A script or gadget to automate the addition of article titles (perhaps to a user-defined sub-page) for future monitoring and follow-up action. Effectively, this would be a 'To Do' list. Serving a completely different purpose from a Watch List, it would need to be just as easy to use. As a New Page Patroller and spell-checker, I encounter innumerable articles that need following up in some way. I desire to create a separate list of these pages to work through at some future point - possibly putting forward for deletion, or checking that pages tagged with templates have been actioned. Or I may wish simply to add pages to my 'To Do' list so I can edit them myself later. Because some of these pages rarely get edited again, using a Watch List does not help, and it would weaken the way the Watch List works for monitoring pages of real interest. I have no way of knowing whether such a tool already exists, but having a parallel Watch list for direct editorial action would, I believe, be immensely helpful to many editors. Nick Moyes ( talk) 00:23, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
The rater tool seems to have been abandoned some years ago, but is an amazing and incredibly useful tool that is used by a lot of New Page Patrollers and other editors that frequently rate articles. Suggestions for improvement on the gadget's talk page go unnoticed by its creator and that is a big shame. Although the tool is amazing, an editor actively improving it could do some tremendous good by taking over maintenance of the tool.
These are just some of the improvements that could be made to the tool. Thanks to whoever decides to help here! — Insert CleverPhrase Here 09:09, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
HI! I'm facing significant problems because there are many pages that I don't want to see and can cause family problems. A long discussion is taking place at Teahouse regarding this (see Blocking page view). There, it has been asked me to request a user script here which will enable me to block those pages. I request a script by which I can block articles. that I feel are not safe for me. User:Nazim Hussain Pak Sinner ( talk) 14:32, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
Struway2 has made this Template:Soccerbase season page, however, this will take a lot of time to use the copy and paste and changing the ID and year parameter to every football article with the longer code version to display the references. A script would get things done easier and quicker to do. For example, changing the content from this {{Cite web| title = Games played by Matthew Lowton in 2011/2012| url = http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=53439&season_id=141| publisher = Soccerbase| accessdate = 23 June 2015}} to this {{Soccerbase season|id=53439|season=2011|name=Matthew Lowton|accessdate=23 June 2015}} would take a long time for the same user to do for every page.

I think it'd be great if, when you hover over a hyperlink to another Wikipedia article, a small box pops up giving you the first few lines and maybe the lead picture of that article. It'd sort of look like when you hover over a citation number now. I have no idea how to do this, but I think it'd be awesome if there was just a term or something that someone didn't know, that they could just hover over the link instead of having to open a new tab. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BenJenkins ( talk • contribs)

There isn't currently a great script for stub sorting and stub tagging, the best I have found is User:Ais523/stubtagtab2.js, ideally we would have a hotcat-like searchable field for stub tagging. This would be useful to both New Page Reviewers, as well as to Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting.
Ideally it would work as a hierarchy system somehow, using the hierarchy system at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Stub_types. For example; you would put 'school' into the field, then when you select School stubs, it would populate a scroll-able list suggesting the next level of hierarchy down (e.g. African school stubs, Asian school stubs, etc), then when you select African school stubs, it would populate a scroll-able list suggesting the next level of hierarchy down (e.g. Algerian school stubs, Kenyan school stubs, etc), and so on until you reach the bottom of the hierarchy tree. You should also be able to use the search tree to search for any stub tag, (e.g. jump directly to Kenyan school stubs).
At minimum a hotcat-like search field that you can just search in would be great, but a hierarchy system would be way better at minimising generic stub choices (a hierarchy sytem for Hotcat would also be really awesome, but that is another job entirely.
Please ping me if responding to this post. Cheers! — Insertcleverphrasehere ( or here) 10:39, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
This script is great for adding stub categories, thanks both to @ Insertcleverphrasehere: and @ Danski454:! Any chance the script could make it easy to remove stub templates that are currently on the page?

A script that would rollback automatically a persistent vandal until an admin blocks him. To prevent abuse, maybe the script would work only if the user is reported to AIV. L293D ( ☎ • ✎) 18:35, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
A script that automatically pops up a small box whenever you navigate to an unreviewed main-space page (ideally pinned to the bottom right side of the window and scrolls with the page to stay out of the way of the reviewer, similar to the Page Curation tools), in which it runs a search in Earwig's copyvio detector. This box would be grey at first (while the search is running), but would then display the confidence % result of the copyvio report and change colour to Green/Yellow/Red (depending on the confidence %). Clicking on the box would either A) 'expand' it in a window without navigating away from the page, allowing the reviewer to click on the box to expand the copyvio report, or click it again to minimise it and display only the colour coded confidence% result (ideally), or B) link to the full copyvio report page and open it in a new tab (probably much easier, but it would be better not to have to navigate away form the page).
Option to have it be not automatic would be nice (instead only launching it manually like most other scripts). It should also be able to be launched manually on articles that are already marked as 'reviewed', but this should be by default not automatic. And it should also be configurable for manual or automatic use on AfC drafts (probably default as automatic). — Insertcleverphrasehere ( or here) 22:41, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

There is a huge backlog within most Wikipedia Projects of unclassified articles. I've been recently assessing a number of these for the Politics Project, and have noticed a few patterns that I believe could be automated to heavily reduce this backlog.
And of course, if we can heavily reduce the backlog like this, we will make attempting the remaining tasks that must be classified by hand less daunting, and thus more likely to be done. It is true that the second part of this proposal will sometimes result in incorrect classification, but the criteria will be up for each taskforce to determine and so I don't believe that risk should prevent this bot being created - and even if they are incorrectly assessed, a few incorrect assessments are better than numerous unassessed articles.
If no one is interested in taking this up then I do intend to get around to it at some point - unless someone is able to explain why it is stupid/unnecessary, though I think the first part of this proposal would be better as a modification to the existing tag-update bot.

Hi! I'm an admin from gl.wiki and we need your help to create an script because we don't know how implement that.
We need an script or tool that add a new option to the left menu tools, that option should add a template to the article and automatically it should send a message to the user who created the article. The idea is to add templates to very short articles and notice the users who created it at same time.
I know that at Wikimedia Commons the tool copyvio make a similar work (and other things), add the template to the file and after that it writes a comments at the uploader's page. I searched for a tool or script with similar work here at en.wiki, but I don't found nothing.

It would be helpful to have a tool that automatically searches an article for various words to watch, as defined in Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Such a tool would be very helpful in checking if an article complies with the style guidelines. This check would be useful in Good Article and Featured Article reviews.
My thinking is that the tool would be used while editing an article, allowing the editor to tab through the potential violations to review and correct them if needed. Also, the search list used in such a tool should be flexible so it can be expanded and improved over time by users. Qono ( talk) 17:08, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Gadget-markblocked.js strikes through the names of locally blocked users, but does nothing if the user is globally locked but not locally blocked.
The code exists - MediaWiki:Gadget-popups.js detects both and hovering over a name like User:Chyah will show BLOCKED, LOCKED.

Edit warring is one of the most disruptive issue that can happen, and articles under active EW should be approached with caution (and could use also external opinions). I would like to propose the idea of making an "edit warring indicator" that would be a simple green/yellow/orange/red light placed at the top of articles as the XTools gadget does. The indicator would simply check the number of reverts in the last 24h. I know reverts are hard to detect, but there can be a few tricks to detect them most of the time: keywords in the diff comments (undid, revert, etc.); edits of the same KB count but with opposite signs. It could also account for the number of different editors involved. -- Signimu ( talk) 20:33, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Would it be possible to write a userscript which would allow addition of inline cleanup tags without having to open the full editor? I find myself reading articles on topics I'm curious about and spotting issues such as weasel words or uncited claims, and I want to add the cleanup tags, but this involves opening the editor and finding the same spot again, which infringes on my reading experience. I know, the standard response here is don't tag but be bold, and I try to do that whenever possible, but to be frank often this happens on topic I don't know much about or have very little interest in improving. I still think that in such situations providing some feedback to parties interested in improving the article may be of some use.
This request is really inspired by my experience of using User:Galobtter/Shortdesc helper. Since I've started using it, upon encountering pages without descriptions, I often find myself reading an article until I have some basic understanding of the topic and writing a description before navigating away, which is something I did significantly less before I discovered the aforementioned tool that makes it super easy.

Already loaded pages must be reloaded for this JS to work once you've added it to your common.js; AFAICT it doesn't work if the image is inside an infobox. — Tonymec ( talk) 16:22, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Students make similar errors when editing and each new batch repeats similar errors made by the last batch. I am wanting a user script that analysis the students edits and provides them feedback. For example:
I am involved with supporting a number of classes, including one of medical students at UCSF. I am wanting to trial this sort of script on them to see if they find it useful and it decreases the work load for other volunteers.

There is the page Wikipedia:Tools/Greasemonkey_user_scripts which shows publicly usable Greasemonkey scripts to give the users a better experience. Sadly there is no list for requested scripts. So I guess, this one here has to be the right one for this purpose, too.
I think, I have a request to make Wikipedia usable / readable for normal people (without an account) again. Please, provide us (or at least the technically versed parts of us) with some means to disable these annoying "features" of the Wikipedia once and for all. I don't think that I have to name reasons here - there are multiple comments on the appropriate discussion pages which seem to be ignored altogether.
So please, give at least the Greasemonkey users the possibility to turn off Media viewer and Page preview. It's really no help at all to have to choose to disable them about a hundred times a day (for every browser instance [in case of the Page preview also for every already opened browser tab!], for every language version, multiple times a day again and again and again)!
Otherwise Wikipedia seems not to be usable in an effective manner anymore. Even on big screens it's hard to find a spot to "park" your mouse cursor at to be able to scroll the site without having previews popping up every now and then. - Which totally disturbs the normal workflow! -- 141.76.83.180 ( talk) 16:04, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

A script or gadget to automate the addition of article titles (perhaps to a user-defined sub-page) for future monitoring and follow-up action. Effectively, this would be a 'To Do' list. Serving a completely different purpose from a Watch List, it would need to be just as easy to use. As a New Page Patroller and spell-checker, I encounter innumerable articles that need following up in some way. I desire to create a separate list of these pages to work through at some future point - possibly putting forward for deletion, or checking that pages tagged with templates have been actioned. Or I may wish simply to add pages to my 'To Do' list so I can edit them myself later. Because some of these pages rarely get edited again, using a Watch List does not help, and it would weaken the way the Watch List works for monitoring pages of real interest. I have no way of knowing whether such a tool already exists, but having a parallel Watch list for direct editorial action would, I believe, be immensely helpful to many editors. Nick Moyes ( talk) 00:23, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
The rater tool seems to have been abandoned some years ago, but is an amazing and incredibly useful tool that is used by a lot of New Page Patrollers and other editors that frequently rate articles. Suggestions for improvement on the gadget's talk page go unnoticed by its creator and that is a big shame. Although the tool is amazing, an editor actively improving it could do some tremendous good by taking over maintenance of the tool.
These are just some of the improvements that could be made to the tool. Thanks to whoever decides to help here! — Insert CleverPhrase Here 09:09, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Struway2 has made this Template:Soccerbase season page, however, this will take a lot of time to use the copy and paste and changing the ID and year parameter to every football article with the longer code version to display the references. A script would get things done easier and quicker to do. For example, changing the content from this {{Cite web| title = Games played by Matthew Lowton in 2011/2012| url = http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=53439&season_id=141| publisher = Soccerbase| accessdate = 23 June 2015}} to this {{Soccerbase season|id=53439|season=2011|name=Matthew Lowton|accessdate=23 June 2015}} would take a long time for the same user to do for every page.

I think it'd be great if, when you hover over a hyperlink to another Wikipedia article, a small box pops up giving you the first few lines and maybe the lead picture of that article. It'd sort of look like when you hover over a citation number now. I have no idea how to do this, but I think it'd be awesome if there was just a term or something that someone didn't know, that they could just hover over the link instead of having to open a new tab. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BenJenkins ( talk • contribs)

There isn't currently a great script for stub sorting and stub tagging, the best I have found is User:Ais523/stubtagtab2.js, ideally we would have a hotcat-like searchable field for stub tagging. This would be useful to both New Page Reviewers, as well as to Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting.
Ideally it would work as a hierarchy system somehow, using the hierarchy system at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Stub_types. For example; you would put 'school' into the field, then when you select School stubs, it would populate a scroll-able list suggesting the next level of hierarchy down (e.g. African school stubs, Asian school stubs, etc), then when you select African school stubs, it would populate a scroll-able list suggesting the next level of hierarchy down (e.g. Algerian school stubs, Kenyan school stubs, etc), and so on until you reach the bottom of the hierarchy tree. You should also be able to use the search tree to search for any stub tag, (e.g. jump directly to Kenyan school stubs).
At minimum a hotcat-like search field that you can just search in would be great, but a hierarchy system would be way better at minimising generic stub choices (a hierarchy sytem for Hotcat would also be really awesome, but that is another job entirely.

A script that would rollback automatically a persistent vandal until an admin blocks him. To prevent abuse, maybe the script would work only if the user is reported to AIV. L293D ( ☎ • ✎) 18:35, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
A script that automatically pops up a small box whenever you navigate to an unreviewed main-space page (ideally pinned to the bottom right side of the window and scrolls with the page to stay out of the way of the reviewer, similar to the Page Curation tools), in which it runs a search in Earwig's copyvio detector. This box would be grey at first (while the search is running), but would then display the confidence % result of the copyvio report and change colour to Green/Yellow/Red (depending on the confidence %). Clicking on the box would either A) 'expand' it in a window without navigating away from the page, allowing the reviewer to click on the box to expand the copyvio report, or click it again to minimise it and display only the colour coded confidence% result (ideally), or B) link to the full copyvio report page and open it in a new tab (probably much easier, but it would be better not to have to navigate away form the page).
Option to have it be not automatic would be nice (instead only launching it manually like most other scripts). It should also be able to be launched manually on articles that are already marked as 'reviewed', but this should be by default not automatic. And it should also be configurable for manual or automatic use on AfC drafts (probably default as automatic). — Insertcleverphrasehere ( or here) 22:41, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

There is a huge backlog within most Wikipedia Projects of unclassified articles. I've been recently assessing a number of these for the Politics Project, and have noticed a few patterns that I believe could be automated to heavily reduce this backlog.
And of course, if we can heavily reduce the backlog like this, we will make attempting the remaining tasks that must be classified by hand less daunting, and thus more likely to be done. It is true that the second part of this proposal will sometimes result in incorrect classification, but the criteria will be up for each taskforce to determine and so I don't believe that risk should prevent this bot being created - and even if they are incorrectly assessed, a few incorrect assessments are better than numerous unassessed articles.
If no one is interested in taking this up then I do intend to get around to it at some point - unless someone is able to explain why it is stupid/unnecessary, though I think the first part of this proposal would be better as a modification to the existing tag-update bot.

It would be helpful to have a tool that automatically searches an article for various words to watch, as defined in Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Such a tool would be very helpful in checking if an article complies with the style guidelines. This check would be useful in Good Article and Featured Article reviews.
My thinking is that the tool would be used while editing an article, allowing the editor to tab through the potential violations to review and correct them if needed.

The code exists - MediaWiki:Gadget-popups.js detects both and hovering over a name like User:Chyah will show BLOCKED, LOCKED.

Edit warring is one of the most disruptive issue that can happen, and articles under active EW should be approached with caution (and could use also external opinions).

The indicator would simply check the number of reverts in the last 24h.

A script is needed to automate lexicographical ordering of items in bullet-lists. This may also be useful in See also sections of articles. Some points to bear in mind:
Uhm, I guess that's the only point. If you choose to undertake this task, I would be happy to provide insight, if it proves challenging.
The first person to conclude a sufficient algorithm gets cake. Regards, GUYWAN ( t · c ) 22:47, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
{{
userscript}}
template on each line.
Here it is in action. Some limitations are that it cannot sort entries that have no name parameter and it does not attempt to sort sub-lists.
Here's a link to the script. I might add functionality to sort scripts with no name parameter but I'm taking a break for now.

23:39, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Hi greetings, I have a suggestion of a new user script helping in merging articles easily. I mean this script should help to do all things listed in WP:MERGETEXT. My suggestions on the tool are...
This is only some suggestions in my mind. It will be very beneficial to users who perform merging if this tool become available. I think there is no other scripts regarding this. Hope that the concerned will consider this. Thank you.-- PATH SLOPU 13:58, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Would it be possible to write a userscript which would allow addition of inline cleanup tags without having to open the full editor? I find myself reading articles on topics I'm curious about and spotting issues such as weasel words or uncited claims, and I want to add the cleanup tags, but this involves opening the editor and finding the same spot again, which infringes on my reading experience. I know, the standard response here is don't tag but be bold, and I try to do that whenever possible, but to be frank often this happens on topic I don't know much about or have very little interest in improving. I still think that in such situations providing some feedback to parties interested in improving the article may be of some use.
This request is really inspired by my experience of using User:Galobtter/Shortdesc helper. Since I've started using it, upon encountering pages without descriptions, I often find myself reading an article until I have some basic understanding of the topic and writing a description before navigating away, which is something I did significantly less before I discovered the aforementioned tool that makes it super easy.
Thanks for your consideration. Melmann 18:43, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
Not sure why this wasn't included in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rc when the group by page option was added for recent changes and the watchlist, but I wanted to do precisely that on Special:Contributions pages. I looked everywhere and asked at the Village Pump, to no avail. So I'll leave this as a suggestion here. Guarapiranga ( talk) 04:10, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

Regarding the talks on (over)linking of dates
The ZoomOnThumb gadget (to zoom images temporarily on mouseover) has been available for a long time on the fr.wiki "Gadgets" preferences page, and it works quite well. I suggest that it be installed among the Gadgets which all en.wiki users can enable through their preferences.
In the meantime, interested users can import it into their common.js script. See mine at User:Tonymec/common.js. Already loaded pages must be reloaded for this JS to work once you've added it to your common.js; AFAICT it doesn't work if the image is inside an infobox. — Tonymec ( talk) 16:22, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
mw.loader.load('//fr.wikipedia.org/?title=MediaWiki:Gadget-ZoomOnThumb.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');
.
Tonymec, if you want this script to be installed as a gadget, make a request at
WP:VPT.–

Example diff
Note, how in the URL version 843666779 goes before 843651236, and it is the reverse in the wikilink syntax. It would be convenient, if one could easily copy [[Special:Diff]]
syntax from the diff page. —

I would like a drop down list in the top toolbar that displays a list of all of User's subpages like sandboxes, common.js pages, etc. Thanks in advance. DishitaBhowmik 16:50, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
A script which hyphenates ISBN-13 digits (with four hyphens), similar to this website. A script which converts ISBN-10 to 13 would be appreciated also. Thank-you.-- Nevé – selbert 23:13, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
Students make similar errors when editing and each new batch repeats similar errors made by the last batch. I am wanting a user script that analysis the students edits and provides them feedback. For example:
I am involved with supporting a number of classes, including one of medical students at UCSF. I am wanting to trial this sort of script on them to see if they find it useful and it decreases the work load for other volunteers. Currently education initiatives are not really scalable and this sort of script will help make them so. Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 04:57, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
There is the page Wikipedia:Tools/Greasemonkey_user_scripts which shows publicly usable Greasemonkey scripts to give the users a better experience. Sadly there is no list for requested scripts. So I guess, this one here has to be the right one for this purpose, too.
I think, I have a request to make Wikipedia usable / readable for normal people (without an account) again. Please, provide us (or at least the technically versed parts of us) with some means to disable these annoying "features" of the Wikipedia once and for all. I don't think that I have to name reasons here - there are multiple comments on the appropriate discussion pages which seem to be ignored altogether.
So please, give at least the Greasemonkey users the possibility to turn off Media viewer and Page preview. It's really no help at all to have to choose to disable them about a hundred times a day (for every browser instance [in case of the Page preview also for every already opened browser tab!], for every language version, multiple times a day again and again and again)!
Otherwise Wikipedia seems not to be usable in an effective manner anymore. Even on big screens it's hard to find a spot to "park" your mouse cursor at to be able to scroll the site without having previews popping up every now and then. - Which totally disturbs the normal workflow! -- 141.76.83.180 ( talk) 16:04, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
