Hello! Most of my time in my home wiki these days is spent fixing citation problems. The usual procedure for me is like this: Go to Category:CS1 (well, the Albanian homologue of it), choose a sub-category, choose a page, go to its bottom, check the ref-section, find the problem, click the little arrow to get sent to the corresponding text portion, memorize the sentence where the reference is, click "edit", CTRL+F for the memorized sentence, fix the error, save, repeat.
Doing tens of fixes per day becomes a bit time consuming so I was wondering if something can be done so that it would allow me to remove some of the steps above. What I'm actually hoping for is a script that allows me to actually press edit right in the ref-section and be sent to the corresponding text portion with the said reference highlighted. Ideally there should also be another highlighting color highlighting the parameter (and its corresponding value) that actually needs fixing but I'd be happy even without that. - Klein Muçi ( talk) 11:36, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
or example in the ref part
interface small things like the + button on articles for sections not having its own separating lines
or maybe the "forget the changes" button not being red colored
logic and behavior aspects like, what happens when you try to reply to 2 different discussions simultaneously
and the new user can't really do that with its "basic account"
which greatly change the most common used features in Wikipedia, like article editing
In these cases, I'd prefer it if Bawl made use of the current native features instead of almost recreating new ones from scratch
Or at least tried to preserve the native features' interface and workflow as much as it could.
and only adding a new button for comment editing
but also use it as an example for the developing teams to update the current native features we have
and ideally fully merge it with them in an upcoming future
could it be possible that you considered the option to release parts of Bawl's functionalities as lite script snippets on their own? For example the comment or ref editing functions.
In regard to chopping down Bawl on smaller snippets: I understand. What I had in mind was a "template-like creation" where Bawl was rewritten to be more or less an invocation of multiple other scripts ("templates") which could very well stand on their own.
As many editors would know, block and ban evasion is not always detected quickly, sometimes if it happens on relatively quiet topics, it can remain hidden for several months before being rooted out and dealt with. Then you are left with the task of clearing up stuff, such as G5'ing and reverting.
For example with Itsisaacs, the editor had forked a template multiple times, then proceeded to transclude those forks into several hundred pages. To allow those templates to be G5'd without leaving behind hundreds of broken transclusions required hours of one-by-one, opening the page history, reverting the transclusion (and anything else they had done, if possible), and moving on to the next page, before finally being able to G5 all the forked templates.
'MassRollback' is a thing, but that is only useful when their edits are the most recent revision, but in this case, a full 4 months had elapsed, and most of their edits weren't the most recent revision.
This is just one of several times that I have found myself frustrated at the lack of a tool to do this, all these times have been when I've been staring at the contributions list of a block or ban evader who managed to avoid detection for longer than most.
What this needs is a script that allows for the mass reversion of edits by a single user with the 'Undo' function, as opposed to 'Rollback'. It would start at their most recent edits, undoing whatever it could. It should also be able to be filtered, (via the inbuilt contributions list filtering) such as by namespace, to avoid reverting 'Talk' edits unnecessarily, or by date, so that only edits made after a block or ban are reverted. The interface would ideally be similar to the MassRollback script, allowing for either all edits to be reverted, or only a specified selection.

It is relatively common that a simple logo if unnecessarily licensed as fair use. Would greatly help if there's a script to change the information in {{ Logo fur}} to their respective parameters in {{ Information}}. There should also be an option to change {{ non-free logo}} (and it's equivalents) to include {{ PD-textlogo}}{{ Trademarked}} and include 1. {{ SVG-logo}} if the file has a .svg extension and 2. {{ PD-ineligible-USonly}} if the file is free in the US and not in their source country.

Many a wikiarchaeologist browse to talk pages only to find voluminous pre-2010 sections that archive bots will struggle to identify and archive (e.g., Talk:Dale Farm). The only solution is painstaking reverse searching and combing through diffs to then add the {{ unsigned}} template. Preferably, it'd be nice to have a script that identifies all talk page sections that do not end with a timestamp, lookup and add the timestamp, and preview the edit for the editor to apply. Cleaner talk pages and happy editors. This request is mentioned in Enterprisey's list above and there might be a headstart in User:Anomie/unsignedhelper (which only applies one comment at a time for those who use the old toolbar), but wanted to make a request for a more permanent solution for this common problem. czar 20:01, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

@ Qwerfjkl: I just noticed that you have the script set to only work with capitalized letters. This effectively solves the problem of the script trying to change 2-letter combinations within words. Because they would not be capitalized. So I guess that problem is solved. I ran a test with multiple columns in the second section of User:Timeshifter/Sandbox180. A couple of the columns had text. There were no problems. -- Timeshifter ( talk) 09:55, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

23:38, 6 October 2022 (UTC)For example I want to search for a specific URL: web.mit.edu
As you may know, Wikipedia search engine only searches via text. So in a wiki article, it should contain explicitly the text "web.mit.edu". Hence, the search engine would not show " this" even though it contains the URL.

13:07, 19 October 2022 (UTC)Hi, all! I posted this question at the Teahouse and it was suggested that I ask here. I'm looking for a tool that would help me see the assessment ratings in a given category. My specific interest right now is to sort through this list for articles rated C class or lower by Wikiproject Christianity. (It would actually also be useful to see at a glance if there were articles in that list that aren't rated by that Wikiproject, since they all ought to be.) @ Tigraan did some initial tinkering (described further on his Teahouse post), but ran into an obstacle since categories are only listed on main pages and ratings only on corresponding Talk pages. I tried using this article quality fetcher, the concept of which works, but it doesn't apply to category pages. Any suggestions? Much thanks! Brian ( talk) 19:51, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
"Category"
instead of ""
, the script will color article names only in Category space. See
User:Jonesey95/AQFetcher.js, which I copied from User:N8wilson/AQFetcher.js and which I will not be maintaining. I suggest that you copy that .js file into your own user space and then load it from your common.js. See the last two lines of
User:Jonesey95/vector.js for how to do that. If you make your own copy of the .css file in your User space, you can adjust the colors to make it easier for you to browse for articles that interest you. –

Hi all! I've cannibalised an old script I found to easily fix old ITN talk templates which haven't been updated since the parameters were changed. The problem I'm having with my script is that it won't work if I have the syntax highlighter on and it also won't properly mark edit's as minor. Here is my script currently: User:Mesidast/Fix ITN Talk.js
I'm presuming the way scripts handle editing have changed since the original script was written and so what I'm doing is probably out of date. If anyone could set me straight on what the current methods are it'd be much appreciated. Mesidast ( talk) 11:17, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

17:43, 1 November 2022 (UTC)I think this is a good one. When I edit a page's full wikitext, I often find myself jumping between sections (level 2 headings) but it requires either using my browser's "Find" text search function (and typing the name of the section) or a lot of scrolling up and down. It would be much better if, for instance, I could replace my entire left sidebar (I'm in Monobook, personally) with a table of contents ( H:TOC) that I could click to scroll to the relevant anchor within the text editor. Being able to hop between article sections fast would be a big deal for a lot of heavy editors. czar 04:50, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
I think of a color like the orange for the DABs or green for redirects. Currently I know of red interwikilinks or blue ones. The red ones we can detect and they also automatically change to blue if an article is created. Now the blue ones I do not know how to detect but need to notice that an article in the English wikipedia was created, but wouldn't be encouraged in creating a missing one if the link is shown as blue and therefore suggests an article already exists. Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 01:15, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
A script that lets one add or remove articles from the ones that appear in user views. Like a watchlist for userviews. I do not create disambiguation pages because they then appear also in my userviews and it would bloat the count (I created one, and then stopped). I also tend to update articles that surge in the userviews and if I could add other articles to such a watchlist it would help me in updating other articles as well. Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 22:30, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
If it called a tool, gadget or script I am not sure. I just believe the possibility of having access to such a watchlist would enhance the wikipedia experience of many. Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 22:36, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
In many of the citation templates, such as Cite web, Cite news, and Cite book, one of the parameters is "url-access," which adds a visual indicator and a note of whether a source is free to read or requires registration, subscription, or has some other limitation. These can be added manually but it can be a time-consuming process, especially when there's a lot of existing citations. It would be awesome to have a script that automates this whole process. I don't have any kind of coding experience or expertise or else I'd try and take this on myself, but I'd be happy to contribute to any kind of crowdsourcing necessary to put together a list of common sources and their access levels.

In the gadget at Preferences > Gadgets > Appearance, users can strike out usernames that have been blocked. This is a very handy feature. I would like to propose an enhancement that would strike the word 'Talk' in the Talk tab of the User talk page, whenever access to their own Talk page has been removed for a given user.
If this is technically difficult for whatever reason, then please add some other simple visual on the UTP that would represent the same information, for opted-in users. Currently, the only way I know to find out such information, is to scan the page (or the history, or the archives) for wording such as "talk page access removed". There has to be a better way.

User:Alex Smotrov/histcomb.js no longer works properly because of a change announced by the developers: "The URLs in "prev" links on page history now contain diff=prev&oldid=[revision ID] in place of diff=[revision ID]&oldid=[revision ID].

Section links to discussion pages are often broken because the section was archived. I suggest a script to help searching the archives based on the anchor in the url. Consider Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#How to install/activate "Related articles"? I chose an example with quotation and question marks which may require attention. The script could offer a one-click search similar to [1] and either show the search results or go straight to the perfect match Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 204#How to install/activate "Related articles"? It should maybe only run on pages where subpage archives are common like talk pages and the Wikipedia namespace. PrimeHunter ( talk) 13:59, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
Hello all, I was wondering if a tool could be made that would highlight any citation (such as [5]) which was repeated in sequence, with no interruption of a different citation, within the same paragraph. This would be very helpful for consolidating such unnecessary repetition of duplicate citations, something I like to carry out during reviews to avoid bothering the nominators with such mundane tasks.

If you click the top-most edit button on mobile, it takes you to #/editor/0
on the right-most part of the url, which edits only the lead. Replacing that with #/editor/all
opens up the editor with all sections (i.e. entire article). Some users also raised it on
Wikipedia talk:Editing on mobile devices#How to edit entire article? also. Since going to the url and changing "0" to "all" everytime you want to edit an article is a hectic exercise, there should be a script for this purpose. There can be two approaches for it: 1. changes the behaviour of existing "edit" button beside the "history" button to open the entire article editor, or 2. adds a new edit button somewhere near the top that opens the entire article editor, while keeping the lead editor there itself.

Ideally there should also be another highlighting color highlighting the parameter (and its corresponding value) that actually needs fixing but I'd be happy even without that. - Klein Muçi ( talk) 11:36, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
or example in the ref part
interface small things like the + button on articles for sections not having its own separating lines
or maybe the "forget the changes" button not being red colored
logic and behavior aspects like, what happens when you try to reply to 2 different discussions simultaneously
and the new user can't really do that with its "basic account"
which greatly change the most common used features in Wikipedia, like article editing
In these cases, I'd prefer it if Bawl made use of the current native features instead of almost recreating new ones from scratch
Or at least tried to preserve the native features' interface and workflow as much as it could.
and only adding a new button for comment editing
but also use it as an example for the developing teams to update the current native features we have
and ideally fully merge it with them in an upcoming future
could it be possible that you considered the option to release parts of Bawl's functionalities as lite script snippets on their own? For example the comment or ref editing functions.
In regard to chopping down Bawl on smaller snippets: I understand. What I had in mind was a "template-like creation" where Bawl was rewritten to be more or less an invocation of multiple other scripts ("templates") which could very well stand on their own.
As many editors would know, block and ban evasion is not always detected quickly, sometimes if it happens on relatively quiet topics, it can remain hidden for several months before being rooted out and dealt with. Then you are left with the task of clearing up stuff, such as G5'ing and reverting.
For example with Itsisaacs, the editor had forked a template multiple times, then proceeded to transclude those forks into several hundred pages. To allow those templates to be G5'd without leaving behind hundreds of broken transclusions required hours of one-by-one, opening the page history, reverting the transclusion (and anything else they had done, if possible), and moving on to the next page, before finally being able to G5 all the forked templates.
'MassRollback' is a thing, but that is only useful when their edits are the most recent revision, but in this case, a full 4 months had elapsed, and most of their edits weren't the most recent revision.
This is just one of several times that I have found myself frustrated at the lack of a tool to do this, all these times have been when I've been staring at the contributions list of a block or ban evader who managed to avoid detection for longer than most.
What this needs is a script that allows for the mass reversion of edits by a single user with the 'Undo' function, as opposed to 'Rollback'. It would start at their most recent edits, undoing whatever it could. It should also be able to be filtered, (via the inbuilt contributions list filtering) such as by namespace, to avoid reverting 'Talk' edits unnecessarily, or by date, so that only edits made after a block or ban are reverted. The interface would ideally be similar to the MassRollback script, allowing for either all edits to be reverted, or only a specified selection.

Many a wikiarchaeologist browse to talk pages only to find voluminous pre-2010 sections that archive bots will struggle to identify and archive (e.g., Talk:Dale Farm). The only solution is painstaking reverse searching and combing through diffs to then add the {{ unsigned}} template. Preferably, it'd be nice to have a script that identifies all talk page sections that do not end with a timestamp, lookup and add the timestamp, and preview the edit for the editor to apply. Cleaner talk pages and happy editors. This request is mentioned in Enterprisey's list above and there might be a headstart in User:Anomie/unsignedhelper (which only applies one comment at a time for those who use the old toolbar), but wanted to make a request for a more permanent solution for this common problem. czar 20:01, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

@ Qwerfjkl: I just noticed that you have the script set to only work with capitalized letters. This effectively solves the problem of the script trying to change 2-letter combinations within words. Because they would not be capitalized. So I guess that problem is solved. I ran a test with multiple columns in the second section of User:Timeshifter/Sandbox180. A couple of the columns had text.

I'm looking for a tool that would help me see the assessment ratings in a given category. My specific interest right now is to sort through this list for articles rated C class or lower by Wikiproject Christianity. (It would actually also be useful to see at a glance if there were articles in that list that aren't rated by that Wikiproject, since they all ought to be.) @ Tigraan did some initial tinkering (described further on his Teahouse post), but ran into an obstacle since categories are only listed on main pages and ratings only on corresponding Talk pages. I tried using this article quality fetcher, the concept of which works, but it doesn't apply to category pages. Any suggestions? Much thanks! Brian ( talk) 19:51, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
"Category"

User:Jonesey95/vector.js for how to do that. If you make your own copy of the .css file in your User space, you can adjust the colors to make it easier for you to browse for articles that interest you. –

17:43, 1 November 2022 (UTC)I think this is a good one. When I edit a page's full wikitext, I often find myself jumping between sections (level 2 headings) but it requires either using my browser's "Find" text search function (and typing the name of the section) or a lot of scrolling up and down. It would be much better if, for instance, I could replace my entire left sidebar (I'm in Monobook, personally) with a table of contents ( H:TOC) that I could click to scroll to the relevant anchor within the text editor. Being able to hop between article sections fast would be a big deal for a lot of heavy editors. czar 04:50, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
I think of a color like the orange for the DABs or green for redirects. Currently I know of red interwikilinks or blue ones. The red ones we can detect and they also automatically change to blue if an article is created. Now the blue ones I do not know how to detect but need to notice that an article in the English wikipedia was created, but wouldn't be encouraged in creating a missing one if the link is shown as blue and therefore suggests an article already exists.

A script that lets one add or remove articles from the ones that appear in user views. Like a watchlist for userviews. I do not create disambiguation pages because they then appear also in my userviews and it would bloat the count (I created one, and then stopped).

In many of the citation templates, such as Cite web, Cite news, and Cite book, one of the parameters is "url-access," which adds a visual indicator and a note of whether a source is free to read or requires registration, subscription, or has some other limitation. These can be added manually but it can be a time-consuming process, especially when there's a lot of existing citations. It would be awesome to have a script that automates this whole process. I don't have any kind of coding experience or expertise or else I'd try and take this on myself, but I'd be happy to contribute to any kind of crowdsourcing necessary to put together a list of common sources and their access levels.

In the gadget at Preferences > Gadgets > Appearance, users can strike out usernames that have been blocked. This is a very handy feature. I would like to propose an enhancement that would strike the word 'Talk' in the Talk tab of the User talk page, whenever access to their own Talk page has been removed for a given user.
If this is technically difficult for whatever reason, then please add some other simple visual on the UTP that would represent the same information, for opted-in users. Currently, the only way I know to find out such information, is to scan the page (or the history, or the archives) for wording such as "talk page access removed". There has to be a better way.

Section links to discussion pages are often broken because the section was archived. I suggest a script to help searching the archives based on the anchor in the url. Consider Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#How to install/activate "Related articles"? I chose an example with quotation and question marks which may require attention. The script could offer a one-click search similar to [1] and either show the search results or go straight to the perfect match Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 204#How to install/activate "Related articles"? It should maybe only run on pages where subpage archives are common like talk pages and the Wikipedia namespace. PrimeHunter ( talk) 13:59, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

If you click the top-most edit button on mobile, it takes you to #/editor/0
on the right-most part of the url, which edits only the lead. Replacing that with #/editor/all
opens up the editor with all sections (i.e. entire article). Some users also raised it on
Wikipedia talk:Editing on mobile devices#How to edit entire article? also. Since going to the url and changing "0" to "all" everytime you want to edit an article is a hectic exercise, there should be a script for this purpose. There can be two approaches for it: 1. changes the behaviour of existing "edit" button beside the "history" button to open the entire article editor, or 2. adds a new edit button somewhere near the top that opens the entire article editor, while keeping the lead editor there itself.
