Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 15

News and updates associated with user scripts from the past month (April 2020).

Hello everyone and welcome to the 15th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter:

Scripts Submit your new/improved script here SD0001's find-archived-section, now a gadget, is this month's featured script Enterprisey: link-deleted-revs (On error pages for deleted revisions, show a link to the Special:Undelete page) undelete-backlink (On Special:Undelete pages for diffs and revisions, link back to the main Undelete page with the list of revisions) Epicgenius's sortcategories (sorts categories in an article alphabetically) Awesome Aasim: addmylinks (adds a customizable area for links and/or text to the sidebar) editrequest (tool that allows for processing and answering edit requests) DemonDays64's Dumb quotes (replaces smart curly single and double quotes with "dumb" quotes) Guywan's FileMoverHelper (move files and replace their uses in one action) Enterprisey's reply-link has been updated to fail less, especially around template transclusions. Twinkle released new features, including a new option to disable individual modules, support for stub template nomination at CfD, and integration with the PageTriage extension used to patrol new pages. (See full list of changes)

Open tasks The mediawiki.notify resource loader module was deprecated and is no longer needed; its functionality is now available by default. See mw:ResourceLoader/Migration guide (users) for more. Any dependency on it should be removed. Pending requests A script to reload feeds automatically A script to mark templates in the TFD holding cell as ready for deletion ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

Miscellaneous

• Wikipedia:User scripts/Most imported scripts now also shows the number of active users for each script. It will now be updated by a bot periodically.
• Twinkle's Morebits library added a new Morebits.date class to replace the moment library. It can handle custom formatting and natural language for dates, as well as section header regexes. If you were using getUTCMonthName or getUTCMonthNameAbbrev with Date objects, those have been deprecated and should be updated.
• User:SD0001/find-archived-section was made a gadget. You can enable it from your gadget preferences, in the Browsing section.

Hope everyone stays safe. --DannyS712 (talk) 20:27, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
