Tip of the day Cannot find what you are looking for? Wikipedia is not Yahoo! Answers. But if you have a general question such as, "Why is the sky blue?", and you cannot find a Wikipedia article that answers it, you can ask your question at the Wikipedia:Reference desk.

I added a Portal and a user with 800,000 edits deleted it along with deleting some whitespace. Is this cool? (I used to be Checkingfax). See: Special:MobileDiff/1132289216 - Cheers! {{u|WikiWikiWayne}} {Talk} 05:40, 8 January 2023 (UTC) @WikiWikiWayne: There's an inline link to the portal, so, it looks like the situation worked out.    — The Transhumanist   02:23, 10 January 2023 (UTC) I added it back. Wondering why they deleted it previously, plus the whitespace. Cheers! {{u|WikiWikiWayne}} {Talk} 09:23, 10 January 2023 (UTC) Hey, The Transhumanist. I always thought that per MOS:LAYOUT that Portals went in the See also section, if the article contains a See also section. I recently put some Portals in an article, in See also, and somebody moved them to the very bottom of the References section. Now I see there is not much Portal placement guidance in MOS:LAYOUT. I wonder why? Are you still interested in Portals? Cheers! {{u|WikiWikiWayne}} {Talk} 19:11, 24 January 2023 (UTC) Lol so what about all that talk here https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/RfC:_Ending_the_system_of_portals#Onwards,_into_to_the_future... about "revitalizing portals" and their usefulness?? :C 2800:810:5A8:767:B1AB:E34C:F5D5:7D9A (talk) 00:20, 13 November 2024 (UTC) @WikiWikiWayne: Hey, how's it goin'? Links to portals do go into the see also section. See: Wikipedia:Portal#How to add portal links to articles In answer to your question, I'm not too into portals these days. I haven't been very involved in Wikipedia development over the past few years, though I use it each day. I occasionally switch to editor mode to fix a typo, or grammar, here or there, and less frequently do some real editing. I also respond to requests or notices to rescue pages in danger of deletion, and am involved with a rescue effort now. Currently, I'm also involved with a discussion of the potential impact of large language models, and the AI chatbots powered by them, like Chat-GPT, on Wikipedia, and how Wikipedia should respond via policy and action. 07:36, 25 January 2023 (UTC) Nomination of Outline of ancient China for deletion A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Outline of ancient China is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

JMWt (talk) 19:36, 26 January 2023 (UTC) ChatGPT and other LLMs Kudos on the initiative and determination on WP:VPP#Wikipedia response to chatbot-generated content. I've pinged Jimbo to the discussion, since it goes well beyond en.Wiki, both to the question of relevance of some human-generated content (eg. Wikis), as well as the technical capabilities of MW. François Robere (talk) 14:34, 28 January 2023 (UTC) @François Robere: Nice! By the way, I've been monitoring related news, and I'm continuously blown away. See why in my latest addition to the discussion: News update Use of "preview" (and your talk page) Firstly, I had problems even getting a message to you because in the latest "Vector" skin there is no "edit" button on your talk page. I had to revert the recent change just to post this message. Why not prioritise usability over prettiness and get rid of whatever silly formatting you have? The reason I came here in the first place is to urge you to use the "show preview" button rather than save uncompleted versions of your edits. Your edits flood watchlists and give people edit conflicts when they try to edit discussions such as Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Crystallize chatbot discussions into a policy?. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:33, 28 January 2023 (UTC) I do use preview, and save when I believe it is done. I have the compulsion to reread the post again after it is completed and saved. And if I find something wrong with it, I fix it. Then the cycle repeats itself. Sorry. I guess I can mark the revisit edits as minor. As for the formatting of this page, I was unaware of the edit button problem, as I use the old vector skin. It sounds like the new skin has ruined my formatting. I'll look into it. Thank you for the heads up.    — The Transhumanist   08:53, 29 January 2023 (UTC) P.S.: You can also use the API or shortcut keys to activate edit.    — The Transhumanist   08:55, 29 January 2023 (UTC) Proposed deletion of History of Shamakhi The article History of Shamakhi has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: The article is not notable, and unneeded While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons. You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Outline of lichens is the first outline to receive its FL star, as of today. :) Thanks for all your help and encouragement! MeegsC (talk) 23:28, 29 October 2023 (UTC) @MeegsC: Congratulations. Job well done. What's next? What do you have planned next in the outline department?    — The Transhumanist   23:53, 29 October 2023 (UTC) Mainspacing the draft outlines Hi, I like outlines. Did you request those draft outlines to be restored so you could work on them to move them to mainspace? —Alalch E. 19:59, 8 November 2023 (UTC) @Alalch E.: Those that can be, yes. Once an outline is ready for prime time, it can be moved into article space. That'll take more development for some than others. One that looks particularly close to being ready is Draft:Outline of George Washington.    — The Transhumanist   22:01, 8 November 2023 (UTC) Cool.

You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information. To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 13:30, 15 November 2023 (UTC) I'm quite new to editing, but you should be able just to release this image (while still giving credit to the references) because you made it as seen with the blue barnstar you used as a source. Daryl76679 (talk) 22:46, 15 November 2023 (UTC)  Done - Thank you for the heads up.    — The Transhumanist   00:53, 17 November 2023 (UTC) Question Was this really necessary? Jerium (talk) 22:09, 17 November 2023 (UTC) @Jerium: That's like asking, "Were the barnstars you've created necessary?" Which leads to "Is art necessary?" Yes. Very much so. And in art, details matter. It's your new design (adjusted slightly by color), and is symbolically much more representative of outlines, due to its tree structure icon. Well done. And you've anchored that symbol nicely to the WikiProject by displaying it prominently on its main page. That was brilliant. Now, by default, in a sense, all instances of its smaller version (in the awards) point back to it. Bravo!    — The Transhumanist   23:38, 17 November 2023 (UTC) The Transhumanist Okay, when you removed the alt that I had made at your request, I was not upset. In fact, based on the discussion on my talk page, I was not surprised as you were clearly thrilled with a barnstar being introduced; But now that we've ended up to this point, your biggest mistake occurred, confusing my patients for kindness. I and members of WP:WPWPA do not oust pre-existing barnstars, we only remaster barnstars that do not use File:Original Barnstar Hires.png per WP:B2G and add them into the barnstar template as the secondary alternative option while the original still remains in the template as the primary option. That is a gesture of honorable-courtesy, to acknowledge their efforts, original makers, in creating the original barnstars. The thing that no one ever does though, even if you are not a member of WP:WPWPA, is replace the barnstar file-images in barnstar templates that were already-rewarded to editors for whatever reason. That is just a low-ball move, near equivalent to blanking a page. Everything you've done in the template, I am undoing, but I will fullfill your request; and as one who is as good as Antonu (Yes, I am making that comparison), you don't know what a high-quality barnstar is, and you especially don't know how to properly award other editors. Jerium (talk) 00:36, 18 November 2023 (UTC) @Jerium: First, let me say thank you for updating the alt image on the barnstar page. That looks even better than the one I hobbled together from your previous design. Very nice. As for the awarding process itself, my opinion is that it's between the giver and the recipient. It's not like it's a physical award sitting on their mantle. This, being a wiki, provides more options. If a rewarder sees a way to improve an award they've given, especially one they customized themselves, the edit button is just a click away. Likewise, if a recipient prefers the earlier version, they are welcome to revert. And if they don't, then perhaps that's an indication that they at least didn't mind the modification. Note, that I changed the look of the award, not the message content. Though, I wouldn't hesitate to fix a typo, or awkward wording, in the text of an award I've given. Regarding the other barnstar, let me ask some philosophical questions: What do lightbulbs have to do with outlines? Are you saying that we're stuck with a lightbulb representing outlines as a main award on the barnstar page forever? How did that happen? What's the procedure for getting it changed to something more relevant? No hard feelings here. Just scratching my head, wondering what can be done about it. No lightbulbs are going off, though. Except, maybe this one: Could you be talked into changing it to something that captures the essence of outlines? That way, you would still be the credited artiste, and I know you could come up with something mind blowing. You remind me of Penubag in that regard. (He created the medal for the World Developer Award). Last, but not least, is that we can always talk things over, and I'm glad you feel free to express your feelings. I look forward to our continued sharing of thoughts and ideas.    — The Transhumanist   00:58, 19 November 2023 (UTC) The lightbulb stays as it was the original upload. The new version also stays, so no one is taking a loss. It would be very difficult to get consensus to remove the newly updated barnstar, with the amount of effort I put in on quality, but I don't want to continue this discussion any further. Also, you're rude and insulting. We're done. Jerium (talk) 01:09, 19 November 2023 (UTC) Well, you are on my talk page, and you did add the "rude" comment after you wrote that you didn't want to continue, thus continuing. So, I'm going to take those as cues to respond... Then the light bulb stays. You met me half-way, which is willingness to compromise, and for that, I am grateful. And so, I guess I can do the same. It seems a bit quirky, but, we can adapt to the light bulb barnstar. I imagine the award's prose could go something like this: "I hereby award you this light bulb of excellence for creating such a wonderful outline and illuminating the world with its knowledge." Or maybe "Here is a light bulb to brighten your day, for creating such an illuminating outline." And this one: "You have illuminated minds like Edison illuminated the world. For this, you are awarded the outline light bulb!" Those work for me. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Thanks for the barnstar award designs.

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:30, 28 November 2023 (UTC) Looking for sources Hi Transhumanist, I would like to take you up on your offer and ask you if you could find a few independent reliable sources sufficient to establish notability of the organisation "Diving Equipment and Marketing Association", When I tried perplexity it threw back Wikipedia, even after I told it not to. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 09:33, 4 December 2023 (UTC) @Pbsouthwood: I ran into the same problem awhile back. Since it is a chatbot, which you can ask to do just about anything literary (so far, they haven't incorporated a robotic training data set into it, so it can't comply with requests to do physical things, yet), I asked it how to get it to return results without Wikipedia in them, and it instructed me to use "-site:en.wiki.x.io" in my prompts. I tried that, and it worked. I don't know if that is an ability that it adopted, or something they programmed into it. Keep in mind that the chatbot's data lake is the Web, and there is a growing body of know how on how to use ChatGPT (which is essentially what drives this thing). So, as time goes on, perplexity.ai becomes more and more of an expert on how to use itself. As users, we can ask it to tap into that. It's counterintuitive, but, sometimes it works wonders. I looked around for sources to establish notability for DEMA, and neither I nor perplexity could turn up anything of note. There is mention of DEMA commissioning a research study in Introductory Guide to Scuba Diver Species from University of Massachusetts Amherst, but I doubt that's enough to establish notability. (There's another source in there on DEMA—Buttner, C. (2007). DEMA and the public shouldn't mix. Published in Open Water Articles— but there's no copy of it online that I could find. It appears that DEMA's online footprint is primarily its own website.    — The Transhumanist   01:25, 7 December 2023 (UTC) Thanks TTH, I was aware of the Amherst paper, and agree – not enough. It is quite weird considering DEMA has had quite a large influence on recreational diving over several decades, and not always a good one. So it goes. The tip about "-site" is useful, and makes sense to a degree (that it works, not that it is explicitly needed), Anyway, thanks for trying, Wikipedia will just have to go without an article for now. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 04:24, 7 December 2023 (UTC) @Pbsouthwood: It looks like they've combined an AI back end with a conventional search engine front end.

It also includes the functionality of the following (also new) scripts: Attribution Notice Template Editor (ANTE) graphically modifies content attribution notices. It is the successor to User:Chlod/Scripts/CopiedTemplateEditor and supports more templates than {{copied}} ones. Infringement Assistant allows a user to hide sections of a page for suspected copyright violations and report the page to the appropriate Wikipedia:Copyright problems noticeboard. User:Elominius/gadget/diff arrow keys allows navigation between diffs with the arrow keys. It also has a version that requires holding Ctrl with the arrow key. Enterprisey diff-permalink-2 allows quickly copying wikilinks to diff and permalink pages from those pages, a variation of existing script User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink archiver is a fork of Σ's Archiver with several bugfixes. /parent-cats highlights categories that are a subcategory of a category already included in a page's categories. User:Guarapiranga/accessKeysCheatSheet adds an access key shortcut to display all shortcuts based on code provided by Nardog and NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh. User:HungKhanh0106/ProperDisplay loads a bunch of fonts to add correct rendering supports for "esoteric" languages. User:Jeeputer/highlightPiped will make piped links irresistible (or else). User:Jerome Frank Disciple/curlyfixer.js adds an WP:AutoEd function that straightens curly quotes per MOS. That's right! Such a module was only made in the 14th year of AutoEd's existence! Configure away! Frequently link to Wikipedia on your websites yet find generating CC-BY credits to be such a hassle? Say no more! User:Luke10.27/attribute will automatically do it for ya and copy the credit to yer clipboard. User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft, a spiritual successor (i.e. fork) to Evad37's script, with a few bugs solved, and a host of extra features like check-boxes for choosing draftification reasons, multi-contributor notification, and appropriate warnings based on last edit time. Nardog /CopyCodeBlock: one of the most important operations for any scripter and script-user is to copy and paste. This script adds a copy button in the top right of every code block (not to be confused with <code>) that will, well, copy it to your clipboard! /RCMuter: Hide specific users, perhaps User:MediaWiki message delivery, from the Watchlist and Recent Changes. /VitalTopicon makes you see the vital article topicon on WP:vital articles. m:User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AceForLuaDebugConsole.js adds the Ace editor (a.k.a. the editor you see when editing JS, CSS and Lua on Wikimedia wikis) to the Lua debug console. "In my opinion, whoever designed it to be a plain <textarea> needs to seriously reconsider their decision." Novem Linguae DraftCleaner fixes formatting of new articles. GANReviewTool quickly and easily closes good article nominations. ReviewStatus displays whether or not a mainspace page is marked as reviewed. SpeciesHelper tries to add the correct speciesbox, category, taxonbar, and stub template to species articles. User:Opencooper/svgReplace and Tol's fork replaces all rasterized SVGs with their original SVG codes for your loading pleasures. Tell us which one is better! User:Phlsph7/HighlightUnreferencedPassages adds a button to highlight all unreferenced paragraphs in reds, and can even do it automatically. Still hate Vector 2022's floating TOC? User:Phlsph7/UnfoldedNumberedTOC(Vector2022) might make you give it a try. Quite a bit of pages at Special:WantedCategories either exist now or got removed. User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/hideUnwantedCategories automatically hides those. User:SuperHamster's Wikipedia:Tools/View it! generates a gallery of images for a given subject on any Wikimedia project utilizing Structured Data on Commons. Images can then be added as needed. Terasail ArticleInfo displays page information at the top of the page, directly below the title. /HeaderIcons takes away the Vector 2022 user dropdown and replaces it with all of the icons within, top level, right next to the Watchlist. One less click away! There's also an alternate version that uses text links instead of icons. ...and any more, all available at WP:US/L. Due to budget and procrastination limitations, we've only had time to review the first ~39% of the scripts since last issue. Help us out here!

Regards -- Gor1995 𝄞 11:18, 19 January 2024 (UTC) New message to The Transhumanist Hey, I've been trying to pare down unhelpful short descriptions onsite, and I've definitely unset a lot of outlines. Apologies for this, I will stop doing so, and start putting the ones back that I removed. Also, I really appreciate your work at the WikiProject, and I've actually started Draft:Outline of Chinese characters as a result. Cheers! Remsense诉 05:55, 24 February 2024 (UTC) @Remsense: "Outline of" in the titles is just a format designation. It is not part of the subject of the article, which is what should be covered in the short description. The short description should briefly define the outline's topic. For example, describe "chess" rather than "Outline of chess". Therefore copying the short description of the corresponding root article works well.    — The Transhumanist   06:44, 13 April 2024 (UTC) I agree. I simply wanted to revert all the articles to their previous state before, rather than put my overzealous WP:SDNONE on them!

Uh-huh, we're finally covering the good ones among the rest! Aren't you excited? Remember to include a link in double brackets to the script's .js page when you install the script, so that we can see who uses the script in WhatLinksHere! The ScriptInstaller gadget automatically does this. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC) Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here! Featured script Making user scripts load faster by SD0001 is this month's featured script, which caches userscripts every day to eliminate the overhead caused by force-downloading the newest version of scripts every time you open a Wikipedia page. Despite being released in April 2021, our best script scouters have failed to locate it due to its omission from the US of L. For security reasons, the script only supports loading JavaScript pages. Newly maintained scripts After earthly attempts at improving the original have failed... Aaron Liu has created What redirects here from Guarapiranga/WhatRedirectsHere; his fork includes support for every MediaWiki wiki, corrected link positions, an access key, and some rudimentary translation. Ahecht has created a fork of SiBr4/TemplateSearch, which adds the "TP:" shortcut for "Template:" in the search box, and updated it to be compatible with Vector 2022. AquilaFasciata/goToTopFast is a much faster fork of the classic goToTop script that also adds compatibility for Minerva and Vector 2022. Mesidast/Tidy citations is a fork of Meteor sandwich yum/Tidy citations is a fork of Waldyrious/formatcitations. It configurably harmonizes whitespace and cleans up parameters in citation templates, descriptive edit summary included. Without caching. Each script takes 400–500ms. A particularly large script takes 1.11 s! Internet download speed is 50 Mbps. With caching enabled. Each script takes just 1-2 ms to load. Improve a script Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here! 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... ...a mark-as-read button and 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 A simple script to second or archive proposed deletions A script to auto-expand V22 ToC sections like this demo A WP:3O response tool that can automatically remove the relevant request from the 3O dashboard A byte filter to be split from Nux/LongTableFilters ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests New scripts DannyS712/AbuseFilterMessageLinks add links to the "warn" and "disallow" messages in edit filters. Diegodlh/Web2Cit/script adds an option to use m:Web2Cit (which WP:ProveIt also uses) instead of mw:Citoid to generate citations in the Visual Editor. Dragoniez/SuppressEnterInForm stops you from accidentally submitting anything due to pressing enter while in the smaller box, and works on almost anything... except the InputBox element itself, used in subscription lists and the Signpost Crossword! Oh, the humanity! Doǵu/Adiutor (pictured) provides a nice, integrated interface to do some twinkley tasks such as copyvio detection, CSD tagging, and viewing the most recent diff. Eejit43 has quite the aesthetically pleasing scripts, all made in TypeScript. /afcrc-helper is a replacement for the unmaintained Enterprisey/AFCRHS and processes Redirects for Creation and Categories for Creation requests. /ajax-undo stops the "undo" button from taking you to another page while providing a text box to provide a reason for the revert. /redirect-helper (pictured) adds a much better interface for editing and redirects, including categorization, for which valid categories are dictated by /redirect-helper.json. /rmtr-helper helps process technical requested moves without being able to actually move them. Guycn2/UserInfoPopup (pictured) adds a flyout after the watchlist star on userspace pages that displays the common information you might use about a user. Jeeputer/editCounter, under userspace, adds a portlet link to count your edits by namespace, put them in a table, and put that table in a hardcoded subpage, all in the background. Hilst/Scripts/sectionLinks converts all section links to use the § sign, which are known to be preferred over the ugly # by 99% of the devils I've met. Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable highlights phrases commonly used in spammed and POV'd paragraphs. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/FormattedEditRequest (pictured) generates a wikitext-formatted diff view of any changes you've made that you can copy and paste anywhere. PrimeHunter/Category source.js adds portlet links to tell you where a category for an article comes from and supports those from template transclusions. Qwerfjkl/massCFD creates mass WP:CfD nominations. Rublov/refspace highlights footnote spacing errors in red. Sophivorus's MiniEdit adds some nice, li'l buttons next to paragraphs to edit their wikitext with a minimal interface. Edit-listings Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks adds more and customizable links next to users in page history, logs, watchlist, recent changes, etc. Firefly/more-block-info optimizes the display of rangeblocks in contribution pages. Doesn't work outside the English locale of any wiki, unfortunately. Ingenuity/AbuseFilterContribs adds the edit filters that an edit tripped (if any) to a user's contributions page. Nardog/ExamineMore makes it so the paging at Special:AbuseFilter/examine actually works, pending a fix to T292764. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader makes paging links (e.g. older 50, 500, newest) load without refreshing and makes you realize how slow your internet actually is. Appearance-ricing Ahecht/RedirectID adds the redirect target to all redirects. For all the WP:NAVPOPS haters. (Do these exist?) Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal: Remember the "strike blocked usernames" gadget? Now you can use a red, dotted line to highlight rangeblocks and global locks! GhostInTheMachine/GraphicReplyLink replaces the [ reply ] link with 💬, which is some sort of rainy cloud I guess? Jonesey/common (pictured) has some styles to overhaul your Vector 2022 experience. It reduces padding everywhere, and makes the top bar animation faster. Aaron Liu/V22 is a fork that narrows the sidebars instead of upheaving them, reverts the January 2024 dropdown changes, and restores the old page-link color for links that don't go outside the current wiki. Nardog: SmartDiff is a spiritual successor to Enterprisey/fancy-diffs. It makes the page title part of links in diffs clickable, along with template and parser function calls. Unnamed parameters can be configured per template to also be linked. All links are styled based on the normal CSS classes of rendered links. Phlsph7/ClassicalTOC (Vector 2022) reinserts the inline table of contents to pages under Vector 2022. For the paranoid: Rublov/anonymize replaces your username at the top of the screen with the generic "User page" text. Remember, it is your duty to persuade everyone that editing is an honor. Sideswipe9th/Vector 2022 Floating Tools Menu moves the Page Tools menu to the left and makes it float along with the table of contents. Sm8ps/SectionEditing makes pressing Tab ↹ toggle the visibility of the tiny [ edit ] links next to section headings.. Not a great name, eh? The wub/tocExpandAll adds a button on top of the floating ToC to expand or collapse subheadings. Permissions required! Ahecht/potd-helper: A script to post the picture of the day. A powerful upgrade for your mop. Dragoniez /AjaxBlock provides a dialog box for easy input of reasons while blocking users. /Selective Rollback (pictured) provides a dialog box to customize rollback edit summaries and does them without reloading the page. Seriously, why doesn't MediaWiki already do this? Theleekycauldron/DYK promoter automates (nearly) all the work needed to post a DYK hook. QOL shortcuts BrandonXLF/SVGEditor lets you edit any file that is an SVG, straight from the file page. DanCherek/UAABotRemover adds a portlet link to enable a removal shortcut of faulty reports from Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention. DreamRimmer/BlankUserPage helps you destroy webhost-ers' hopes and dreams with a user-friendly dialog box. ESanders (WMF)/commentlinks.js adds a "link" button right after the "reply" button while the WMF struggles to reach feature parity with Convenient Discussions. Isaacl/copy-comment-link-to-clipboard does exactly what you'd think it does, but in Wikitext. FenrisAureus/SimpleStatus adds a shortcut at the top to edit your /Status subpage while providing a pre-made template. Fred Gandt/addCloneClearButtonAboveScributoConsole: What a mouthful! Yet all it does (no offense) is add another Clear button on top of the Lua module debug console. Guarapiranga/GlobalWatchlistLink adds a link to metawiki:Special:GlobalWatchlist next to the normal watchlist. Nardog PasteToCommons adds a paste handler to upload the pasted image to Wikimedia Commons. Unpipe tries to detect violations of WP:NOPIPE and fix them as much as possible. Ohconfucius/tometricunits automatically adds unit conversions of imperial units in brackets after their uses per MOS:UNITS. Suntooooth /flickrsearch adds a portlet link to search for uploadable flickr images about the subject. /randomincategory adds a portlet link when on Category pages to go to a random page in the current category. Vghfr/EasyTemplates adds a portlet link to automatically insert some of the most common inline {{fix}} templates. Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks.

Panini! • 🥪 23:59, 2 June 2024 (UTC) Parsing of trancluded pages Hi TTH, If a content page is transcluded without any parameters, is the wikicode of the transcluded page parsed during the transclusion, or is the already generated cached html just copied over? I suspect the former, but don't really know why it should necessarily be that way. I have a vague feeling there would be things like the ToC that would not work properly and would require the parser to work through the transcuded page's code. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 13:40, 16 June 2024 (UTC) @Pbsouthwood: As I understand it, Wikiedia's servers parse wiki text as follows: everything that needs to be expanded is done first, then lua modules are performed, then the resulting wiki text is translated into HTML. That's why the TOC works properly even when there are transcluded pages. There may be some HTML processing after that, but I'm not sure what (inserting files?). I don't know where this stuff is explained, but someone at WP:VPT surely does. MediaWiki's parser is explained at mw:Manual:Parser, and may provide some insight, but Wikipedia's configuration is much more complex, including hundreds of extensions. I hope this helps.

There's so many, them forks have got what's basically their own column now! gift us with some rows before it's too late Aaron Liu (talk) 04:01, 1 August 2024 (UTC) Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here! Featured script inline-diff-inline-patrol by Ponor is this edition's featured script. By loading diffs inline on every page that shows a list of changes, it implements the 2023 community wish m:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Admins and patrollers/Inline diffs and inline patrol. Hopefully we won't need this script anymore soon, with the WMF's focus on the backlog...

Scripts++ Newsletter Updated scripts After the ＲＩＩＪ(rewrite it in jQuery) update, Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin has a dismiss button that allows you to mark an item as read in one click and cycle to the next Watchlist item. Lordseriouspig/StatusChangerImproved is just like Enterprisey's script, except you select your status from a dropdown instead of cycling through them with a button. The WMF operates out of car-centric infrastructure anyway. Shame! Newly maintained scripts Aaron Liu has created Duplinks from Evad37/duplinks-alt; his fork adds a config variable to automatically highlight duplicate links on the loading of any page where the portlet link would've appeared. BilledMammal/Move+ expands the powers of User:TheTVExpert/rmCloser to include common procedures done with the art of moving pages. On a holiday? Somewhere? Gotta learn ye ABCs? CanonNi/StatusSetter puts the fun into Enterprisey/StatusChanger with a quadruple more statuses. That starts with a C! In our continuing trend(s?), DaxServer/DiscussionCloser forks DannyS712/DiscussionCloser to make it work. Sadly, this is the end of our lexicographic combo. Andrybak: user-tabs-on-contribs is a fork of User:Enterprisey/user-tabs-on-contribs for Vector 2022. Archiver is a fork of User:Enterprisey/archiver with automatic calculation of the destination archive subpage and with support for non-Vector skins. Quite coincidentally, Elli/OneClickArchiver has been forked from User:Equazcion/OneClickArchiver to work with the mw:Heading HTML changes. FlightTime/OneClickArchiver forks the same thing but also no longer nonsensically prepends {{clear}} to page archives. There are now over 7 OneClickArchivers, legacy or not. New scripts Padlock for semi−move protection−designed by User:Chaotic Enby Aaron Liu: MoveTop adds a different padlock topicon for each level of move-protection. Andrybak/Not around can help you mark talk pages of inactive users with {{not around}}. BrandonXLF/AddCopied automatically tags talk pages of pages you've copied between with {{copied}}. Bugghost/UserRoleIndicator adds text labels (which default to emoji) to user links that label the user's usergroups. Wow, that's a mouthful CanonNi/AlertAssistant adds a Twinkle-style dialog for alerting users about contentious topics. CFA/AttributeTranslation automatically tags articles translated from other places with appropriate attribution. In the defense of the 'pedia, the humble Jeeputer/defconIndicator adds the WP:WIKIDEFCON status to the toolbar. Tired of staring at a bunch of filtering text and waiting for darn filter logs to load? Msz2001/AbuseFilter analyzer can parse abuse filters into a visual syntax tree and evaluate locally on-demand! Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences finds references with the same link and displays the number of them along with a button to add the {{duplicated citations}} tag under the references section.

A fine example

Hi TTH, Just found a fine example of why annotations should be cited unless they are by annotated links. Take a look at Index of branches of science, lots of annotated redlinks with no refs, blue links with claims that don't hold up when checked, and redirects, which I have not even looked at yet. No refs in the lead, poorly defined scope. Talk page full of messages indicating confusion and disagreement with the content, mostly unanswered.
