The Attribution Notice Template Editor (ANTE, /ˈæn.ti/) allows users to graphically edit a talk page's attribution notice templates. It is the successor of CopiedTemplateEditor, which only handles {{copied}} templates. This is mainly for WikiProject Copyright Cleanup members who commonly deal with article splits, merges, copies, and etc., but can also be used by the general public.

The script currently supports the following templates (and their redirects):

• {{copied}}
• {{split article}}
• {{merged-from}}
• {{merged-to}}
• {{backwards copy}}
• {{translated page}}

Installation

ANTE is loaded as part of Deputy, but you can also install a standalone version without Deputy if you wish to save up on bandwidth. ANTE is significantly larger than CTE due to newly-implemented features and support, see below for a filesize comparison. Note that unless userscript loads are cached, the script will be re-downloaded on every page load. This shouldn't be much of a problem for most modern browsers as the gzipped file will be requested, making the file size significantly smaller.

File size comparison (as of August 8, 2022)

File	Size	Size (gzipped)
User:Chlod/Scripts/CopiedTemplateEditor-loader.js	5.41 kB	2.12 kB
User:Chlod/Scripts/CopiedTemplateEditor-core.js	77.6 kB	16.2 kB
User:Chlod/Scripts/Deputy/AttributionNoticeTemplateEditor.js	266.8 kB	45.8 kB

This does not include modules loaded from MediaWiki and additional requests made to Wikipedia to get page data, template previews, etc.

Standalone

To install the script, add this to your common.js file.

mw.loader.load( '/w/index.php?title=User:Chlod/Scripts/Deputy/AttributionNoticeTemplateEditor.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' ); // Backlink: [[User:Chlod/Scripts/Deputy/AttributionNoticeTemplateEditor.js]]

As of now, ANTE currently has no lightweight loader, unlike CTE. This is to be implemented later on.

Deputy

See User:Chlod/Scripts/Deputy § Installation for instructions on installing Deputy.

Usage

ANTE will append an "Attribution Notice Template Editor" toolbox link on your sidebar (Vector, Timeless). When clicked, the main dialog is shown, and options are provided for modifying existing or adding new attribution notice templates.
