== Implementation for source editing mode ==

{{hping|Evad37}}I didn't realize that this script, and [[User:Ucucha/duplinks|the original]], only work in the [[WP:VisualEditor|VisualEditor]] until I read a [[User talk:Ucucha/duplinks#Not working 2|a post on the talk page]] to the original script. I don’t use the VisualEditor. Would it be possible to implement source editor support for this? I think this script is extremely useful, but I can’t use it since I only edit using the source editor.

::As it's long after this was posted, possibly not of great use to the original questioner, but probably worth putting on record. Last year, without having seen this earlier discussion, I described the usefulness of this script with the Visual Editor on the user page; it is ''much'' easier to remove duplicates this way than in edit mode. So, even if ''Interqwark'' uses the source editor for most purposes, it's worth using the visual editor for finding and fixing duplicate links.<br><br>There is one issue, either a quirk (if it can't be fixed) or a bug (if it can): when used with the visual editor, removing any link within a paragraph removes the highlight on all other duplicates ''within that paragraph''. Not a major issue, either remember all the links in a paragraph, or repeat the highlighting, but if it is easily fixed, I'd suggest that it's worth it.

== Feature request ==

Is there any way to set it so that it automatically runs when you load a page in mainspace, rather than needing to hit the button? I'll draft a line of code in a second, but I was wondering if that were a possibility to be included. Thanks, --[[User:DannyS712|DannyS712]] ([[User talk:DannyS712|talk]]) 03:14, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
:{{ping|Evad37}} Like:

<code>if (mw.config.get( 'wgNamespaceNumber' ) == 0)  run();

else var portletlink = mw.util.addPortletLink('p-tb', '#', 'Highlight duplicate links', 'ca-findduplicatelinks');</code>

:Thoughts? --[[User:DannyS712|DannyS712]] ([[User talk:DannyS712|talk]]) 03:18, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
::This should be possible to do as an option.

:::@[[User:Evad37|Evad37]] I've implemented this in [[User:Aaron Liu/sandbox.js]]. What do you think? Note that I made it so there's no toast (mw.notify) if the option to automatically highlight them is enabled. Should I change the option name for highlighting duplinks? It's currently autoDuplinks. Note that I've also replaced most <syntaxhighlight inline lang="js">var</syntaxhighlight>s with <syntaxhighlight inline lang="js>let</syntaxhighlight>s [[:User:Aaron Liu|<span style="color: rgb(6,69,173); text-decoration: inherit;">Aaron Liu</span>]] ([[User talk:Aaron Liu#top|talk]]) 21:19, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

== "ISBN" article links in refs ==

This tool detects links to the article [[ISBN]] in references as duplicates. Personally I would prefer if only the first entry in a reference list linked to that article, but it might be easier for now if the tool were configured to ignore links to [[ISBN]] within <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags, perhaps. [[User:Hl|—Hugh]] ([[User talk:Hl|talk]]) 03:34, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

== Request or suggestion ==
This tool shows duplicate links in a box. However, I would suggest or request that is there any way to highlight the duplicate links with yellow background while the first link with orange background. I think highlighting the links is far better than showing them in a box. Thank you.

:{{ping|Empire AS}} You can add custom styles to [[Special:MyPage/common.css|your common.css]] page, using like the following: <syntaxhighlight lang=css>
.duplicated-link { background:orange; border:0; }
.duplicate-link { background:yellow; border:0; }
</syntaxhighlight> The colour names {{tt|orange}} and {{tt|yellow}} can replace with any [[Web colors|Web color]] name (or hex triplet). - <u>'''[[User:Evad37|Evad]]''37'''''</u>&nbsp;<span style="font-size:95%;">&#91;[[d:w:User talk:Evad37|talk]]]</span> 08:04, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

== Suggestion ==

Hello! So my suggestion is to have the tool ignore <nowiki>{{citation needed}}</nowiki> templates. These usually aren't something where removing the duplicate link would need to be done (unless of course there's a lot of that template in the article in which case it just gets replaced with a maintenance template), and also removing the duplicate link from the template requires actually removing the template (unless there's a parameter which disables the link to the template that I"m not aware of). An example of this is on [[Mannheim Steamroller]]. ― [[User:Blaze The Wolf|<b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q">Blaze The Wolf</b>]][[User talk:Blaze The Wolf|<sup>Talk</sup>]]<sub title="Discord Username" style="position:relative;right:22q">Blaze Wolf#6545</sub> 19:10, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

== Not working? ==

Hello there @[[User:Evad37|Evad37]], I'm trying to use your script here, but not sure it's actually working the way it should.  Every single thing which is linked has a box around it.  So, I'm not sure why it is highlighting every single link instead of the repeated links? [[User:Coldstreamer20|Coldstreamer20]] ([[User talk:Coldstreamer20|talk]]) 17:18, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

== Query about odd glitch ==

G'day {{u|Evad37}}. Weird glitch with the script. It was working ok yesterday, but today when I click on it, it highlights ALL the links in the lead and repeats the lead and infobox below that. Each time I click on it it adds another lead and infobox... Very strange... On [[Uskok--class torpedo boat]].

:This has been happening to me as well. It seems to be particularly common on articles that have a topicon ([[Template:Good article]], [[Template:Featured article]], [[Template:Pp]], etc.), although that might just be a coïncidence. [[User:Extraordinary Writ|Extraordinary Writ]] ([[User talk:Extraordinary Writ|talk]]) 07:38, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
:{{u|Evad37}} same here ... it is duplicating the entire lead.  Like Extraordinary Writ says, happening on a featured article ([[Palladian architecture]]). [[User:SandyGeorgia|'''Sandy'''<span style="color: green;">Georgia</span>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]])  14:11, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

== Interface-protected edit request on 5 July 2022 ==
{{IPER|answered=yes}}
This is regarding the issue reported in [[#Query about odd glitch]] above. Would an int-admin be kind enough to make the fix suggested by NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh at [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Glitches on Featured and good articles when using scripts]]? Evad37 hasn't edited in several months, so it doesn't look like he'll be able to fix this anytime soon: this is a widely used script, so it'd be good to get this taken care of. Thanks in advance!

== glitch? ==

I'm trying to find some links that might be removed at [[Jack Smith (lawyer)]] and the script is telling me there are no duplicates, but I'm seeing at least two. [[User:Valereee|Valereee]] ([[User talk:Valereee|talk]]) 15:39, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

== Script detecting multiple "Citation needed" and other similar tags as duplicate links ==

Hi Evad37. If an article have multiple {{t|Citation needed}}, {{t|Better source needed}}, or other similar citation-related tags, the script detects them as duplicate links. Would you please fix/improve the script to ignore/bypass those tags? --[[User:Mann Mann|Mann Mann]] ([[User talk:Mann Mann|talk]]) 03:18, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

== No install button? ==

Can we make this work with the gadget for installing scripts, which displays the blue install button, instead of having one to edit their js pages?  <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Hanyangprofessor2|Piotrus at Hanyang]]&#124;[[User talk:Hanyangprofessor2|<span style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> reply here</span>]]</sub> 04:02, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

== Update for [[mw:Heading HTML changes]] ==

{{Edit fully-protected|answered=yes}}

As reported at [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Broken template in Vector 2010]], this script does not work correctly following the MediaWiki changes described at [[mw:Heading HTML changes]].

To fix it, it should be sufficient to replace this line: <syntaxhighlight lang="js">if (this.nodeName.toLowerCase() == 'h2') {</syntaxhighlight> with this: <syntaxhighlight lang="js">if ( $(this).is('h2, .mw-heading2') ) {</syntaxhighlight> I pinged the author, @[[User:Evad37|Evad37]], previously, but it seems they're not very active these days.
