit(/([%][0-9A-Fa-f]{2})/); var len=split.length; for (var i=1; i<len; i=i+2) { split[i]=unescape(split[i]); } var hashText = split.join(''); split=hashText.parenSplit(/([.][0-9A-F]{2})/); len=split.length; for (var j=1; j<len; j+=2) { split[j]=unescape('%' + split[j].slice(1)); //e.g. '.A0'.slice(1) == 'A0' } return split.join(''); };
Good luck. — 62.183.50.164 08:21, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Hello. I am having trouble fixing the links to the page at Law and Order. A lot of links intend the show, which at Law & Order, but the page names with the '&' seem to be a problem: no change gets made and the edit summary shows up as "Disambiguate [[Law and Order]] to [[Law ". Thanks for a great tool -- it just keeps getting better and better! Ewlyahoocom 15:01, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
First of all, thanks for the great tool you've provided, it certainly helps me.
The problem I am having is that reading your instructions to change the appearance of the PopUp's, I wanted them to appear blue and in a larger text (so it is easier to read and navigate for me). I am using Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.3. I edited and saved my monobook.css with the following instructions:
.navpopup { background-color: #d7eeff !important; border-color: #1e90ff !important; font-size: small !important; }
Nothing happened. I cleared the cache on Firefox and the problem still persists. So I'm at a bit of a loss of what happened and I hope you can help me. tghe-retford 10:19, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
sorry to bother you but on a wiki I use we would like to add two links to the toolbox but can't work out how. I have tried to decipher your code but it still won't work. If you have time please could you tell me, but I will understand if you don't. Lcarsdata Talk | @ | Contribs 07:21, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
I am using IE 6.0.28 and I keep getting a Windows pop-up dialog box that says "Navigation popups error: op or cl is null! something is wrong". If I click "OK", then the box goes away and I can click on the link. The Lupin popup still shows but the pop-up dialog is totally annoying.
At this point, I'd be find getting rid of Lupin popups completely but I can't figure out how to do that. I tried removing everything from my monobook.js but that didn't seem to help.
Don't get me wrong. I love Lupin popups and the prospect of not being able to use them is not a happy one. However, this "navigation popups error" is driving me nuts and I'd rather get rid of Lupin popups than have to live with it any longer.
HELP!

In IE a regexp is an object, not a function.
By the way, to be able to debug the script locally, I had to change the following function too:

PS: Have no idea where did that english version come from. Maybe some old/new string that weren't translated? You might check pl-file here if you wish.
The solution seems reasonable, thanks :).
About 'defaultpopupRevertToPreviousSummary' - it's missing in the User:Lupin/strings-draft. I've compared those in the main file and in the draft and there are some not included in the main file and some in other places... Maybe you could just copy over it to save the trouble of comparing?
Anyway as I'm here anyway. Maybe you might want to look at small corrections I've done to the CSS . This makes actions menu a little bigger so you want accidently go of it. And this reminds me one more thing...
Could you add a setting for the time when the popups disappears? Giving at least half a second would help me sometimes.
Again very grateful for your work, Nux talk | faster(pl) talk 21:14, 20 May 2006 (UTC).
I had some problems figuring out what's the difference ;)... But yes, I meant the latter. That is - no matter how much time passed since the popup appeared, if the mouse just goes of it for some time it will still remain visible for that (short) time and I can go back to it to prevent it from disappearing at all. This is to make the popup more stable despite accidental mouse movements. Nux talk | didn't answer? drop a note 13:57, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello! I would like to request a feature to be added for disambiguating links actual articles. A few times, not often, I've been tempted to temporarily replace an article with a dab page while I use your tool to dab the links. I suspect it would be a pain to parse an articles dablinks/hatnotes but maybe it would be possible to add alink to a disambiguation page at e.g. Current article title (disambiguation). Maybe a link could be added to the actions menu when popupFixDabs is true, or maybe just a little green link which could be followed when popupSubpopups is set? And so as to not slow down the tool, the page might not even need to be checked for beforehand. Thanks! Ewlyahoocom 23:37, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Wondering if somewhere in your vast javascript knowledge you might have a solution to the automatic edit view produced by redlinks. I find that I'm constantly slowed down, considerably, when doing things like checkuser because my js tabs don't work on edit views, only the regular page view. Any ideas on a way to either stop redlinks from automatically going to an edit view, or to reload nonexistent pages so they are no longer edit views? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as it would cut the time spent checking dramaticallly. Essjay ( Talk • Connect) 00:34, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

90+ users use script that involves User:VoA/monobook.js. If you look at function AddRevertButtonsnorm(), you will notice that it adds revert links on. Could you make Filter Recent changes add these, and perhaps add something like User:Voice_of_All/Revert/monobook.js to the recent changes tool so that it know when to revert. It would have to have to check if you are using monobook or not. If that is not feasible, I'll try to see if I can somehow edit the filter recent changes page (kind of hard with no real DOM, I don't know...). Thanks. Voice-of-All Talk 21:54, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure whether or not this will effect what you're doing; however, there are a few problems with my current global lists that I will need to correct in the next release. The main problem is that anyone can remove a user from the global list but not from each individual's local list; thus, if Jimbo gets blacklisted, and everyone goes and retrieves the global BL, we can remove Jimbo from the list, but we can't do anything about the next time User:Example uploads his list, with Jimbo on it, back to the global list. My solution is pretty simple: imbed another list inside the current one for removed users that will not allow certain users to be reloaded to the list. I'll likely keep the same basic encryption scheme and stick the list simply within a separate set of brackets, so as long as you merely read the list enclosed by begin/end dump, this shouldn't effect what you're doing--just wanted to give you a heads up.
At the same time, I also have an idea completely unrelated to VandalProof or your anti-vandalism tool that I was going to suggest to you but kept forgetting. You seem to be the definite go-to guy for Wikipedia JS coding, whereas I'm quite a novice in the language, so I thought I'd see if you thought this was do-able. One thing that I would really like would be to have the oldids of each version appended at the end of the date in history views. I wrote a routine to do this in VandalProof, but the only way I knew to do it was to scrape the HTML of the page and write it back, which subsequently disables JavaScript on the page (including popups and the handy-dandy radio buttons). Basically what I want is to see is "08:30, 29 May 2006 (UTC) (99999)" on each item in the history without disabling the JavaScript on the page. Anyway, it's certainly not a high priority, so please don't let it get in the way of the other, much more important work you're doing. But if you could even just generally point me in the direction of some routines or JS commands to do this (or just tell me that it can't be done with Java), it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I've been thinking about that and I belive this is because popups is quite huge ;). The size of the file might be causing browsers to parse it as the last one that is updated. I don't have any proves of such behavior, but it usually happens when wiki is getting slow or very slow. So maybe there just isn't any solution to this? Or you could add some additional if-s around lines that gives errors? -- Nux talk | didn't answer? drop a note 02:10, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Your vandal tools are stunning. I especially like "filter recent changes". However what I desperately want is this: a page that looks exactly like Recent Changes, but simply updates.
So a carbon copy of RC that scrolls as changes are made. THAT would be awesome. (Esp. for RC patrolling!) Simplest way to do this is just to somehow load RC onto a special User:Lupin/RC realtime page and then force it to keep re-checking the information (refreshing if need be). -- Alfakim -- talk 21:43, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Have you ever thought of popups-light? It would be nice if some of the code would be incorporated with wiki also for guests (IPs). For example one could go over some inner-link and get quick info about some article whout actualy going in this article. The problem is usually with all sorts of abbreviations and such and this could even be good to wikiservers (user wouldn't click to the article). In addition I belive that wiki php-programers could work on a way to determin header infromation of some article and that way popups wouldn't load whole article (it does that now, correct?). -- Nux talk | didn't answer? drop a note 01:57, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I remebered one more... I was thinking of working on some javascript add-on that would generate JS code from an easy to fill HTML form. Some first version would simply be an easy way to configure popups in that manner. What do you think about it? -- Nux talk | didn't answer? drop a note 01:57, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
This would be quite easy if done outside of Wikipedia, but I'm not sure if this can be done inside...
To make it inside I'm thinking of creating some simple table with listed options and possible values. In that table there would be some span elements with title that would be the code to add. Those spans would have to have onclick event added (spans would have some specific class). Then when a user would click some submit-like link the text would somehow appear in the edit textarea... Not sure if the last is doable at all... Another problem would be - what if a user would have some previously set options? The text would already be in his .js... Or maybe this shouldn't be done so simple and user would simple have to copy paste some generated text. Nux talk | didn't answer? drop a note 22:41, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

And now reload and watch the yellow triangle appear and get used to it as almost all pages on the net have it ;). Most of warnings are probably not dangerous, but some might be or may point you to solving some unsolved problem (might even get popups to fully work under Opera and IE). Most of the warnings are:
Just recently I've made some JS algorithm test page that worked on FF, but not on both Opera and IE. Finally I've run Opera JavaConsole and found that there were some errors not shown in FF console. This in particular were:

Hello, Lupin. Again, Someone already responded my message yesterday. I'm so curious about wikipedian bots right now. Lupin, When I checked article for vandalism, there are some wikipedian bots who put another version language. Such bots User:YurikBot. In my opinion, Bots are usually fix the spelling, grammar mistakes in article, and put another language version from the source of article. To Arabic, Hebrew, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Armenian, German, Chinese etc. I personally think that some bots usually fight with vandalism. Lupin, I just visited Chinese Wikipedia, (P.S I'm Chinese Wikipedian), I saw that YurikBot added language form in Chinese Wikipedia. Does Wikipedian Bot know every language version because I really want to know about Bots. Does Wikipedian make an extra ID for Bots? Is making Bot ID for only admin? What do they use their own Bots ID for? Just explain to me in my discussion's page. I understand you don't like to respond in my talk-page. But please, Reply on my talk-page. Thanks.

I was playing around with regexps on Wikisource a few days and eventually got the point where I was running a monotonous search/replace using the Replace tab from here. I decided to use the AddLiMenu function to create a dropdown of regexps, so that you could just click and have them done, instead of clicking and pasting the regexp into the "Search", then hitting enter and typing the replace into "Replace".
I
got it working with a simple regexp: (\n), replace with $1$1, which doubles the whitespace (used it extensively when converting the Bible texts from HTML to templates). One of our latest projects is converting a rather ugly HTML header (
found here) into a simple template. The main issue is that, despite escaping the backslashes in the regexp, jumping through several hoops, dancing naked in the moonlight, etc, I can't get it to work. The regexp <div[\\s\\S\\n\\R ]*\\[\\[EBD1897:([^|]*)\\|[^\\]]*\\]\\][\\s\\S\\n\\R ]*\\[\\[EBD1897:([^|]*)\\|[^\\]]*\\]\\][\\s\\S\\n\\R ]*\\[\\[w:([^|]*)\\|[^\\]]*\\]\\][\\s\\S\\n\\R ]*</div>
seems to work fine when simply applying it to the page, but as an actual function,
like this, it doesn't work. Any idea on how I might get it to work?

A big complaint is that the help and info links are cluttering up articles. I thought perhaps we could put those links inside a javascript pop-up. People who don't have javascript will just see them the way they are now. I made a mock-up script, but it would need a lot of work before going live. You are an expert on pop-ups, so I'd like your opinion on whether this is a feasible idea. See Template_talk:Audio#Formatting — Omegatron 14:25, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
This works, more or less. It remains quite ugly, though :) By the way, people with CSS enabled but javascript disabled will not see these links, as things stand. To fix this, maybe the script should assign a new CSS class on page load to the relevant objects. This has the side-effect of them appearing while the page loads and then disappearing, though.

Check out this bit of vandalism. [42]
When I hover over the action link, the menu popup where I can revert has a space between it and the position of my mouse cursor. Since the popup disappears the moment I'm not hovering on action or the menu itself, it disappears when I go to it due the spacing inbetween the menu and the actin link. It even does this when hovering over that external link. Kevin_b_er 08:35, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Brilliant work as usual. But the toolbox really needs a "spellcheck this page" function. You click it, and then your tool analyses the page you were just on, thus allowing you to spellcheck your work any time. -- Alfakim -- talk 15:12, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Lupin. Using the 'original' structure I would like to have a link to a user's block log.
In my config. options I have popupAdminLinks=true and popupStructure='original'. Hovering over a user this gives a link to their log (their page moves etc) and the block page, but it does not give a link to the block log (to see if they have been blocked). I would like a link to the block log.
I know the link exists under different popupStructures, but is it possible to have it added to the 'original' structure? (I find that 'original' is the fastest and best structure for me). Thanks -- Commander Keane 02:39, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I upgraded my Firefox browser a few days ago to 1.5.0.4. I'm really not sure which version I had prior to that (I think it was 1.0). Since then I've had some problems with the pop-ups. When the mouse hovers over some links (but not others), I get a "spinning beachball" (i.e., Mac) mouse cursor for a few seconds, followed by an error message:
If I click "Stop" it clears up after about a second and I'm on my merry way (for a while). This doesn't happen with every link, just some, and I can't tell why some links set it off and others don't. Again, this is Firefox 1.5.0.4 and I use it on Mac OS X 10.3.9. I use the "classic" Wikipedia skin. Thanks! -- Gyrofrog (talk) 06:37, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I decided to start a new conv thread - the one above was getting a bit out of hand.

Can you help? Thanks! -- Yurik 06:40, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

When you revert in popups, there is &autoclick=wpSave in the url. Well, I have loads of subpages at User:GeorgeMoney/delpage that I want to delete, so I want to make it easier for the admin(s) deleting them. So, would it be possible for an admin with popups to use &autoclick=wpConfirmB which is the submit button for delete. Can this be achieved so all the admin has to do is press the "delete" link I have provided and the page will be deleted automatically instead of having to go to a form and click the button? -- GeorgeMoney ( talk) ( Help Me Improve!) 22:05, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Then copy that to User:GeorgeMoney/Welcome/Page and press the "welcome me" button which links to the user talk page and it auto adds the welcome.

Very cool tool.
I think more useful than "lastEdit" would be "lastContrib", especially when checking for vandalism. Often a user makes a series of edits in a short time span and simply looking at the diff for the last edit won't reveal all of the changes, only the last one. This is particularly true because if a significant edit was made and then the user noticed a typo or formatting issue that they immediately corrected, only the typo correction would be displayed. To determine if the last edit reflects all of the changes made by the last person to edit the file, you need to look at the history. So my request is for a "lastContrib" menu item that shows a diff between the last user (contributor) to edit the file and the first edit in the history made by a different user. (BTW, I realize doing this is probably not completely straight forward as lastEdit and all of the other current menu items use URLs that don't require any inspection of dynamic content such as the history, but given how responsive it is fetching the page stats, I'm guessing that the delay until the lastContrib menu item was displayed would be acceptable.)
Another possibly useful addition would be to have a "sinceMe" command that would be displayed for pages the user has editted. This would bring up a diff of all changes to the page since the last change from the current user. This would be EXTREMELY nice when going over links on your watchlist. – Doug Bell talk• contrib 12:26, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

I was actually thinking about this: detect when you are in preview mode and make the fix redirect and fix dab links for links in the preview alter the current edit box instead of the raw text from the server. The main problem I see is that you can no longer provide useful edit summaries automatically. Mike Dillon 18:50, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
I found that in Safari I already have this feature when I don't want it. Oddly enough, in two out of nine attempted edits when I had the popups on, it decided to popup about a link cited in the text I was editing (not on mouseover or anything), which deselected the editing box. Couldn't really type anything with the repeated deselection [47], so I had to turn it off. — Laura Scudder ☎ 23:16, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Is there a way to cause popups-assisted reversion edit summaries to reflect the name of the user that authored the version being reverted to, rather than the numeric rv id? Numeric ID's generate some confusion for other editors when reviewing edit summaries.

Hi there. I noticed the User:Brian0918 just altered the live version of popups.js from using Kate's tool to using Interiot's tool. I think there are a lot of people who assume that all changes are made by you, Lupin, and that they go through popupsdev.js first. Maybe the development policy should be made explicit at WP:POP. This doesn't really affect me, since I use a copy of popups.js in my own namespace, but I thought I'd bring it up since I noticed the change and didn't see any discussion beforehand.

I see that you've become quite a wizard with this thing, so I thought I'd bug you with an old feature request of mine again.

In the article "actions" menu, it would be nice to have a Google search option, perhaps "search|global|web" would fit without growing the menu. I would prefer that the resulting search query string be preceded by a single %22 quotation mark because (1) it's easier to remove than add, and (2) most of the searches are going to need to be exact phrase searches for verifiability.

I have translated the script into two variants of Norwegian ( nn:, no:). To keep it updated I must edit two copies of 200+ kB code that is identical except from the popupStrings definitions. Because of all the work (albeit far less than yours) and the constant risk of unintended unicode errors, I only translate the stable version, and run the dev version at en: only. Would it be possible to have a separate module of translated strings that could be called from monobook.js, and link directly to your original script – dev or stable – instead of some local copy?

Talk) 21:48, 17 February 2006 (UTC)Has anyone else mentioned problems when using either your popups or vandalism tool in conjunction with Sam Hocevar's godmode-light.js? Your tools work fine with Sam's script installed (yes, latest version of all), but I cannot revert using Sam's tool when I have either your popups or your anti-vandal script installed; I get various error messages, depending on what I'm trying to accomplish and which of your scripts is installed. I'd like to be able to use all of these tools, but with yours installed Sam's doesn't work, though the opposite doesn't seem to be true. I don't know where the conflict lies and I'm nowhere near experienced enough to troubleshoot beyond disabling one or the other. Just wondering at this point if anyone else has mentioned this.

Hi, I finally got around to adding the simplepopups option to my js after you suggested it earlier this month. My popups definitely have simplified in Firefox; however, the same does not seem to go for Opera. Were popups optimized for Firefox?

There are a number of redirects of the form:
#REDIRECT to [[...]]
And popups fails to display the redirect automatically. I'm not sure of the purpose of these redirects, so I've not called it a bug... (I've asked about them at Wikipedia_talk:Redirect.) Mark Hurd 01:20, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

I just started noticing transparent backgrounds in my popups instead of the normal manilaish colored background. Needless to say that makes the popup text rather hard to read. I switched from the dev back to regular version just in case that was it, but it wasn't... I looked for an option that might affect it but no joy there. Anyone else see this?

Lupin, I have a "revert as vandalism" rollback that I use...but it does not work when I add your pop-up tool. It always things the vandal is "undefined" and so it can't revert. I had to remove the pop-up scripts. Do you know what line of code is interfering and causing this? Thanks. Voice-of-All T| @| ESP 00:36, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
I noticed that if you fix a single disambig with the popups, all such disambigs in the page are fixed at the same time. But this doesn't seem to hold for redirects, for which it would make even more sense to auto-fix all the redirects. Why doesn't the popups tool do that? Is it simply you came up with the feature when you were putting in the disambig feature? If so, I'd appreciate it if you could enable it for redirects as well. -- maru (talk) contribs 03:14, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
When you hover over a link such as http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Lupin&diff=40665394&oldid=40660338, popups shows the diffs in the preview area. However, links with a "prev" instead of an id, such as http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Lupin&diff=prev&oldid=40665394 (which, by the way, links to the exact same diff page) are shown regularly in the preview window - the diffs are not shown in the latter link. Do you know why this happens? Thanks. -- M @ th wiz 20 20 21:48, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
hello i was editing my article and this is what i had right when you deleted it (i was trying to go into more detail so that it wouldn't be considered trash):
A jewbag is a common phrase, considered somewhat vulgar, and used by young people nowadays. It's a word you hear your friends say and everyone laughs. This isn't an actual word, just a common phrase. However, it is truly said a lot.
The word itself means nothing (just a word that is said a lot), but it is found offensive towards jewish people. A similar insult would be douchebag; a word with no direct meaning but still insulting.
Thanks..
Thanks for giving it another look Lupin. Much appreciated. Discordance 18:24, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Both the subst:

for the signature, or use Javascript like '{' + '{subst:...}}'
to fool MediaWiki.

Hello, just started using popups on Safari. It hasn't crashed for me (as it appears to have done for others) but the popups do have a nasty habit of not disappearing when the pointer moves away from the link. In fact the only way to make a popup disappear is to hover over a different link, making another popup. I opened up Firefox and Camino and neither had any trouble with popups. It's not a big thing obviously, and I wouldn't want to add to more work than you want, but it is pretty frustrating. Any idea if/when this problem will be fixed?
cheers - Thenugga 17:51, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Just found your great popup tool (and Wikipedia for that matter). I've been having some trouble with popups Safari (works great in Firefox). PithHelmet (an ad blocker) may be responsible for some of the crashing: before I added a site-specific preference I would get random crashes after doing a "reload unfiltered." After whitelisting Wikipedia, this no longer seems to happen, but I am getting really bad drawing errors (sometimes only yielding a very small empty square). I have some screenshots if they would help. Would something like this ever make it to the "my preferences" page?

Thanks for uploading Image:Countdown chimes.ogg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{ GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.

By the way, is it possible to structure the pg.string

The image in the popup is set to a constant width, which is ok as long as the image is not very thin and tall, like the one on Signpost pages; try links on {{ signpost-subscription}} to see what I mean.

Hi, I use Internet Explorer and once installed pop-ups into my book... jboo.. whatever, my chubaka page. After refreshing the browser, the new feature worked, but moving through a couple of pages (with or without the pop-ups' assistance) caused my browser to crash. No other negative effects have been observed and once I managed to uninstall the feature (by logging out and then logging back in on the appropriate page to remove the installation text), everything went back to normal. The entire affair happened between 16:16 and 17:15 on March 9 2006, as seen in the page history. Just thought you should know. -- Chodorkovskiy 15:27, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
If non-English parts of Wikipedia, popups.js tends to display «Page title#.D0.9B.D0.B5.D0.BD.D1.82.D0.B0.D0.B4.D1.80.D1.83.D0.B7.D0.B5.D0.B9.28.D1.84.D1.80.D0.B5.D0.BD.D0.B4.D» et cetera.
You'd use another instance of Title.prototype.decodeEscapes, starting with var split=txt.parenSplit(/(\.[0-9A-Fa-f]{2})/)

Hi Lupin, I've just noticed that (presumably with the change to summer time), your popup script is getting the times of edits wrong.
Looking at the history of the Great Depression article [76] I noticed:
i.e. The edit reverted to was made at 16:55 not 17:55 as reported by the popup's edit summary. Thryduulf 18:51, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
First, I have to say I really love your popups script. I have one suggestion though. When you revert a change to a page, the edit summary is by default
I would recommend changing that to wikipedia's standard of
and add "using popups" to the end of that one. -- Mets501 talk 22:27, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

When using preview popups in the edit window, articles with an ampersand (&) in the title don't preview - the ampersand and anything after it are ignored. For example in the edit window (but not otherwise) Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway gives a preview of the Somerset article. Thryduulf 00:22, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Making it easier for admins to make reverts is a good thing, but not if its at the expense of making a specific comment. I know thats a flaw in the rollback function, so its not in your court. But extremely easy navpop access to that fucntion may make it easier for some to grow abusive with it. Would there be a way to require a comment entry when admins use the rollback? - Ste| vertigo 03:56, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Lupin, I can't praise you enough for popups, I've been using it for quite some time, and have advertised it on my user page too, I reckon it's almost a default standard these days! First the praise then the favour... :-) I'm actually looking for some help/advice if you're not too busy. I helped out with the interface for Wikipedia:Good articles, but there are a few things I'd like it to be able to do. I'm on what seems a slow learning curve with templates and mediawiki being a pointy-clicky windows developer. I noticed this [77] and thought I could do something. My hack isn't good enough really. Having looked at the Monobook.js script I would have thought that it wouldn't take too much to create a show all - hide all button for the GA page. Have you any advice? Even if it's never going to go into Monobook a script could still go into individual monobooks for GA editors. Many thanks, and "viva la popups!"
var max=0; var navregex=/^\s*javascript:toggleNavigationBar[(](\d+)[)]\;?\s*$/; for (var i=0; i<document.links.length;++i) { if (navregex.test(document.links[i].href)) { var n=parseInt(document.links[i].href.match(navregex)[1],10); if(n>max) { max=n; } } } for (i=1; i<max; ++i) { toggleNavigationBar(i); }

i really like this tool a lot, it has helped my anti-vandalizing work immensely since most of it seems to come from anonymous users. i've noticed though that when i click on the article name to get the diff page, i get a new window on my home comupter, but not on my work computer. the link sources are hidden in js, so i can't see how the target is working. i was hoping you could shed some light on how the link targets are written. thanks. -- stubblyhead | T/ c 20:43, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

You use to say it should be possible to import, I've tried many things and it still doesn't work. I'm sure you don't have much time, but I'd really like to be able to use your wonderfull (I've not found a better word) tool and so, being explained how to.

Hello there, mate. This isn't a big deal, so if you're busy, don't bother about it, all right? It's about your script here, used to allow for shift-selecting. It works great, but that's not the trouble. The thing is that when I added it to my .js file ( User:Blackcap/standard.js, I use the Classic skin), it removed my link to Kate's Tool. I'm no java wizard, so I'm afraid I don't know what to do about it, but I reckoned I'd just let you know about the bother. Take care, and thatnks for all your scripting work, Blackcap (talk) 17:38, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
The sinceMe and lastContrib links in PopUps work great—these are definitely the links I use the most. So now I have another suggestion...
I would like a "search" link in PopUps to be displayed for red links (empty pages). It should go directly to the search page in a new window. Ideally, if the search page supports passing these as parameters, it should automatically check the box for the namespace used by the link so that namespace is included in the search. This probably isn't needed for User and User talk namespace red links, although I suppose there isn't any reason to specifically make it not work for these.
The rationale for this is that I frequently will open the page for a red link just to get at the search link on the create page. Often, I'm looking to see if there is an article so that I can either fix the red link or create a redirect. This would probably become my third most used link. :-) — Doug Bell talk• contrib 19:38, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Lupin,
How hard would it be to make popups preview interwiki links? This way i can hover the mouse over interwiki language links and preview foreign language pages without clicking on them. What would be even greater is that i will be able to generate pages of interwiki conflicts and the user will easily be able to browse pages by moving their mouse. Thanks!
P.S. I left a similar message for Pilaf - wasn't sure who is maintaining the popup code.

The "editors" link makes a list of editors who have contributed to an article – that is, an article at en.wikipedia.org, because the editor listing script doesn't seem to take dbname as an argument. I suppose you can't fix this directly in the popup script, but if or when the editor listing accepts the extra argument you'll probably want to have it in the popup script, too. -- Eddi ( Talk) 23:17, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

When clickling the "count" link to access a user's edit count from a popup on en, you are taken directly to the page that displays the edit count for that user on en. When you do the same on Commons it just takes you to the edit counter page where you have to enter the username and wiki manually. Could the Commons behaviour be adjusted to match the en behaviour?

Lupin: I'm using your section navigation javascript dohickey (the one which moves via j and k), and I've noticed that under cologneblue (at least; I have yet to test any of the other skins), the j and k keys are grabbed even when one is typing in the search box. If there is a searchbox under the tabs, then that one can be typed into alright, but the one on the upper left, in the sidebar, is useless for anything spelled with a j or k. -- maru (talk) contribs 18:26, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Is there any way to build in a delay of about 2 minutes for your anti-vandalism tool? So that IP edits that are reverted within the first minute won't be displayed. This way your tools can be better utilized for what it excels at; picking up more subtle vandalism that could be missed by bots and CDVF users. I understand it may involve asking developers for system resources; but until we begin establishing stable articles I think this is really important. Other smaller suggestions I'd have is to default Hide talk pages on, and add another option "Auto toggle results". - Roy Boy 800 18:56, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
I really like the ability to correct links to disambiguous pages with a single click, it's making editing a lot faster. I was just wondering if it was possible to add the feature to allow me to automatically change the links that point to non disambiguous pages that have a "This article is about the whatsit foo, for the thingamabob, see foo (bar)." It would be useful to be able to disambiguate the link to foo (bar) right away. (For example, Revolutions per minute has an intro link to Revolutions Per Minute (album) so when I found a link to the album as Revolutions Per Minute, it would be useful to be able to automatically fix it, instead of having to go in and manually do it.) I notice that the script cuts out any lines like that at the start of the article, so it looks like the program could check for any links in that section an give them as disambiguous options, that's just an option I see, without knowing all the programming details.
On a more ambitous note, it might be useful, if it points to foo (disambiguous), to pull up all the links on foo (disambiguous) as well, but that might be a bit much.
Thanks for a very useful tool. -- Nekura 21:40, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

I have one feature request: when checking my watchlist, I find myself constantly clicking on history links, because the watchlist only shows the last change and I need to know if any earlier changes occurred that I might have missed.

Hello, I thought I would give you a quick run down of the situation for your maps in Scotland. As a result of discussion on infobox map standardisation here a wee while ago your maps are generally not being used now. Rather than just going ahead and putting a lot of maps up for deletion I thought I would let you know first. I don't know if you want them kept for continuity (given the very large number of maps already in the category). There has been some comment on this issue here over the last few months. If you don't have any problems with the IFD then I will just work through the category putting orphaned Scottish maps up for deletion. SFC9394 21:40, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I have not searched through all the talk archives; please feel free to point me there if my question has been answered already.

Yup, I get strange behaviour (with IE) when I let the mouse pointer hover over a link positioned close to the bottom of the browser window: the popup "post-it window" is cut short at the browser window border. This doesn't seem to be a problem with links placed to the extreme right, say---there, one gets the expected behaviour, i.e. the popup is placed into the browser window so that the entire popup window displays OK. Any comments? -- Wernher 01:43, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Would it be possible in your pop-ups extension to have an automated way to insert {{ welcome}} onto a users talk page, just by hovering over their user page link? It would make it easier to welcome users---say you see a contributing user through the revision history. You could then just hover over the link, and select welcome, without ever leaving the page. Is this possible, and would you be willing to add it, if it is?

That patch seems right. Hm, missing mouseout events would be browser bug, so you'll need a workaround. It looks like overLIB provides a means for you to check that the mouse is still over the link at the time the timer fires. That would avoid excess popups. (Also, the "window.xyz = function" changes shouldn't be required, as far as I can tell.) -- Taral 01:08, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
Oh, another note... ideally you would want to capture the popup's mouseout event for dismissal, instead of polling every 500ms. Reduces browser CPU, increases interactivity, etc. Not sure if that's possible, though. -- Taral 01:11, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi Lupin. What do you think about adding a "touch" link? This link would perform a "touch" or "null edit" via autoedit. I looked into adding it myself, but the link generation stuff was a little complicated to make a simple change. The touch functionality is useful for working around certain MediaWiki bugs associated with the "What links here" functionality. You probably know, but it is done manually by making an "edit" with no changes and clicking "Save Page" without an edit summary. It seems like it would be a lot like the "Bypass redirect" functionality, except with no change or edit summary. Let me know what you think. Mike Dillon 19:37, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

I generated the Edo stub by looking at other Wikipedia articles (namely "Hojo Ujitsuna" and "Uesugi Tomooki" (the two commanders at that battle)). That brings me to an important question. What is Wikipedia's policy on internal citation (i.e. citing other wikipedia articles)?
Hello, good work on Space warfare, and thanks for the contribution. However, you forgot to add any references to the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. From what websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Space warfare? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? You can simply add links, or there are several different citation methods list at WP:CITET. Thanks! Lupin| talk| popups 20:06, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello you left a message on my IP-based talk page. I got the information from Working Lunch, a BBC program who had a feature on the economy of the Island.
Lupin, I've been engaged in head-on conflict with Striver for months. I'm an uptight academic; he is ... well, the kindest term might be "free spirit". There is not, so far as I know, any recognized field called Islamic Christianity studies within the traditional Islamic curriculum. There is, however, a doctrine called al-tahrif al-lafzi, the corruption of the text, which says that differences between the accounts of Biblical history in the Qur'an, and such accounts as found in the Torah and the New Testament, are due to Jews and Christians having corrupted divinely revealed texts. Tahrif al-lafzi is discussed in the Quran article and also in Similarities between the Bible and the Qur'an. It would probably be considered a subset of the traditional Islamic sciences of tafsir and ulum.
As he often does, Striver seems to prefer not to work on already established articles (where he usually ends up in revert wars with the other editors), he just establishes his own articles on the same topic -- without consulting anyone. Instead of editing the Similarities article (which seems to have been extant for a long time and to have involved numerous editors, Striver has set up Islamic Christianity studies, Muslim comparative religionists, List of Muslim comparative religionists, Islamic view of the Bible, Islamic comparative religion, and so on. He sets up misspelled stubs which are either deleted or completely ignored.
What can be done? Myself, I'm in favor of setting a hard-coded limit on the number of new articles a user can create per month. Zora 23:07, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

popupsdev.js is a really useful script for our WikiProject, but I wondered if I could make a small request.

I've noticed that if you access a page through a redirect, and you try to bypass a redirect on the target page, the script will try to edit the original redirect page instead of the proper one.
If what I said is confusing, here's an example: The page Planck redirects to Max Planck. If I accessed the page through Planck instead of the proper Max Planck, then the script will try to "fix" Planck instead of correcting the link on Max Planck. -- Ixfd64 04:20, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your note, you're going back a while though as its been a long time since I edited that article. The changes I made were based on common general knowledge obtained over a long time from a vaiety of sources. I don't have any specific references to note. There is a fair bit of work to do on that article though as it is still a bit simplistic. I don't really have much time to work on it, though if I have spare time I'll try, so if you have the time & inclination to please research the topic, edit the page & note your own references.

I must confess, I'm really awful at citing my sources. This was sort of on my agenda, I was going to add all of these cricketing names and then add a link at the bottom afterwards when I ran through them again which basically said the following:
The one thing that confused me about the sourcing at the time, was that I'm sure way back when we had a template for Cricinfo sourcing, but I cannot recall what it looked like. I wasn't going to start doing these soon, as it seemed a large project to undertake, but since you mentioned it, I will start tackling them as soon as possible. As it stands, I don't really have a project which is close to completion (I'm currently working through County Cricketers) but I will add as many of these sources as possible.
Thank you for noting this. As I have said, this is one of my many problems, remembering when and what to source. I promise to get it sorted very soon. Bobo192 05:58, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

I hate to bug you again (no pun intended) about the popups, but I think I may have found another bug.

I find the current popup tooltip help is full of fallacies of definition. For instance, the help for "null edit" is "make a null edit to <article name>". For someone like me who doesn't know what a null edit is, that's not helpful. Same for Edit, History, etc. -- Doradus 19:25, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
Current concensus:
They seem pretty good to me. I don't think mentioning Special:Watchlist is helpful for neophytes; "my watchlist" is probably better. You can find a definition of a null edit here. When I do use them, it's mainly to update Special:Whatlinkshere and the Image links section on image pages when they get out of synch due to mediawiki bugs. There may be other uses that I'm not aware of, though. Lupin| talk| popups 00:20, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello Lupin! Thanks for the compliments on my work on the Fantastics article. I am sorry but I do not have specific sources for that article. I used to have on my User Page (before I basically quit editing on Wikipedia) a message about why. I used to keep about 5+ notebooks full of pro wrestling notes such as title changes, wrestler stats, etc. from watching wrestling from the early 1980's until early 2005. I created several articles from what I saw on the actual TV shows and from old wreslting magazines such as Pro Wrestling Illustrated, Inside Wrestling and others. So, I don't have any specific sources. You can verify most of my information with any google search and just check pages or any of those wrestling titles sites as well.

ret.push(s.replace(RegExp('([-|.()\\+:!,?*^${}\\[\\]])', 'g'), '\\$1'));
This line takes the string s, and escapes all the odd regex characters with backslashes. It then appends this strings to the array ret.
window.badWords=RegExp("<td class=['\"]diff-addedline['\"]>.*(([^-{}.\s'=wI:*#0-9A-F])\\2{2,}|\\b(" + ret.join('|') + ")[\\b\\|]).*</td>", 'im');
This line joins all the strings in the array ret with a pipe character ( ret.join("|") ), so that this part of the regex will match any one of them. It then puts a little context in (so that we only match new bits of the diff) and makes a regex from that string, which is stored as window.badWords. Lupin| talk| popups 02:03, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

When attempting to click on any link within a pop-up, I am getting a Javascript error: "Line 2479: Error: 'shiftKey' is null or not an object" Line 2479, for your convenience, is the following line in function makeOverDraggable():
Drag.start=function (e) { if (!e.shiftKey) return;

I noticed on the popups page that there are issues with Safari crashing when popups are implemented. I'm running your script, with Simplepopups = true, but I'm not having this problem. I can't get the popups to show up at all. Would you mind taking a look at User:WAvegetarian/monobook.js? The popups script is visible from the top of the page without scrolling. -- WAvegetarian (talk) (email) (contribs) 11:23, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Would it be possible to allow your Popups script to convert Unicode characters from their HTML codes to their proper symbols? See Curpsbot-unicodify if you're not sure what I'm talking about. -- Ixfd64 01:17, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your scripts. I like it very much, everything works so much faster, I especially like the previews and then I am also using it for redirect fixing and link disambiguation. I post you, however, not because I want to thank you, but (sorry) to ask you about this strange redirect fix. Ok, I know, I could have checked more thoroughly. I corrected many redirect that day and forgot to check. Maybe you can change something so the script wouldn't put in useless (are they?) underscores? Thanks (you can answer here).

Kate has changed the dbname values from e.g. enwiki and nnwiki to enwiki_p and nnwiki_p. Now, when the edit counter is selected via popups in any wikipedia it defaults to enwiki_p because of wrong dbname. Do you have to hack the script to fix this, or will it go over by itself? Is there some automatic communication between Kate and the script? -- Eddi ( Talk) 19:04, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Another user mentioned that he had experienced some memory leak causing the computer to run slowly, and he suspected it was due to popups.js. Performance improved after restart. Do you know anything about memory leak in connection with these popups? Has the script been validated with respect to memory usage and cleanup? -- Eddi ( Talk) 19:04, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
I was thinking after trying your filter recent changes script whether there was a way to filter for strings of capital letters. If it is possible, I'm sure that could be a nice addition to the bad word filter. If the scripts use java, all that would take is a simple check to see looping say, through the first 3 letters only as to not overload the system (the rest would probably be assumed capital letters) to see if when the individual character of each string is converted to its numerical form, whether it is within the range of capital letters (I don't know what that range is off the top of my head).

I think that transclusion of javascript pages should be enabled, so that the whole javascript is loaded in one request, but developers seem to consider it unsafe [84].
The other thing, using it to include other pages than user .js pages. That might not be a very good idea. We probably don't want people to include javascript from unprotected pages. But, since we may want to have some sort of approved scripts in the future, I registered User:Tools, which we could use for that purpose, i.e. include_js("Tools/Popups").

First I want to say you frikin' rock. This thing is great, better than whatever was better before sliced bread. I have a question though. When I preview my user page I see it as it appeared before my last edit. Just to test it I removed a section and then saved the page. The text that I removed still shows up in the preview. My guess is you are actually pulling the previews from the server cache or something. Am I right about that? It's not really a big deal, and if it is coming from cache then I realize there is probably not much you can do about it. I'm just curious is all. Keep doing kewl stuph.-- ◀Puck talk▶ 13:02, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Ok, it may be difficult to see in the thumbs, but the text in the preview that starts with "Word usage" is in section 3.2 of the page. The preview skips over the first paragraph and and 3.1 more sections before it grabs any text. The refresh issue is not as big a deal to me as this text skipping. I'm not bitching or anything, I'm just trying to help get the kinks worked out cause I really enjoy using this tool.-- ◀Puck talk▶ 14:51, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

A few minutes ago, my monobook file ( User:King of Hearts/Monobook.js) was suddenly deleted without any reason. Now, after I recreated it, the popups don't work. Did I do something wrong, or is there a problem with the popups? -- King of Hearts | (talk) 01:10, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
The automatic disambiguation leads you to an automatic "Show Changes" instead of "Save". See Wikipedia talk:Tools/Navigation popups#Problem for more details. -- King of Hearts | (talk) 01:51, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Made some changes. Wondering if there is a way to allow for an edit this function —concievably something similar to how the fix redirect function works, only it does not engage the save button - ie. it opens the editor and just finds the word the mouse was pointing to. ? - MagnaMopus 06:50, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Popups ideas: 1) Allow disambiguations to show more lines in preview (2x current) 2) Allow autofix of disambig links, based on the 'fix redirect' function:
Foo may refer to: * Foobar (fix) * Foobles (fix)
For easier visual flow I'd suggest highlighting the updating rows with a color and/or box, and putting after the toggle link a "clear" or "restart" link. Which would clear all the results and start fresh; essentially its a Recent IP link to restart things. Because if you get distracted with something for a few minutes you know what you are looking at isn't new and you can either to go the trouble of finding the most recent toogle at the bottom, or going up and clicking Recent IP's again. - Roy Boy 800 00:11, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

This tool breaks down an article's edits by its editors (only for mainspace articles). Can you add it to the popup, using a name like "count".

Would it be possible to allow the user the choice of edit counters? I find Interiot's tool to be a bit nicer than Kates.... my suggestion is a new preference var which defaults to 'kate' but when set to 'interiot' uses this tool:
instead of this one
(that way the var value is just substituted into the URL as they are otherwise the same) Why? Interiot's tool is much more feature rich, I think, although it's based off Kate's.
Also, while I have your ear, if you can cram in a link to this tool:
that would be awesome. Being able to walk what the user contributed is very powerful stuff. Thanks again (you can reply here, I'll see it), I speak for many when I say I can't live without this tool (I find myself hovering over links on other wikis, and wondering why nothing happens, a lot) ++ Lar: t/ c 07:32, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
I asked on IRC and User:kmccoy said to come to you first:
In the Hurricane Katrina history, there are the following edits in this order:
(cur) (
last) 00:38, January 20, 2006 AySz88 (Popups-assisted reversion to revision 35895397)
(cur) (
last) 00:36, January 20, 2006 The pi pirate (Popups-assisted reversion to revision 35895397)
(cur) (
last) 00:36, January 20, 2006 131.52.121.101 (→Evacuation and emergency shelters)
(cur) (
last) 00:34, January 20, 2006 131.52.121.101 (→Synopsis)
If you look at the diffs, it appears that the first revert missed the second vandal edit, for some reason. I thought that it might be some sort of race condition with the Wiki software (like the revert edit got saved into history after the vandal edit, but applied to the article before it), but kmccoy said he thought it that the first revert "was started in popups before the second vandalism, but didn't actually happen on wikipedia until after it (since it happens client-side.)", so it could be something in the Popups. I thought you might want to take a look at what happened. -- AySz88^ - ^ 05:58, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Some actions in the popup menu don't warrant the opening of a page, e.g. watch or unwatch (in my opinion). Other actions typically warrant a new window or tab with the respective action, such as edit actions, particularly when the link is a page and the action is a talk page (or vice versa). Could the behaviour of certain actions be modified by default or by options? -- Eddi ( Talk) 12:33, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about Kooorooo going around and deleting the images off your page. This KKK member is basically angry that I deleted a pic of Britney off his page, as it legitimately violated Wikipedia:Fair use policies #2, 7, 8, 9.

Just to let you know that I have moved this image to Commons and tagged it as {{ NCT}}. A question: the history for the image suggest that it has been uploaded by a bot.

If not, what do you think is the appropriate course of action?
Hello. I've got a several questions that I've been meaning to ask you for a while.
1) Has anybody using Firefox ever reported that they had increased RAM use when using your popups? I'd like to use your popups because they're obviously useful, and people keep asking me how my tools interact with yours, and because I've got more tools to write that would be enhanced by the popups. But my work machine only has 256mb RAM, and it really seems like Firefox seems to leak or otherwise use a lot of memory when I have the popups activated (particularly when I look at Special:Contributions with limit=5000 or something).
2) Is adding new links to the popups relatively straightforward? You just use DOM to insert things into the popup area? Haza-w created this to add my counter, and very similar code could be used to link to my contribution tree tool?
3) (more of a wish-list than a question, feel free to skip) There's two features in particular that I would like to see wider use of, and eventually I'd like to see it added to MediaWiki itself. I don't know if you've played around with my contribution tree tool very much, but one of its core features is the ability to list a single person's contributions to a single page ( for example). That's something that would be nice to be triggered from history views, either via popups, or perhaps by MediaWiki itself.
The second feature is that I think one should be able to jump from this or this sort of view into this view (eg. where the first version on the list is the one you started with... it makes it easier to jump from the Special:Contributions list for a specific person into the middle of a page-specific history). I don't think that sort of thing is currently possible with MediaWiki? If not, the popup might be able to help do that? -- Interiot 19:04, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Weather radar.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{ GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Hi! Have you experienced a switch from default 3 days to default 12 hours watchlist recently? It happened to me and others at no: on Thursday (not improved yet) and at nn: today. No problems at en: so far. Do you think it could be related to monobooks.js or popups.js? Personally I doubt it, because I use the same scripts (the stable version) at no: and nn: and I don't think it explains a 5 days lagtime between initiation of the problem. Any other explanations you could think of? Thanks. -- Eddi ( Talk) 23:53, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Very cool tool.
I think more useful than "lastEdit" would be "lastContrib", especially when checking for vandalism. Often a user makes a series of edits in a short time span and simply looking at the diff for the last edit won't reveal all of the changes, only the last one. This is particularly true because if a significant edit was made and then the user noticed a typo or formatting issue that they immediately corrected, only the typo correction would be displayed. To determine if the last edit reflects all of the changes made by the last person to edit the file, you need to look at the history. So my request is for a "lastContrib" menu item that shows a diff between the last user (contributor) to edit the file and the first edit in the history made by a different user. (BTW, I realize doing this is probably not completely straight forward as lastEdit and all of the other current menu items use URLs that don't require any inspection of dynamic content such as the history, but given how responsive it is fetching the page stats, I'm guessing that the delay until the lastContrib menu item was displayed would be acceptable.)
Another possibly useful addition would be to have a "sinceMe" command that would be displayed for pages the user has editted. This would bring up a diff of all changes to the page since the last change from the current user. This would be EXTREMELY nice when going over links on your watchlist. – Doug Bell talk• contrib 12:26, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

I was actually thinking about this: detect when you are in preview mode and make the fix redirect and fix dab links for links in the preview alter the current edit box instead of the raw text from the server.

Hey there,
Is there a way to cause popups-assisted reversion edit summaries to reflect the name of the user that authored the version being reverted to, rather than the numeric rv id? Numeric ID's generate some confusion for other editors when reviewing edit summaries.

Lupin -- the popups are a great tool! Thanks for doing this. One minor suggestion, for fixing double-redirects. Suppose "[[Foo]]" is a redirect to "[[Bar]]" and "[[Bar]]" is a redirect to "[[Baz]]". If I am on the [[Foo]] page and use the pop-up to fix the redirect, it wants to change #REDIRECT [[Bar]] to #REDIRECT [[Baz|Bar]]. The |Bar part isn't necessary in this context and might be confusing to anyone else who is tracing redirects. -- Russ Blau (talk) 13:36, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi Lupin. Thanks for letting me know about the popups tool. I tried it out for a while, and did find it useful. However, it was also a bit annoying: I found the popups worked only haphazardly; they often appeared when I didn't want them, or at times, wouldn't when I did.

Would you happen to know how to make a firefox extension? It would be very simple and used to fight vandalism. The basic idea is to feed RC diff's into firefox, and let it determine which pages contain text (such as an obscenity) listed in a file. For pages that don't contain anything on this list, the tab is closed. The others remain open and ready to be examined. If you can't figure out how to hookup the IRC RC output into firefox, then it could be used with CDVF to open new tabs in firefox to be checked. I found a guide to making extensions, but it says you need to know Javascript. Thanks. — BRIAN 0918 • 2005-10-30 03:45

function getDiffLinks(){ var links = document.getElementById("a"); var diffs = []; var c = 0; //counter variable // this will go through all links in the page looking for diff links and add them to the diffs array for(var i=o; i<links.length; i++){ if(links[i].innerHTML="diff") { diffs[c] = links[i].href; c++; } } // this will open the diffs in new tabs for(var i=0; i<diffs.length; i++) { window.open(diffs[i]); } }
If you have the Tab Mix Plus extension, you can set new windows to open in tabs.

... for when you get around to extracting bits of pages for the popups: it would be brilliant if there was a popup menu on the username in the top bar that listed all the pages in one's userspace, for one-click access to sandboxes etc.
In the meantime, it would be good enough if the menu displayed a certain page from the user's userspace, say, User:XY/Popup links, so that any user could construct a customized shortcut menu. Zocky 20:19, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

I should also let you know that NullC is working on a truly unprecedented anti-vandal bot. He says that he took all the database histories, looked for the changes between any "Reverted edits from X to Y", and ran a bayes scan on all of them, to turn it into sort of a junkmail filter for vandalism. If it ever comes to life, it will probably be the last anti-vandalism tool we'll ever need, but he gave no indication as to when it would be done, or if he was in the process of starting it, so it could be months or years. Until then, I'm sure your tool will be do the trick for catching most of the vandalisms not caught by other tools. — BRIAN 0918 • 2005-11-1 05:05

First off, let me thank you for developing such a wonderful tool. I swear by it. After using the latest version(s) of popups.js for a while, I decided to revert back to an older version, one without pulldowns. The pulldown menus were driving me mad and causing problems when the popup window would appear on the right of the screen. For example, if hovering over certain text on the far right of the screen while reviewing two article diffs, parts of the popup pulldown window would be cut off and inaccessible. A similar problem would happen if the text is at the bottom of the screen as well. The other reason I've reverted back is that I preferred the simplicity of having everything I needed in one popup, rather than having to navigate and mouse over to an additional pulldown menu to initiate a task. The version I switched back to is the one you released on September 25, 2005 at 13:14:45 EDT; is this the most recent version before pulldowns were added?

Any chance that popups on image links could say how many times the image is used? It would be very useful for finding orphaned images... Justinc 11:29, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi Lupin, you must rue the day you wrote popups.js with all these requests for new features. Well, just to cheer you up, here's another =:-) When hovering over a link near the right hand edge of the browser the popup window 'snaps' back in so that it is fully visible. This doesn't happen if links are close to the bottom (in Firefox at any rate). Any chance that this could be fixed so that the popup window 'snaps' up so that it is fully visible? I know that I can shift-drag it if need be, but this would be a nice feature to match the behaviour at the right browser edge. Thanks. -- Cactus.man ✍ 20:08, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Hey Lupin! I'm unfamiliar with the block on that IP and the related style of vandalism. Perhaps you could unblock my 15 minute block that I placed so that it can be overridden with yours if it's more appropriate? Thanks! -- HappyCamper 04:14, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
I won't bother with the thread this time, but it would be nice if you could respond on my talkpage, since it's really hard for me to keep track of all the comments I post. Thanks a lot.
It would be pretty nice if you could add a delete link to your navigational popups. I know what you may be thinking: 'why delete something if you haven't even seen it yet?' Keep in mind, though, that MediaWiki provide [rollback] even in places where the admin may not have seen the diff. Also, some articles have blatantly inappropriate titles, an obviously usefool application.
Thanks, Ingoolemo talk 06:02, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
This is great! I did notice one oddity, it doesn't show the links to the names of the former and latter editors, like what you would see on a normal diff page. It's just blank there, so I can't rollback. — BRIAN 0918 • 2005-11-11 06:37

Lupin, I just discovered the anti-vandal tool! It's great — just one suggestion: would it be possible to place the rollback link directly on the page where it first is flagged, instead of having to click to the actual diff? Thanks. Flcelloguy ( A note? ) 22:55, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Did you see my email about adding the Rollback button?
Also, NullC has released a bot for #wikipedia-en-vandalism on Freenode IRC called 'roomba'. It essentially does the same thing as your tool, but it works database-side, so that it doesn't produce the same server load as your tool. You may want to talk with him. — BRIAN 0918 • 2005-11-12 15:01
It appears that your ani-vandal tool causes each person using it to have the servers generate a difference of each edit in recent changes. Is this correct?
If it is, the tool is a problem. Differences are not cached, are high CPU load to generate and the site performance is currently CPU-limited on the Apache servers which generate the difference. Graph illustrates this, showing the Apache CPUs at 100% use (with variation due to uneven load balancing) for many hours at peak times. Having tens or hundreds of people producing difs of the same thing at those times isn't a good thing. If diff results were cached, it wouldn't matter, but they aren't, at present.
What would be useful is some way for a single person to generate and make the results available to all. Server-side scripting or a tag added by the MediaWiki software would be one way to do that, without significant CPU cost. Or some other way for one client to generate the dif and share the results with others. Ideal would be someone adding code to cache the difs though. Jamesday 15:33, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
I guess the 'roomba' in the IRC vandalism channel is the one that you wrote. At the moment, it catches additions of speedy notices to articles but it ignores the removal of CSDs. It would be good if it tracks them too. thanks, Tintin 15:35, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi Lupin, these popups are wonderfull extension to wikipedia, thanks! Is there an german version, or could it use the mediawiki-templates for labelling most of the added links? --
<Lupin> anyone know where i can find the code which governs the generation of the recent changes rss feed? <TimStarling> Lupin... <TimStarling> are you the guy who wrote that script to process the RSS feed? <TimStarling> in javascript? <TimStarling> yes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Lupin/recent2.js <TimStarling> I read your code, and I was thinking about the problem you reported <TimStarling> we were discussing it in this channel a couple of days ago <TimStarling> the code is in SpecialRecentchanges.php, towards the end <TimStarling> the problem is the caching model it uses * Rdsmith4 (n=Rdsmith4@wikipedia/Rdsmith4) Quit ("This computer has gone to sleep") <TimStarling> it's a very poor model, it has to be fixed <TimStarling> basically it generates 50 diffs, probably takes a couple of minutes, then it generates the feed and saves it to memcached with some expiry time <TimStarling> there's two problems with that <TimStarling> the first is the problem you've noticed, which is that the expiry time doesn't match the typical time for 50 edits to scroll by <TimStarling> the second is that when the memcached key expires, every thread which tries to access the RSS feed will start generating the complete feed from scratch <TimStarling> at a high request rate, that's a performance disaster <TimStarling> so what I'd like to do is generate the diff at save time <TimStarling> at save time, both revisions have already been loaded, it's just an extra 50ms or so of processing time <TimStarling> then we could save each diff into a table in the database, or into memcached <TimStarling> with cached diffs, generating the feed would be much faster, and we could do various tricky things to reduce the cache time <TimStarling> such as clearing the cache after every 50 saves, according to rc_id mod 50 -> [Lupin] PING

Lupin, thanks for adding the rollback link to the anti-vandal tool! Just a quick question: is there anyway to improve the speed of the rollback? The rollback on the anti-vandal took takes a significantly longer time to revert than does the "normal" rollback; is there any way to change this? Thanks a lot. Flcelloguy ( A note?) 22:52, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but the "revert" link doesn't show up on the popup. I've tried hovering over article links in the page histories, but no "revert" button comes up. Is there something that I'm doing wrong?
Thanks. -- Ixfd64 05:44, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I have a little suggestion for your wonderful popups. The LiveOptions is great but a bit obsrusive. Why not create a separate pulldown(ouside the popup itself) menu for options, or even hijack user preferences for it.– Gnomz 007( ?) 23:03, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for helping control the vandals on the article, it's very much appreciated.

When using your popups with admin functions enabled, hovering over a user link gives an option to block the user. Would it be possible for you to add a link to the block log for the user?

Hey, this tool is really excellent, if you even ever come to Adelaide please do let me know – I owe you a couple of beers/vodkas/coffees (depends what you like to drink!).

It's became very popular on pl Wiki and with your permission of course, I'd like to copy it to my user page there and translate it to Polish. Cheers, Roo72 06:09, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
This was working, although slowly, for me a day or two ago. Then it seemed to be causing performance issues so I turned on the simple switch. That made it seem to stop working. So I turned it off entirely. Now I'm trying it again without the simple switch, but with the dab switch. The popups do appear, just without the dab info. I'm using firefox on winxp. Any ideas?

Hi Lupin. The redirection bypass pop-up doesn't seem to be working properly for links which redirect to Special edition. For example, it tries to redirect Limited edition to [[Special edition|Special Edition]] instead for just redirecting to [[Special edition]]. Is this something you can fix?

The reverting function works properly on the new version! Thanks!
However, there is another problem. The script will result in an error unless I put my cursor over certain links first. For example, if I put my cursor over a "diff" link first, the popup will not show up, and I will get the "error on page" message on my browser. However, if I put my cursor over a link to an editable page first, and then move my cursor to a "diff" link, it will work properly. -- Ixfd64 01:21, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

where the foos are regexps to be replaced, and the bars are the replacements. The flags are lists of characters which affect how the match is made, for example 'g' for global (replace all matches, not just the first), 'i' for case-insensitivity and so on. Also, the forward slashes can be replaced with any other character. Use \n for a newline. For example, using

A couple of suggestions for the popups, the one I suspect is easier first.
Amid an ongoing peer review of the article on The Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation, I would please like you to read my comments for its improvement, then examine the article as a whole and see whether you agree with me.

Hi Lupin. What do you think about adding a "touch" link? This link would perform a "touch" or "null edit" via autoedit. I looked into adding it myself, but the link generation stuff was a little complicated to make a simple change. The touch functionality is useful for working around certain MediaWiki bugs associated with the "What links here" functionality. You probably know, but it is done manually by making an "edit" with no changes and clicking "Save Page" without an edit summary. It seems like it would be a lot like the "Bypass redirect" functionality, except with no change or edit summary. Let me know what you think. Mike Dillon 19:37, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello, good work on Space warfare, and thanks for the contribution. However, you forgot to add any references to the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. From what websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Space warfare? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? You can simply add links, or there are several different citation methods list at WP:CITET. Thanks! Lupin| talk| popups 20:06, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Lupin - The popup disambiguation tool is truely great, so far its worked like a charm! Thanks a lot!

I haven't tried it to see what happens. --best, kevin ··· Kzollman | Talk··· 00:23, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
Lupin!! KZollman pointed me to your fabulous dab tool within popups! Works great. :-) I think I've performed over 1,000 dab corrections using the tool. The only thing I have to do manually is when a link is redirected to a disambig page. I have to find and fix those manually (or temporarily redirect the redirect page to the dab page and use your awesome tool). ;-) An example is Keyboard. Keyboards redirects to Keyboard which is a disambiguation page. So, there were a couple hundred links to Keyboards which most of them should have been Keyboard instrument. Even though the popup tool shows the ability to dab the link, it doesn't find it cause it is looking for the wrong wiki tag :-).

On RC patrol I often see meagre little articles on English villages which aren't deletable, but in themselves just look sad and unloved.

Just a note about the use of this template. It is generally intended for articles that are specifically problematic, not just any that are missing references. Adding it to every unreferenced article has been rejected in numerous discussions. Also it is not meant to go at the top of articles. If yu look at the talk page of the template, it is universally agreed that it belongs either on the talk page or at the bottom of articles. - SimonP 14:07, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Lupin's comment on Sam Vimes' talk page
OK - the rationale behind it is that the content is transcluded onto Lancashire County Cricket Club in 2005, Middlesex County Cricket Club in 2005 and so on. The third-level headings is simply to get correct headings on this page - and the Lancashire v Middlesex 18 September 2005 really shouldn't stand on its own (articles like those were originally placed as a subpage of Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket, then moved to subpages of 2005 English cricket season, and now they stand woefully alone but are probably going to be merged within the next week or so. I realise that it makes the article look rather odd and non-standard, but the alternative is making the "county cricket club..."-pages look even worse, which I don't want since it's the transcluded pages I want people to read. Having said all that, it's probably a system that gives the editors of these articles more headaches and arguments than it's good for, and we're thinking of a new one at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket. Oh, and thanks for those lovely pop-ups :) Sam Vimes 12:16, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

First of all, brilliant work. A cartload of barnstars.
I was thinking... the action links are a bit visually overwhelming, especially when one is just reading the encyclopaedia and is primarily interested in the preview. The simplest thing to do is to give them a separate css class from the preview, so that they can be changed to a lighter colour. Another great thing would be if we could come up with some sensible way to make all the action links fit onto one line (as an option of course). Zocky 06:21, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

I looked at the source and I see that the thing is quite flexible. I played a bit and came up with an idea for the layout of popups that should do what I want without being cryptic (ignore the choice of colors, of course):
That would be the basic popup for a non-admin user hovering over a link to an article. Additional links for other cases could be put after related changes, so that the top bar always stays the same. How does it look? Zocky 01:10, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi! I am trying your Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups with .js and .css files as given in the article.
When I hover over a link, the popup occurs correctly, but I then gat a constant "Error on page" message in my status bar at bottom left. It stays there until I hover over a new link, then the popup comes up OK, then the error message again. I'm on IE6 SP2 Windows XP Prof. Thanks! -- Sitearm | Talk 00:39, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
I get the same error on IE, whenever any popup appears I get the "Error on page" message in the status bar. Double-clicking on that message produces the following details:
Line: 1 Char: 51 Error: Expected ';' Code: 0 URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Lupin
I got the same error and the same details on two different machines, both running IE6 SP2. You probably find this as unhelpful as I do (particularly as I couldn't find any line with 51 characters in any place that seemed relevant), but here it is for what it's worth. -- Russ Blau (talk) 14:34, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
I get the same error (Error: Expected ';') when hovering over links in IE6 on WinXP/SP2. The popup appears but with no popup menus when hovering over the popup title. The popup menus should appear because I'm not specifying any values for simplePopups and popupStructure. If I set popupStructure=menu, I still get no popup menus. If I set popupStructure=original, all the navigation links appear correctly, but I still get the above javascript error. I hope this gives you a little more info on this problem. Thanks -- Bruce1ee 14:45, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
I get this error too, both on XP and on Win2k machines, using IE6.0. Owen× ☎ 11:01, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
OK, next thing I notice are strange little pictures in some of the popups. For example, on User:Lupin a bluebell (flower) shows in the popup. On Wikipedia:Help desk, a green chameleon (lizard) shows up in the popup. They are about 60x80px in size and do not appear on the actual page when opened. Is this deliberate from your program, or something from the pages? It occurs on some but not all pages.
P.S. On article pages that do have pictures, such as Wikipedia:Image sleuthing, the icon (correctly) matches the first picture in the article. -- Sitearm | Talk 03:01, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
I've noticed a thing about the popups that has great potential to help improve Wikipedia's content, once they come into widespread use. The fact that the popup shows a part of the linked page, opens up the question of what we put in that part, thus forcing some standardization of articles. In what form will they standardize depends directly on how the popup content is chosen, so it should be given some thought.
Here are some of my ideas about how it should work (in an ideal world where everything programs itself :P). Some of these would probably work best if mediawiki helped serve them.
I haven't looked at the javascript much apart from the layout bits. Would getting different bits of info for different links like this require major changes in the implementation? Zocky 11:54, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
Lupin supporting Lord Voldemort? Never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for your kind words concerning my RfA.

Thanks my friend. -- Lord Vold e mort (Dark Mark) 13:36, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
I've edit-protected your excellent popups.js page, as a significant number of users seem to be using it. Rationale: If vandals were to edit the .js page, this would open users running it to a variety of potential abuses. I think you're a sysop, so you shouldn't have any problem continuing to edit it. However, if you're not, just send me a message, and I'll try to work something out. -- Karada 17:11, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
I just installed your script and it looks great. I am very impressed. As a Turkish Wikipedian I tried in Turkish Wikipedia and works ok. But. The name of the user space is not "User:" in tr Wikipedia and your script searches for string "User:" to understand what the type of page is. As a result in tr wikipedia your script thinks all pages are 0 namespace ie. article and doesnt show special attributes if you hover on a user link. So is it possible to define namespace variables in users monobook.js first and pass this variables to yoor main script. So your main script will only use this variable names instead hard wired "User:" string or any other this kind. So each wikipedian from other wikis can edit his namespace names in monobook.js and it will work. Of course it should support Unicode. Thanks again for this great script. -- Dbl2010 01:06, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

I sort of picked the color at random - wanted it to pop out, tho. :-D -- BD2412 talk 15:49, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
I have only accidently stumbled upon the popups a few days ago, and it shall be a day I bless for the rest of my wiki life. but i seem to be having a few problems.
Okay, before I start, I have literally no idea of what I am talking about, so please excuse any incorrect names ect. Also, sorry if my complete noobishness makes your head explode with confusion (that tends to happen a lot to me)
I followed the instructions on setting it up and the popups were perfect for a while, but soon i lost the edit,hist,count ect options from the popups. I ignored it thinking that something may just be being fiddled with, but at least a day later and it has not rectified itself. Also, the colour scheme has gone all-to-whack and reverted itself back to orange. I have checked my history pages and nothing has been tampered with. Could you help? thanks Tekana (O.o) Talk 18:55, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

My dear Lupin, I simply wanted to drop by now that my RfA is closed to give you a big THANK YOU! for your kind support. Your trust in me and your consideration against editcountitis, when the matter of my relatively few edits was being put against me by a few people, gave me strength and cheered me up a lot. You'll always have a friend in me. Hugs! Shauri Yes babe? 20:52, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
Hiya Lupin, I haven't congratulated you on your excellent popup script, so I'll do that now (it's fantastic), and report a bug at the same time - I don't think it recognises interwiki links to the Scots Wikipedia (sco: links) as being interwiki links. Cheers, Talrias ( t | e | c) 08:06, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
I was wondering if I could get a customised script as follows:

If you could make it I would be thrilled. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 14:50, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
Lupin, I noticed that you changed your popup tool recently. Unless I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be a "block" link anymore for users. Am I missing something, or was that left out? Many thanks. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | W S 21:30, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi. You added the {{ unsourced}} template to Cooper's Creek. I've checked the Geoscience Australia website, changed the name of the article to Cooper Creek and added the coordinates which links to a page with links to many maps. Does this meet yor "sourcing" requirement? The "official" coordinates are where it flows into Lake Eyre. Zoom Multimap out to 1:4000000 to see the cartographic label. Cheers. -- Scott Davis Talk 13:38, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
I agree that phrase sounds POV (I didn't write it). It's probably true - most people have heard of it, but I don't know whether I know anybody who's seen it - especially not in flood. I'll see if I can find a reference about flows. The Burke and Wills bit it is described in that article. -- Scott Davis Talk 13:05, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
I don't know if you were going through systematically and looking to fix change any sports-related links to league to link to league system, but I noticed the one at official scorer. Unfortunately the league system article is totally inadequate, so I created a sports league page, since a sports league is different from a league system. So if you're going to make any more changes to links to league that should be disambiguated, feel free to link them to sports league instead. Kevin M Marshall 22:06, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi Lupin. Thanks for the popup script. I've enhanced the September 25 version to optionally include the last modified date with the text preview. This is done by retrieving the Last-Modified HTTP response header with Downloader.http.getResponseHeader and storing it with the cached page entries. In raw download mode, this header is set by the MediaWiki software to the last modification date of the article content.
Please have a look at this diff. If you want, I will try to integrate these changes with the October 3 version of the popups.js script. Mike Dillon 04:50, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
Hey, the script is finally working in Opera. :) I wonder why it took so long to kick in? Thanks for the effort and time invested. =Nichalp «Talk»= 07:45, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Is it possible, using javascript, to create Source Provenance and Temporal Provenance, as detailed in the sections under Wikipedia:Provenance#Proposals_for_provenance? If so, might you consider undertaking this task? It would probably be the next big thing (besides navigational popups, of course). — BRIAN 0918 • 2005-10-7 02:17
I'm sorry to bother you, but you're the only javascript guru I know. This is a simple request, as I don't know much javascript, I took the "auto afd" script that helps to automate the process of sending an entry to AFD and then modified so it would help to automate the afd closing. So I started with the del version. I think (I think) I got it right, but I can't get the link with the tab at top to show up, could you give a quick look at User:Drini/monobook.js and tell me what went wrong? I didn't delete anthing, just added, but now not even the tab at top for "Afd" is showing up anymore. Maybe the problem is with the even listeners, but I really don't know what's going on. -- ( ☺drini♫| ☎) 05:09, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
Using emacs, c-mode and M-x indent-region, I found an error in your code: the braces don't match. I think the problem is that this is invalid:
if (stuff) { otherStuff(); moreStuff(); } else somethingHere(); }
and should be one of these instead:
if (stuff) { otherStuff(); moreStuff(); } else somethingHere();
or
if (stuff) { otherStuff(); moreStuff(); } else { somethingHere(); }
My suggestion what you probably want for that function is
function autocloseafd() { if (document.title.indexOf('Editing ') == 0) { var action = ''; var target = ''; if (location.search) { var l = location.search.substring(1).split('&'); for (var i = 0; i < l.length; ++i) { var eq = l[i].indexOf('='); var name = l[i].substring(0, eq); if (name == 'fakeaction') action = l[i].substring(eq + 1); else if (name == 'faketarget') target = unescape(l[i].substring(eq + 1)).replace(/_/g, ' '); } } if (action == 'closeafddel') { document.editform.wpTextbox1.value = 'deleted per [[' + 'Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/' + target + ']]'; document.editform.wpSummary.value = 'deleted per [[' + 'Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/' + target + ']]'; } else document.editform.wpTextbox1.value += '===[[' + target + ']]===\n' + 'Reason for nomination. ~~' + '~~\n*\n*\n*\n'; } else add_link('javascript:closeafd()', 'c/afd'); }
Lupin, I'm finding your popups a great help with admin tasks - using them all the time. Just one comment, the one think I find difficult is knowning when an editor has already been blocked. Would it be possible to have a quick link to the blocklog for a user? Thanks. -- Doc (?) 11:27, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
When I use your popups "edit" button on William "Grumble" Jones in the "What link here" for American, it opens up William, and not even in the edit window. -- Commander Keane 09:18, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
I just changed my settings to return the missing editing menus I had in my popups following the changes to the script and fixed a mistake in my own style sheet so the admin links show too. However, I've noticed the admin links appear under the page title and the others appear above it. I'd like both menus to be below the page title. Can you change it or make it an option? Please answer on my talk. - Mgm| (talk) 20:07, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi Lupin. Spotted the link to your fantastic tool this morning on my watchlist where someone had used it for a dab fix. It's great - thanks for all your work with this! Just one suggestion (couldn't see any other ref to this particular suggestion on your talk page - apologies if I'm duplicating a request...). If you use it to auto dab, the edit summary includes a link to the tool (which, as I mentioned, is how I found out about it). However, if you use it to auto-fix a redirect, the edit summary doesn't automatically include a link. Could a link be added? Unfortunately I wouldn't have the first clue how to go about implementing something like this... Regards, CLW 07:54, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
I'm using Safari on OSX and the navigation popup is crashing Safari quite regularly, so I would like to turn them off. I've deleted my User:Lethe/cologneblue.js, but I'm still getting the popups.

Hi Lupin, just dropping you a quick note to say a HUGE THANKS for your fantastic js work with this tool. How did I ever manage without it? It is absolutely brilliant and cuts out several page clicks of navigation for some tasks.
I have one question though, are there any other undocumented parameters that can affect the interface and mode of operation such as:
Thanks in advance. -- Cactus.man ✍ 10:13, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
I haven't checked, but does your popup have a search feature that will search for the link text? This would really speed up work for the Wikipedia:Missing articles folks. — BRIAN 0918 • 2005-10-18 04:32
Hi again. I must say that after initial doubts I have warmed up to the idea of a menu for actions. However, the way it's implemented now, it makes it hard to get to the links in the preview, because the menu drops once you move the mouse over the title. The easiest way to remedy this would be to add a link named "actions" and display it just like the "user" link is now displayed for user subpages. That way the menu would drop only when the user wanted it to drop.
An alternative strategy might be to align the dropped menu to the right, so that it disapears if the user only passes over the title with the mouse (as this will usually happen near the left border of the preview). Zocky 16:35, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I just installed the pop-up navigation tool and it reads 0 categories for every page I have tried previewing. I'm running Mozilla 1.0.7 and Windows 2000. The problem also happens when I run IE. Just to let you know about the bug.-- Bkwillwm 16:32, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
Lupin -- the popups are a great tool! Thanks for doing this. One minor suggestion, for fixing double-redirects. Suppose "[[Foo]]" is a redirect to "[[Bar]]" and "[[Bar]]" is a redirect to "[[Baz]]". If I am on the [[Foo]] page and use the pop-up to fix the redirect, it wants to change #REDIRECT [[Bar]] to #REDIRECT [[Baz|Bar]]. The |Bar part isn't necessary in this context and might be confusing to anyone else who is tracing redirects. -- Russ Blau (talk) 13:36, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I hope you can answer my questions.
Cordially yours, Shinobu 00:11, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
a nice one then please let me know and I'll make the default for IE.
Thanks for the link to The Manual. I see it has lots more interesting options. As for the dot problem, the following works for me, both in IE and in Firefox:
popupNavLinkSeparator = ' · ';
Cordially yours, Shinobu 04:47, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
There seems to be a little flaw in the code. You see, I got the ActiveX working by assigning wikipedia.org to it's own security zone and activated safe for scripting ActiveX. That works, apart from the fact that the code breaks on the following line:
this.send = this.http.send;
Maybe because for ActiveX objects member functions are native, not JS, this line generates a "property does not exist"-error. Perhaps it is best to use a proxy in this case:
function httpProxySend(name) { return this.http.send(name); }
Assuming send returns anything that is. And use
this.send = httpProxySend;
in the case of an ActiveX. Maybe I'll toy around with it a bit and send you the solution if I get it working (if you want, that is). What do you use, a local copy on your own p.c., or have you got a scratch version somewhere else?
Cordially yours, Shinobu 06:34, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Okay, I'll check if it works; if it doesn't I'll try to toy around with a debugger. Actually being able to see on what line the script staggers and being able to look at variables, change them and continue, makes for easier problem fixing than having an other user execute it and asking "Does it work?". Shinobu 21:46, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
It works like magic. It doens't seem to have broken in Firefox either, always a good sign. I can only think of one minor improvement (very low priority though): a message of some kind in the case neither ActiveX nor standard HttpRequests can be created.
I would like to say again that it's an amazing script, and thanks for taking the trouble to make it work for me! Cordially yours, Shinobu 22:08, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
I think there should be extra brackets in the following bit of code (I've coloured them red):
String.prototype.parenSplit=function (re) { var m=re.exec(this); if (!m) return this; return [this.substring(0,m.index)] .concat(m.slice(1)) .concat(this.substring(m.index+m[0].length).parenSplit(re)); };
If I understand this correctly this function should emulate split (only not broken).
So if re is not matched, an array with a single element should be returned, not a string. Otherwise code that depends on the result being an array fails, crashing the script to the debugger.
As for the second part, given string "abcdefghi", re /def/ this would yield:
Note that ordinary split on IE or Firefox would return ["abc", "ghi"]. But I assume returning "def" also is intentional, so that's okay - only the red brackets should be added.
Cordially yours, Shinobu 03:06, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
for(var i=0; i<m.length; ++i) { if (typeof m[i]=='undefined') m[i]=''; }
This code might not be needed, since you're only using m[0] and m[0] is always a string: the re match.
Cordially yours, Shinobu 02:33, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
Yes, that makes a lot of sense. I should have thought of that.
// without this, we have // 'ab'.parenSplit(/a|(b)/) != 'ab'.split(/a|(b)/)
I've tested this, and it returns ["", "", "", "b", ""].
I've tested normal split with Firefox in JS1.2 mode, and it returns ["", "", "", "b"].
Either Firefox's JS1.2 is broken (while still returning the correct anser to your "abc".split(/(b)/) test) or you're not 100% there (although I wouldn't bother too much about that if it doesn't impact the rest of the script).
I have had the new script running for a while now, and it doesn't seem to crash any more. By the way, I'm working on a (small) watchlist tool. It's primary function is to show only the new edits since the tool was last run. Should I post it somewhere, or is this a) not useful to anyone but me or b) done before?
Cordially yours, Shinobu 04:05, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
@correct result: I agree.
One source of the confusion is a difference between what Firefox claims to do in the docs, and what it does in reality.
Modern version uses 1.5 by default, I think, and your script doesn't specify a version, so it'll be allright. Shinobu 16:44, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi,
I think the popup tool is a great idea. However, I found it to be a distraction, partially because I'm already used to doing most tasks very rapidly. Thanmks for the suggestion though :) -- Pak aran 18:55, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure why you want to fix the width of the popup on exactly 300 px, since they work without it, but if you want to do this, keep in mind that expressions cannot be set this way.
(documentation follows)
Sets an expression for the specified object.
object.setExpression(sPropertyName, sExpression [, sLanguage])
sPropertyName | Required. String that specifies the name of the property to which sExpression is added. | ||||||
sExpression | Required. String that specifies any valid script (JScript, JavaScript, VBScript) statement without quotations or semicolons. This string can include references to other properties on the current page. Array references are not allowed on object properties included in this script. | ||||||
sLanguage | Optional. String that specifies one of the following values:
|
No return value.
(my own comments follow)
I recommend not using the sLanguage parameter. Browsers seem to consider JScript a synonym for JavaScript anyway. I would further recommend a way to switch width fixing off, in case it's not wanted.
Cordially yours, Shinobu 19:00, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Your popup Javascript seems to work fine. The only strange thing I have noticed is that it insists on previewing the first image it finds on a page, regardless of where that image appears. This causes the previews for the Wikipedia:Two-million pool and Wikipedia:Five-million pool to include a picture of the Canadian flag. This puzzled me for a moment, but then I noticed that some user who has voted in the pools has the flag in his signature, but at a much smaller scale. — JIP | Talk 12:32, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Frustratingly, it still doesn't work at all using my iMac, despite both machines runnign the same version of Mac OS X and Safari. Any ideas on that one?!

Hi Lupin,
I don't normally edit other people's User pages, but in your watchlist you have a list of 318 categories, which made this page a member of each one of them...I'm sure that's not what you meant to do! If you want to have a link to a category without the page becoming a member of that category, you can use:
instead of:
(as you probably already know...) I took the liberty of applying this change to your list. I hope that's OK with you.

Hey Lupin, I love your pop-ups so much, they have literally changed the way I use Wikipedia. Not only that, I'm starting to get annoyed when I can't get such useful information out of ANY link I hover over, out there on the Interweb. :)
Anyway, I wanted to draw your attention to a question I posted at MediaWiki talk:Licenses, which is the source page for the new Licensing Selector on the Special:Upload page. Is it possible to create a javascript plug-in to easily insert image copyright tags, selected from a prepared list, into an image description page?

Thanks for the congrats, and up to now, the popups look great... Lectonar 07:11, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
As many have said before, your popups are great. However, I turned on the simplePopups option, because I feared the popups would put too much strain on the server. Do you have an idea how much the popups cost? I assume that every popup generates a request to the wikipedia servers, under my own user name. If this is true, then I'd prefer to use the simple popups: most of the time when a popup is generated, I do not actually want it, but my mouse pointer just happen to hover above a link. However, it might be nice to include an extra link in the simple popup, which can be used to expand it to the complete popup (containing the first paragraph of the target etc.). I hope I'm making sense; otherwise, ask me and I'll clarify. Cheers, and thanks for your work! -- Jitse Niesen ( talk) 11:59, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
Thanks. I tried it out, but unfortunately, it is not quite what I was thinking of. I just want a one-time toggle: if I hoover the mouse above a link, I want to get the simplePopup with links to edit, history, etc., and an extra link, which when I can click on it (or perhaps just touch it), expands the popup with a preview of the first paragraph. When I then move to a different link, I should get the simplePopup again.
I should also clarify my question about whether the scripts uses one's own account to get the wikitext. As I understand it (and my understanding is very incomplete), the bottleneck when the servers are under strain is the database. Every HTML request sent by a user results in at least one database query, but requests sent by an IP address without account can be served from a cache without any database query. So, I think the script would load the servers a bit less if the requests were made anonymously (the distinction between logged-in and anonymous is made based on cookies). I don't know whether action=raw changes this.
PS: You are making me very curious about how you discovered so fast that I was trying it out. Does that have to do with the mysterious comment that is perhaps not quite a comment? -- Jitse Niesen ( talk) 00:30, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
By the way, the editOld link when hoovering over diff links is extremely useful; thanks. -- Jitse Niesen ( talk) 01:15, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
I assume that you mean popupUnsimplifyLink=true. Now, I get a "Get preview data" button but nothing happens when I click it. Perhaps it's just that the server is too slow. I'll try again tomorrow when it should be better. Thanks anyway. -- Jitse Niesen ( talk) 17:13, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Okay, turns out I also have to set simplePopups to false. Now it works, great! Yes, this is what I was thinking of, though the delay is unfortunate. I'll try it out and let you know how useful it is. -- Jitse Niesen ( talk) 17:30, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

On RC patrol I often see meagre little articles on English villages which aren't deletable, but in themselves just look sad and unloved.

Just a note about the use of this template. It is generally intended for articles that are specifically problematic, not just any that are missing references. Adding it to every unreferenced article has been rejected in numerous discussions. Also it is not meant to go at the top of articles. If yu look at the talk page of the template, it is universally agreed that it belongs either on the talk page or at the bottom of articles. - SimonP 14:07, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

The sources for the information contained in the Luard article will essentially be verifiable from the articles that the Luard article will link to, most notably the Oxford West and Abingdon and Oxford (UK Parliament constituency) pages.

Hi, I have a couple of suggestions for the type of map demonstrated on the Dorchester article. Firstly, a small red dot on a green background is difficult for those with red/green colour blindness to find, white or yellow would probably stand out better. Second, have you considered whether to show the towns on maps the scale of the districts maps, e.g. Image:DorsetWest.png? I'm wondering if that might show the location with more accuracy (and fit in the table better). The second point is mere speculation however. Joe D (t) 01:47, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I just noticed the same problem at Image:Chesterfield - Derbyshire dot.png. The PNG file has an offset of some sort. You can see what I'm talking about by opening the file in the Gimp. I bet you used ImageMagick to crop the map? I've seen that cause this problem.
By the way, isn't it possible to position these dots with CSS? I'm pretty sure I've seen locator maps around that do it that way, with a map image and a dot image positioned on top. Would be much easier to maintain ... dbenbenn | talk 6 July 2005 03:44 (UTC)

Although I agree with your philosophy, I do not agree with how you went about changing the template.

Your current implemntation was quite a horror.
But this requires all of the articles that were using it to be refactored. Here's what you can help (I've already done a lot, but it takes a long time and I need to go to bed now):

The discussion at Talk:Lancaster (disambiguation) concerned moving the article to Lancaster, England, so that's the change I've recommended at Wikipedia:Requested moves.

Please understand - I am totally in favour of your dotty maps - every GB place article should have one. But - the proper way to produce these maps is by means of a program/script/engine that generates them dynamically, taking as input the co-ordinates and the map size. When one of your maps is displayed as a thumbnail the image is created dynamically by reducing the file you have uploaded. Only a small amount of extra effort (both in programming and in processing) would be required to add the dot to a blank map during this reduction process. This idea has already been suggested for Wikipedia - see this proposal.
But if you are going to use separate uploaded images, I have some suggestions:
Both the names and the lack of any index put off people who might be willing to collaborate and use an existing image file in an article. I would suggest a generic naming standard of GBdot_XX99 where XX99 is the grid reference of the 10 km square on which the dot is centred.
Under your naming method we would need separate maps for Coningsby and Tattershall. But if you call the map GBdot_TF25, it is obvious that one map will do for both those places and also for New York and a few other villages when Lincspoacher writes them up. Indeed, no one would notice if you used the same map for Boston, Martin, Timberland, Woodhall Spa, etc.
I like to add co-ordinates to any GB article that lacks them. I would be happy to add dotty maps as well - if they had sensible names. As a start, look at Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:GBdot-gr. One image file - a mere 12 kbytes in size is used in seven articles already - with several more needing to be written. -- RHaworth 17:54, 2005 May 8 (UTC)
If you don't like grid refs, use names based on steps of 5 mins of latitude and 10 mins of longitude.
I note that you have created category:GBdot but I still feel that it is a bit difficult for people to help you in adding maps to articles.
I hope your are watching

RHaworth 14:10, 2005 May 9 (UTC)The maths, although tedious, is only algebra and trigonometry. Work your way through this lot:

I'm only confused since when I added a map to a few UK articles, the image just seemed to be there, and it all worked with me just adding the template.... UkPaolo 07:43, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list?

I see you have created an image of the character "성" for Korean name, which is currently featured on the main page. As I've explained in the article discussion, this choice is confusing and not entirely suitable for the page. I've suggested that maybe using the word "이름"—"name"—as the image for the article might be more appropriate. Since the image is currently protected, I'm wondering if you can make the necessary changes. Thanks. -- Iceager 00:28, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
May I request that you replace your standard edit summary rant: "External link - no,no, no. external linkS. even if there's only one link. with the S. don't forget. very important. repeat after me: external linkS. external linkS. external linkS. external linkS" with a link to an item on one of your user pages that explains why you think it is so frightfully important always to have links? -- 80.189.34.111 01:20, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Olive baboon.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Until a more informative tag is provided, it will be listed as {{ no source}} or {{ no license}}. Could you add a better tag to let us know its source and/or copyright status? If you made the image yourself, an easy way to deal with this is add {{ GFDL}} if you're willing to release it under the GFDL. Alternatively, you could release all rights to it by adding {{ NoRightsReserved}}. This would allow anyone to do whatever they wish with your image, without exceptions. However, if it isn't your own image, you need to specify what free license it was distributed under. You can find a list of the tags here. If it was not distributed under a free license, but you claim fair use, add {{ fairuse}} but you need to substantiate your claim by explaining why you think it's fair use. If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images by posting to my talk page. If you do this, I can tag them for you. Thanks. RedWolf 05:20, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

Hi. What do you think of this version of Corpus's crest? Mlm42 21:24, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
Since you run the bot LupinBot, I am hoping you could help me.
I have a local version of mediawiki which I use to document. I also have a cacti running on a different machine which basically generates png images based on snmp data. I am interested in archiving the images generated to my local copy of mediawiki. Since I am into php, I can easily collect the png files to a location I desire in a regular basis. I need to automate the uploading of these files to my local copy of mediawiki. Framework for wikipediabot is written in python and I am no experience in it. Can you help me with this if possible, or suggest me an alternative? Thanks -- Oblivious 06:06, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Looks fine to me, but then again I'm the last person to ask when it comes to image layout. What you could do is replicate this popup in the Sandbox and fiddle with the wiki image attributes until it looks right, and then copy the HTML it generates. Simple!
Only problem is the images are downloading from the fullsize version, but the thumbnails aren't stored until they're rendered inline, so that's not an option. Unless you can pre-empt insertion on the Sandbox and then draw the thumbnail from there, but that would be too laggy... hmmm... it would still work though... anyway, that's still a great little feature despite the delay. :) Garrett Talk 22:19, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi, If you can spare the time I would appreciate your help. I would like to create graphs like the complete graph on five verticies you made for Ramsey's theorem. You wrote that you created this graph using Inkscape, I’m having a lot of trouble working out how to draw graphs like you have done using this program. Could you give me any tips or perhaps direct me to any good pages on the net I might be able to use. I have noticed some other people have used gimp to make similar graphs have you used gimp to do this? Would you recommend it? I also have access to illustrator, would this be a good program to use?
Any help much appreciated

Hey, I like your popup javascript a lot. Could you please make it work with Wiktionary also? -- Phroziac ( talk) 23:07, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
Great work on the script! One thing I noticed is that popups will stick on if I hover my mouse over a link and then move it away from the popup. Can this be remedied? Also, would it be possible for the popup to include the first sentence or two (or paragraph) of text from an article (only if the article is in the article namespace)? I forget what Wikipedia-duplicate site does this, but I found it useful; it would greatly aid a general reader in reading an article. --

Markaci has this javascript code in his monobook that replaces the usual "--~~~~" that you get when you click the signature button with custom text. Is it possible for this generated text to include your edit count, so that each time you post, it lists your number of edits at the time of your post. Considering what you've already done with this popup, it seems like it should be possible, but I just don't know the syntax. Here's his code to make the signature:
// Signature fix. function sigFix () { document.getElementById("toolbar").innerHTML=document.getElementById("toolbar").innerHTML.replace('--~~' + '~~','CUSTOM_SIGNATURE_HERE'); } function reformatMyPage() { sigFix(); } if (window.addEventListener) window.addEventListener("load",reformatMyPage,false); else if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload",reformatMyPage);
Maybe that could even be implemented into your popup, so the number of edits are automatically listed for a user (would be turned off if simplePopups is on) -- BRIAN 0918 14:40, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
Can you help me format my custom sig correctly. I'm trying to stick in different font colors, but again there's a syntax problem:
function sigFix () { document.getElementById("toolbar").innerHTML=document.getElementById("toolbar").innerHTML.replace('--~~' + '~~','<small>[[User:Brian0918|\\\'\\\'\\\'BRIAN\\\'\\\'\\\']][[User_talk:Brian0918|0918]] {{subst' + ':CURRENTYEAR}}-{{subst' + ':CURRENTMONTHABBREV}}-{{subst' + ':CURRENTDAY}} {{subst' + ':CURRENTTIME}}</small>'); }
This works properly, but I want to add <font color="#000000"> </font> around the text for the user page link, and <font color="#555555"> </font> around the user talk page link. Note: the font code has to be inside the wikilink, not outside it. -- BRIAN 0918 16:21, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Another possibility: If the link is to a category, the popup includes the number of articles in the category and the number of subcategories. ☞ BRIAN 0918 • 2005-08-7 17:41
How about: allow a user to set something like "adminPowers = true", which will give options such as: hovering over a username allows you to click the "block" link in the popup, or hovering over an article/image name allows you to click the "protect" or "delete" links. — BRIAN 0918 • 2005-08-7 20:21

Would it be possible to split up all the different options (navigation links, text preview, image preview, summary data at the bottom), so that a user who has simplePopups off can choose to separately turn on/off any of these things? This would allow general readers to focus on reading (ie, no nav links, no image, no data summary), and anyone can customize however they want. — BRIAN 0918 • 2005-08-9 04:02

Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 16:15, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

However, I have two minor questions.
I hope you can answer my questions.
Cordially yours, Shinobu 00:11, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
a nice one then please let me know and I'll make the default for IE.
Thanks for the link to The Manual. I see it has lots more interesting options. As for the dot problem, the following works for me, both in IE and in Firefox:
popupNavLinkSeparator = ' · ';
Cordially yours, Shinobu 04:47, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
There seems to be a little flaw in the code. You see, I got the ActiveX working by assigning wikipedia.org to it's own security zone and activated safe for scripting ActiveX. That works, apart from the fact that the code breaks on the following line:
this.send = this.http.send;
Maybe because for ActiveX objects member functions are native, not JS, this line generates a "property does not exist"-error. Perhaps it is best to use a proxy in this case:
function httpProxySend(name) { return this.http.send(name); }
Assuming send returns anything that is. And use
this.send = httpProxySend;
in the case of an ActiveX. Maybe I'll toy around with it a bit and send you the solution if I get it working (if you want, that is). What do you use, a local copy on your own p.c., or have you got a scratch version somewhere else?
Cordially yours, Shinobu 06:34, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Okay, I'll check if it works; if it doesn't I'll try to toy around with a debugger. Actually being able to see on what line the script staggers and being able to look at variables, change them and continue, makes for easier problem fixing than having an other user execute it and asking "Does it work?". Shinobu 21:46, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
It works like magic. It doens't seem to have broken in Firefox either, always a good sign. I can only think of one minor improvement (very low priority though): a message of some kind in the case neither ActiveX nor standard HttpRequests can be created.
I would like to say again that it's an amazing script, and thanks for taking the trouble to make it work for me! Cordially yours, Shinobu 22:08, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
I think there should be extra brackets in the following bit of code (I've coloured them red):
String.prototype.parenSplit=function (re) { var m=re.exec(this); if (!m) return this; return [this.substring(0,m.index)] .concat(m.slice(1)) .concat(this.substring(m.index+m[0].length).parenSplit(re)); };
If I understand this correctly this function should emulate split (only not broken).
So if re is not matched, an array with a single element should be returned, not a string. Otherwise code that depends on the result being an array fails, crashing the script to the debugger.
As for the second part, given string "abcdefghi", re /def/ this would yield:
Note that ordinary split on IE or Firefox would return ["abc", "ghi"]. But I assume returning "def" also is intentional, so that's okay - only the red brackets should be added.
Cordially yours, Shinobu 03:06, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
for(var i=0; i<m.length; ++i) { if (typeof m[i]=='undefined') m[i]=''; }
This code might not be needed, since you're only using m[0] and m[0] is always a string: the re match.
Cordially yours, Shinobu 02:33, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
Yes, that makes a lot of sense. I should have thought of that.
// without this, we have // 'ab'.parenSplit(/a|(b)/) != 'ab'.split(/a|(b)/)
I've tested this, and it returns ["", "", "", "b", ""].
I've tested normal split with Firefox in JS1.2 mode, and it returns ["", "", "", "b"].
Either Firefox's JS1.2 is broken (while still returning the correct anser to your "abc".split(/(b)/) test) or you're not 100% there (although I wouldn't bother too much about that if it doesn't impact the rest of the script).
I have had the new script running for a while now, and it doesn't seem to crash any more. By the way, I'm working on a (small) watchlist tool. It's primary function is to show only the new edits since the tool was last run. Should I post it somewhere, or is this a) not useful to anyone but me or b) done before?
Cordially yours, Shinobu 04:05, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
@correct result: I agree.
One source of the confusion is a difference between what Firefox claims to do in the docs, and what it does in reality.
Modern version uses 1.5 by default, I think, and your script doesn't specify a version, so it'll be allright. Shinobu 16:44, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi. For any of your images that have been tagged {{unverified}}, update the image description page to include source URL and information on copyright status. If you received permission in an email from the image owner, state that as well. If that is the case, what kind of permission you received will determine what to use for the image tag. If the owner agreed to the GFDL license, then you can use {{GFDL}}. If they agreed to use it only on Wikipedia, then use {{permission}}. If the owner does not allow commercial use, then use {{Noncommercial}} but note that these images may get deleted in the future. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for more info.

Suppose W is a partial isomtery. Then W W* is a self-adjoint projection e (so that e2=e). Also assume (as you claim) that it is also the case that
Then multiply both sides by W:
The square of a partial isometry is a projection only for very special partial isometries (it fails for instance for the unilateral shift). CSTAR 05:05, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
since then WW*=WW*WW* is a projection, as is W*W=W*WW*W. Lupin 14:21, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
That characterization is indeed correct, but it seems less interesting for an introductory article. More interesting I think are facts about partial isometries and self-adjoint operators and facts about partial isometrie and K theory. These could go in the article. CSTAR 14:58, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I see you've beaten me to it, however (purely aesthetically) I prefer the look of my shields. I put up a page comparing them, and in each case, I prefer the look of mine.
I don't know much about heraldry, however I find the embossed look much more attractive. I appreciate they're not as 'technically accurate', that's why for each one, I uploaded the un-embossed image with it.
I obviously wasn't going to change all the shields over on the college pages without getting your thoughts first though. -- Prisonblues 14:36, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hmmm, I reckon as long as you've clearly linked to the GFDL version in the iamge description, then anyone who is going to be using it for purposes that wouldn't be fair-use, or who isn't in a fair-use jurisdiciton area, can use the GFDL version. I'm not sure though, I'll give it some more thought. In the meantime I might have a go at touching up some of your crests, especially some of your colours -- Prisonblues 17:25, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Lupin, you removed my reference to the BLT-theorem in operator norm, commenting that it is not standard terminology (which is probably correct). Unaware of this, I went on and made a page at BLT-theorem. Can you suggest an alternative name for this article? Any advice is appreciated. -- Jitse Niesen 16:51, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Hi Lupin, I'm sure your edit to Template:NW England was done with the best of intentions, but please note that it is a list of districts, not of towns. Also, general practice is only to mark edits as minor if they do not involve adding or removing text. Thanks, Warofdreams 18:59, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Lupin, don't keep replacing Corel Draw, Illustrator, et al, I've added " List of vector graphics software". -- user:zanimum
Well done on the Jimmy Blades ex-stub! :) Nevilley 13:48, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Hi Lupin, I hope you are not offended by some changes I made at Royal Academy of Music. I felt that the "see alsos" weren't quite right, and that the article was better served with a link to Music school, which can then act as a hub to all appropriate institutions and catch the requirement for lists of them in other articles, but with lower maintenance. Hope this is OK. Also, should the article mention the RAM's view of itself as the best, a view shared with some others? I note that that RCM article also says it's one of the most prestigious ... I dunno, is this a bit of a can of worms?? Nevilley 08:54, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hello. I'm new here. I noticed your change of formatting to remove the subscripts in the "LaTeX" logo. I know in Tex its LaFailed to parse (unknown function "\TeX"): {\displaystyle \TeX} . Is there anyway to include that within the refrence to solve the problem? Sreyan 22:27, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Hey just wondering why you edited out all of the links that I added. I looked though Wikipedia guidelines and did not see anything that I was doing wrong. I felt my additions of external links was right in line with what has been done on pages such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_guitar and also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_lessons. I was just curious as to how my sumbissions were different from the one's mentioned above. I felt that on a page about the violin etc. it was reasonable to add a link to a site that teaches how to play the violin in addition to providing free tablature. Jeremy Casey
Hello. On Wikipedia, TeX looks very good when "displayed", but often looks hideous, sometimes nearly to the point of illegibility, when embedded in lines of text. I've fixed the problem in free probability. I will add that article to the list of probability topics. Michael Hardy 17:49, 25 May 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads-up. I agree with you. I guess everyone is still learning how to make best use of categories. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 12:53, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

OBJECTION!!!
I OBJECT most strongly to placing the classical Jewish texts under the category "Jewish Mythology". "Category:Jewish mythology" and the Subcategories being "Category:Jewish texts" And then God becomes ARBITRARILY part of "mythology"! Perhaps Midrash could go with it, BUT not these others. I vote that the titles be REVERSED and that "Jewish mythology" become a Subtext of Jewish texts. I plan to take this to arbitration! IZAK 12:25, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Dear Lupin: Thanks. I have done some follow-up... IZAK 08:25, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for placing my Ont_Uni template on all the university pages... I just made it this morning and was planning to place it on all the pages now, but found it done!
Thanks again, Radagast 22:56, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)
Thanks loads for fixing the picture of Emmanuel College! :) I have taken some more pictures and listed them on my user page — would you like to fix those too? One of them is too dark, for example. Thanks! — Timwi 06:48, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)

The image Crubs saucer fork.jpg that you uploaded on the 26th March isn't being linked to anything - isolated images aren't much use on Wiki...was this originally planned for an article? If not, perhaps this image could be deleted... Nick04 14:33, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)
