Hello everyone, and welcome to the 26th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 August 2024. OPTIONAL FLAVOR TEXT ~~~ ~~~~

Featured script

[edit]

, by , is this edition's featured script. LONGER DESCRIPTION

Updated scripts

[edit]

• Andrybak/Unsigned helper forks Anomie/unsignedhelper to add support for binary search, automatic edit summaries after generating the {{unsigned}} template, support for {{undated}}, and support for generating while syntax highlighting is on. It still doesn't include support for the 2017 wikitext editor or the visual editor.

Newly maintained scripts

[edit]

• MOVED SCRIPT 1

Improve a script

[edit]

• Many of our favorite scripts such as Fred Gandt/userResourceManager, Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts and Bradv/Superlinks haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
• Elominius/media timer works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
• To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
• We want...

• ...watchlist notices support for Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin
• ...a tool to automatically fix CAT:BROKENREFs, preferably a fork/addition to TheJJJunk/ARA
• ...a fix/fork of DannyS712/SectionRemover to make it work

Requested scripts

• PENDING REQUEST 1
• ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

Miscellaneous

[edit]

• Doğu/Adiutor, a Twinkle/RedWarn-like userscript that follows modern WMF UI design, is now an extension. However, it needs mw:code stewardship (among some audits) to be installed on your favorite WMF wikis.
• DannyS712, our former chief editor, has ascended to MediaWiki and the greener purpley pastures of PHP with commits to create Special:NamespaceInfo and the __EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__ magic word to exclude a template from Special:UnusedTemplates! I wonder if Wikipedia has a templaters' newsletter...

• SCRIPT 1
• AUTHOR WITH MULTIPLE SCRIPTS

  AUTHOR'S SCRIPT 1

• 1AmNobody24: Find Link provides a shortcut to its namesake tool, Edward/Find link, which helps de-WP:ORPHAN articles.
• Andrybak: Contribs ranger generates links to a limited set (range) of user contributions, log items, or page history. You see, it's not just contribs!
• When viewing Category:Articles missing coordinates with coordinates on Wikidata, User:Jeeputer/coordInserter adds links to automatically insert coordinates into the article selected.
• User:Nardog
  • /DiffUndo allows you to double click lines of the "show changes" view to drop that change.
  • /InsertAnyChar adds a searchable list of all Unicode characters to the 2010 source editor.
