My JavaScript & Cascading Style Sheets

edit
  • Developed for the Vector (legacy/2010 not 2022) skin; may not work well or at all for others
  • May conflict with other user scripts, stylesheets or Gadgets
  • Some do conflict with MediaWiki "Web Fonts" (will look into it)

My common JS & CSS

edit

Currently in use and reliable

edit
  • navigationUI.js – compressed navigation user interface with expanded content; "sticky header" since 2016 😜
  • quickLinks.js – discrete UI widget for easily maintaining a user defined list of bookmarks; interwiki use (nearly)
  • allowTabs.js – tab key inserts a tab character instead of jumping to next input whilst editing
  • showSpecialDiffLink.js – shows a configured [[Special:Diff/oldid/diff]] link syntax on diff pages
  • correctFirstHeadingOfSpecialPages.js – does what it says on the tin; e.g. special page first heading "User contributions for Fred Gandt" becomes "Special:Contributions/Fred_Gandt"
  • unwatchList.js – unwatch (and rewatch if you make a mistake) pages directly while viewing changes to your watchlist
    • Functionality built into preferences now; apply some CSS and it's not bad; probably more efficient

On the todo list

edit

Not fully fleshed out

edit

Possibly working; definitely nasty

edit
  • globalWatchlist.js – watchlists from all projects linked to Watchlist; needs streamlining

Avoid like the plague!

My modules

edit

I consider myself a novice Lua learner.

In progress

edit

It seems like I'm currently doing something else...

Semi complete

edit

Safe space for testing

edit

Because messing about for days or weeks at a time in other Module's sandboxes is likely to be bothersome to other editors

Please discuss

edit

Recently, on two occasions (then and then), the spelling of Slash's current girlfriend's name has been actively disputed without discussion; for the record, let us have the discussion and put the dispute to rest.

In the body of the article, Hodges's first name is stated only once, making reference to a Daily Mail (which has been discussed at length and is considered potentially unreliable) publication, and is spelled "Meegan". The value of the |partner= parameter in the article's {{Infobox person}} template currently states "Megan" as the spelling for her first name.

Disruptively edit-arguing over article content without even descriptive/informative edit summaries is an unacceptable method of attempting to establish article content; let us discuss the difference of opinion, reach consensus and let the matter lie. Until consensus has been reach with regard to the content directly related to this discussion, the status quo should be maintained.

International English

edit

You recently edited Rubin Carter with the edit summary (thanks for actually leaving them) Fixed a word: changed a non existant word to what it seems to be was the intended word, ie burgle; "burglarize" is an "existant" word[1] (unlike "existant" which should probably have been "existent"). These differences in international English usage can be trivial, but can also be quite important. For example; some articles are explicitly written in British English or American English with deference to their content, and editors should maintain the correct spellings etc. We even have special templates designed to maintain the continuity, such as {{Use American English}} (see its documentation's "See also" section for loads of other similar specification templates). Just something to be aware of.
