The code is available from my monobook.js, but I've got to polish it a bit, make it a little more flexible, and of course write documentation. You can test the Fast Tagger tab on Image:TestImage.jpg.

Quick Proposed Deletion ScriptI don't know if this is really needed that often, or already done, but I thought I'd mention it. I created a small script similar to QWikify to be able to automatically load the edit page, ask for the reason, tag the page, add the summary, and submit to tag the page as proposed deletion (a new alternative to AfD here). It's somewhat buried in my code, but I could clean it off, and comment it up for use as tutorial and such if people were interested. --Mathwizard1232 01:11, 16 February 2006 (UTC) I feel like an idiot...Whenver I edit my monobook.js, I use document.getElementById() but it always, ALWAYS returns null or undefined or something even though I use the IDs from the HTML source code. I'm positive something is going wrong but it's probably something really simple and I know after I figure it out I'll wonder why I didn't sooner. DPFUNEditor 20:11, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

function shortEditLink() {
document.getElementById("ca-edit").firstChild.firstChild.data = "edit";

addOnloadHook(shortEditLink); // addOnloadHook is a Wikipedia-specific function
help needed: "addOnloadHook is not defined"I got the following error when I tried the user script on my local mediawiki (installed on my windows XP desktop): "addOnloadHook is not defined". However, the same script works well in the official en.wikipedia.com. Your help is greatly appreciated!
Newbie having a bad dayI do lots of proof-reading, so I want the "edit zeroth section" capability. So I checked my preferences (still defaulted to MonoBook), read the Meta help, copied all the script for Edit Top (no helper requirements listed in the box) from between the PRE delimiters, pasted into my User:TJFrazier/monobook.js page, and got . . . nothing.
Need to edit pages asynchronously?Hey all. I just wrote a function for my Image Autotagger project that I thought might be useful to others.

Attaching eventhandler to onkeypress and onkeydown for wpTextbox1Hi: I wanted to be able to type in a foreign language: (persian) within an English environment without installing keyboard. I have these js libraries that take care of that. But I need to attach eventhandler to wpTextbox1 and I just can't. I almost know no JS. Any help is deeply appreciated. My monobook can be seen here: [1] Cheers, Behaafarid 03:59, 11 March 2006 (UTC) I just discovered this amazingly convenient way of linking directly to a user's personal monobook.js page. I've updated the tutorial to use it, but I'm sure there are plenty of other places with convoluted instructions for locating your own monobook.js.

Help!Not sure if this is the place to ask, but it seems as likely as any. This morning, after not being able to connect to WP for most of yesterday, I was able to connect, but none of the tools in User:SteinbDJ/monobook.js seemed to be working.

Zocky | picture popups 22:30, 1 May 2006 (UTC) RfA helpersI'd appreciate it if someone with more scripting genius than I posess could look at adjusting the AFD helper scripts to work for RfA. Specifically, one that would hide all open RfA's until the "show" link was clicked, and one that would do the {{subst:rfap/f}} {{subst:rfab}} tags as well as "Vote here" → "Final" and "ending" → "ended". Obviously, that would either have to leave the p/f in the first rfa tag empty, to be filled in, or have a Passed/Failed? dialogue that would allow you to select. As for the show/hide option, something that would default hide all nominations until the "show" link was clicked, to make page loading and navigation faster.

Godmode-light errorHi guys, I'm having trouble with Godmode-light. Neither Sam Hocevar's original code or Misza13's version which I, er, borrowed seem to be working correctly. Whenever I click the Rollback link, I just get a page saying something like: Please wait, reverting edits by 69.175.147.51...

DYK automationI just created 3 functions for DYK automation, which can be seen in User:Lar/DYK/monobook.js (and invoked from User:Lar/moretabs/monobook.js. They are suitable for use in tabs or dropdown menu tabs, to be activated while editing a page. Two are for user talk pages and one is for the article talk page. I'm not saying they are great but they do help speed up the DYK process a bit. My question (and you knew there would be a question) is this: the one for article talk pages puts the notice box at the end of whatever section you are editing at the time. (thanks to the typical tacking on to the end of the existing text which I cribbed from other helper functions: var f = document.editform, t = f.wpTextbox1;
if (t.value.length > 0)
t.value += '\n';
t.value += "{{subst:dyktalk|"+dayMoStr+"|"+yearStr+"}} ~~~~";
But in fact the best place to put the notice box, if you're editing an articletalk that already has notice boxes, is after all the existing notice boxes but before any other text. You can achieve this manually by editing section 0, if there is a section break after the notice boxes but it was pointed out that actually FINDING the notice boxes and putting the new text in right after them, irregardless of other text. So... (finally!) is there an example of a function that uses regexp parsing to find a mid text insertion point I can crib from. If it was regexp parsing that could find ANY notice box (whether templatised or substed in) that would be swell, but I think that's a bit much to ask for... or is it? You guys are pretty clever... Maybe find the start of regular text instead? Or just live with having to move the box after it's pasted in? Or ask more questions about where it should go before pasting it in? thoughts? (It was suggested I ask Lupin directly but I'd rather ask here, maybe the answer will benefit others) ++Lar: t/c 17:43, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
box=/\}\}/
t=document.editform.wpTextbox1
if(box.test(t.value)){
t.value = t.value.replace(box,"}}\n{{subst:dyktalk|"+dayMoStr+"|"+yearStr+"}} ~~~~")
}
which will add it below the first project box (assuming its not WP:SUBST'd). Andy t 22:15, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Most editable pages, the name of the form where you insert text is "editform" and the field is "wpTextbox1", so you do this to get the txt hook to append or prepend to:
What is the equivalent form and field name pair for an image upload page (for example http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload )? I tried that and it did not work, so I viewed source on that page and read the tags. Based on that I thought the form was "upload" and the field "wpUploadDescription", but if i do this
I am getting "Error: document.upload has no properties" at that assignment in my javascript console... What am I doing wrong? (pointing me at code that inserts things in fields on upload pages would be as good as an answer... ) Thanks!!! ++Lar: t/c 03:50, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

My monobook.js is at User:WCityMike/monobook.js. For some reason, when I am on an article's history page, I can click whatever lefthand radio button I desire, but the other versions' right radiohand buttons don't open up and follow down, thus preventing me from diff-ing two particular versions. When I remove the AfD Helper code from my monobook.js (which I had subst-ed in and added a few more reasonings and thoughts to), it seems to solve the problem -- but it always operated fine before, never before having causing this error to the best of my knowledge. My thought is that it might be an interaction with some new code I just installed, but my attempts to figure out what's going on have really been the equivalent of stumbling around blindly in the dark. If any of you would have a clue as to what's causing it, please let me know (and/or feel free to edit it yourself, of course). I'm, in advance, much obliged. — Mike (talk • contribs) 15:20, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Still hoping someone might be kind enough to help, as I'm going a bit bonkers. I've seen the problem on both Portable Firefox v1.5.0.3 and on MacFirefox v1.5.0.4, making me think it is a code-specific and not machine-specific problem; as my two Firefox installs have some mutual extensions, I've also tested that theory by running Portable Firefox in safe mode, and the problem still readily recurred, so I don't think it's a problem caused by a Greasemonkey script or a Firefox extension. My educated, and layman's, guess is that the AFD Helper code is conflicting with some other piece of code in the template; if I remove the AFD Helper code from the monobook.js code, the problem does not occur. However, I have been participating in AfD a great deal, and the nomination and voting script has been particularly useful in that participation; furthermore, I don't think it's a problem specifically with the AFD Helper code, as it was one of the earlier pieces of code I put into my monobook.js and this behavior has only recently come to light. (If I could track down precisely when, I imagine I'd have my answer.) The problem, specifically, is that the diffs radio buttons don't populate down when a diff is selected, making it impossible to select two diffs on the history screen to compare to. The problem does not occur with Bedbug or with a few other randomly sampled articlespace pages, but does appear to occur with non-articlespace articles, such as my talk page or this very page. The problem does not seem to occur with the history page of User:WCityMike/monobook.js. I'm not sure what these differentials mean, but I hope they are of diagnostic help. A question: if you are subst-ing in the error-ing code to test it and not seeing this behavior, are you doing a Force Refresh (Ctrl-F5 on Firefox) afterwards to make sure the code is loaded? I'm sorry to disturb you all, but I'm really at a loss to figure out what's misbehaving here, and would very much appreciate your insight and/or diagnosis. — Mike (talk • contribs) 20:48, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Duplication of Toolbox Links/TabsEh, I was lucky with the other problem, so let's see if I can conquer this longstanding one. Once in a while, if I add a script portion to my monobook.js file, all of a sudden, all of my list items and my tabs will duplicate. So, for example, if I have a "changes since last edited" tab, and a piece of code is added, I'll then see two of them, or if I've added links to "personal tools" or to "toolbox," they'll be duplicated. (Ditto with additions to my watchlist such as (unwatch) or (adah), which then become (adah) (adah) and (unwatch) (unwatch).) I usually then have to revert the addition. I've seen this so far with the "rename 'edit this page' to 'edit'" script fragment and the "list red links" script fragment. Very often, this will also mean the script in question won't work — although not all the time (the "list red links" script, for example, doesn't work in this case, but the "rename edit this page" fragment did). Not asking you guys to reinvent the wheel, but is this a known quirk? Any idea what might cause this? — Mike (talk • contribs) 20:31, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Access from a new windowHi, I'm from the German Wikipedia but we don't have such experts there ;) So my question here: I open a new window which contains a list of categories and this javascript: function add_cat(cat){
link = "\n" + cat + "";
opener.document.editform.wpTextbox1.value += link;
}
(And then I've got links like that: So far so good, and on my own PC, with a dummy file containing a form called "editform" and the textarea "wpTextbox1", it works perfectly fine. Is there any script in MediaWiki that "protects" the editform from being controlled from another window or something? And if so, how can I get around that? Thanks a lot, Bernardissimo

Project directoryHello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

My problem is that, as of right now, the only way for me to use the scripts is if there is nothing at all in the talk page besides the template in question (which my script then wipes out and replaces).

// when in edit mode.

Since there is also Special:Mypage/monobook.css, I don't know if that would be the correct merge to do though. AZ t 17:25, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Arrows in edit summariesAt the moment, the software places a rightwards-pointing arrow on edit summaries generated by section edits and the contents of MediaWiki space place a leftwards-pointing arrow on autosummaries for redirecting, blanking, and replacing content (see WP:AES). Maybe it would be a good idea to have a standardised symbol on edit summaries generated by scripts and/or bots? --ais523 13:14, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Formatter is a nice small script useed by many users, but it doesn't seem to have a 'caretaker'. There are some suggestions on how to improve it on talk, but we don't have anybody to implement them - perhaps a person experienced with scripts could 'adopt' this script?-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 21:28, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Assistance with bureaucrat JSSome time ago, Voice of All wrote a nifty little bureaucrat script that helps to close RfAs. Unfortunately, over time, it's become rather overfeatured, including several features that makes the job harder, rather than easier. Additionally, several bugs have developed, causing even more problems. At this time, I'm looking for a talented coder who can either adapt the existing code (located in the history of User:Essjay/bureaucrat.js), or write new code to do this, and only this:
That's all I need it to do; I don't need it to open up Special:Makesysop, the user's talk page, add comments to the RfA's talk page, check voting records, waive flags, or launch ICBMs at Willy on Wheels. From there, I can take the rest. Thanks to whomever can take care of this for me. Essjay (Talk) 03:19, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
How do I get Javascript to automatically send me to another page?Yeah... Pretty much the heading. I have no idea, but I'd like to. -Amarkov blahedits 02:29, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay, now how do I set up things to execute one after another?The functions are executing on the page I'm currently on. How do I make it go to the other page before trying to execute the stuff? -Amarkov blahedits 01:24, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia Day AwardsHello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 19:36, 30 December 2006 (UTC) |
