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)

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.
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)

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. As we get further into the project, a lot of the remaining links should not be linked to anything, so could you add an option to remove a link completely.

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)

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)

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?

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.

Translation
popupStrings['Revision %s of %s']='Revisjon %s av %s';
in addition to the all-lowercase string. I think both are necessary, but it hasn't been tested in practice yet. --

Is it possible to use Popups 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 20:23, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

I am using Opera 7.52 on WinXP.
when i use Firefox, they work fine, but on Opera its acting like simplepopups is true even though i explicitly set it to be false.
Also (and this isn't really an issue with you, i guess?) opera's "natural" mouseover popups that show the url of the mouseovered link get the way of your popups.

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 [3].
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:
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.

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) 00:34, 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).

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.

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)

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)

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 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)

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.

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.

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)

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?

Hi. You asked me to provide a reference for my contributions to Astra 1A. Unfortunately my reference was an SES Astra pdf factsheet which has since been removed from their website. However I have added other references which confirm the basic information presented on the page. Regards Mark83 13:28, 26 December 2005 (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;
Drag.originalStart.apply(this, [e]);
return false; }

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). Ben T/ C 13:23, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
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).

G'day Lupin. Quick question for you, does the navigation popups work on meta. I have tried but without success. Could you have a look here. Cheers -- Ianblair23 (talk) 06:01, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
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 [3].
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.

All of his edits to your pages have been reverted. -- user:zanimum
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. Presumably a bot cannot be the copyright holder - therefore I attributed the picture to you in the Commons (see this)- please check that you are happy. 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.
