Hi, you tagged the above article for speedy deletion. You notified the creator of the page, but that isn't the editor who created the article as originally it was a redirect to something wholly unrelated. Could you please notify {{U|TapticInfo}} of the speedy? I'd like them to have an opportunity to contest the speedy. Thanks.--[[User:Bbb23|Bbb23]] ([[User talk:Bbb23|talk]]) 16:22, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

[[File:Green check.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Guideline and policy news'''

[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''
* The WMF is working on making it possible for administrators to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Community_configuration_2.0|edit MediaWiki configuration directly]]. This is similar to previous work on Special:EditGrowthConfig. A [[phab:T349757|technical RfC is running]] until November 08, where you can provide feedback.
* There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph/Plans#Roadmap|a proposed plan]] for re-enabling the Graph Extension. Feedback on this proposal [[mw:Extension_talk:Graph/Plans#c-PPelberg_(WMF)-20231020221600-Update:_20_October|is requested]].

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration'''
* Eligible editors are invited to self-nominate themselves from 12 November 2023 until 21 November 2023 to stand [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2023|in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections]].

* Following [[Special:PermanentLink/1179537633#Arbitration motion regarding the Prem Rawat case|a motion]], the contentious topic designation of ''Prem Rawat'' has been struck. Actions previously taken using this contentious topic designation are still in force.
* Following [[Special:PermanentLink/1180835750#Arbitration motion regarding Unused Contentious Topics|several motions]], multiple topic areas are no longer designated as a contentious topic. These contentious topic designations were from the ''Editor conduct in e-cigs articles'', ''Liancourt Rocks'', ''Longevity'', ''Medicine'', ''September 11 conspiracy theories'', and ''Shakespeare authorship question'' cases.
* Following [[Special:PermanentLink/1180835750#Arbitration motion regarding Unused Contentious Topics|a motion]], remedies 3.1 (All related articles under 1RR whenever the dispute over naming is concerned), 6 (Stalemate resolution) and 30 (Administrative supervision) of the ''Macedonia 2'' case have been rescinded.

The [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration|Wikipedia arbitration process]].

The [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Policy|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2023 election, please review [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2023/Candidates|the candidates]] and submit your choices on the '''[[Special:SecurePoll/vote/{{Arbitration Committee candidate/data|2023|poll}}|voting page]]'''.

[[File:Green check.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Guideline and policy news'''
* Following a [[Special:Permalink/1183144832#Are admins required to have notifications enabled?|talk page discussion]], the [[WP:ADMINACCT|Administrators' accountability policy]] has been updated to note that while it is considered best practice for administrators to have [[help:Notifications|notifications]] (pings) enabled, this is not mandatory. Administrators who do not use notifications are now strongly encouraged to indicate this on their user page.

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration'''
* Following [[Special:PermanentLink/1184642656#Arbitration motion regarding the extended confirmed restriction|a motion]], the [[WP:ECR|Extended Confirmed Restriction]] has been amended, removing the allowance for non-extended-confirmed editors to post constructive comments on the "Talk:" namespace. Now, non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace solely to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided that their actions are not disruptive.
* The Arbitration Committee has [[Special:PermanentLink/1184772491#Call for Checkusers and Oversighters|announced]] a call for Checkusers and Oversighters, stating that it will currently be accepting applications for CheckUser and/or Oversight permissions at any point in the year.
* [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2023#Election timeline|Eligible users]] are invited to '''[[Special:SecurePoll/vote/806|vote on candidates]]''' for the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee|Arbitration Committee]] until ''23:59 December 11, 2023 (UTC)''.

New year, new scripts. Welcome to the 23rd issue of the Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:Scripts++|Scripts++ Newsletter]], covering around 39% of our favorite new and updated user scripts since {{#formatdate:2021-12-24|dmy}}.  That’s right, we haven’t published in two years! Can you believe it? Did you miss us?

[[File:Farm-Fresh scripts text.png|20px|alt=Scripts]] <small>Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script [[Wikipedia talk:Scripts++|here]]!</small>

{{columns-start|num=3}}
=== [[File:Cscr-featured.svg|20px|alt=Featured script|This month's featured script]] Featured script ===
: '''''[[User:Nardog/RefRenamer|RefRenamer]]''''' by '''[[User:Nardog|Nardog]]''' is this issue's featured script. For whatever reason, [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Status report 1#Named References in VE|the foundation will only give us better reference names]] in [[WP:VE|VisualEditor]] if we [[Wish (film)|wish]] for it in [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2024|the next survey]]. Nardog to the rescue! This script has a ton of options to satisfy almost anyone who wishes to use better refnames than [[WP:VECRUFT|":0" and ":418"]].

===[[File:Gnome-colors-view-refresh.svg|20px|alt=Updated scripts|Updated]] Updated scripts===
* [[User:Nardog|Nardog]]: [[User:Nardog/MoveHistory|MoveHistory]] can now look up the move history of any page from anywhere on the site.
* [[User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink]] now has a version that copies the Special:Diff link with square brackets.
* [[User:GhostInTheMachine/WatchlistTidy]] now moves the Active Filters panel to the right so that the Show/Hide button doesn't constantly jump.
* [[User:Alexander Davronov/HistoryHelper]] has now become stable with some bugfixes and features such as automatically highlighting potentially uncivil edit summaries and automatically pinging all the users selected.
* [[Wikipedia:AutoEd/unicodehex.js]] will no longer replace [[mw:Manual:$wgFragmentMode#Details|legacy MediaWiki dot-entities]] (dot followed by two uppercase alphanumeric characters) in article links, which caused several links to become broken.

{{column}}
[[File:RefRenamer screenshot.png|frameless|center|alt=Holy RefRenamer|Screenshot of RefRenamer, a user script that assists in replacing non-descriptive reference names]]
<br/>
[[File:Text-x-source.svg|frameless|upright=1.1|center|alt=Scripts++ Newsletter|Scripts++ Newsletter]]
{{column}}

===[[File:Ambox important.svg|20px]] Improve a script===
* Many of our favorite scripts such as [[User:Fred Gandt/userResourceManager]], [[User:Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts]] and [[User:Bradv/Scripts/Superlinks]] haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
* [[User:Elominius/gadget/media timer]] works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
* To a lesser extent, the same goes for [[User:PrimeHunter/Search sort.js]]. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
* We want...
:* ...a mark-as-read button for [[User:Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin|Watchlyst Greybar Unsin]]
:* ...a tool to automatically fix [[CAT:BROKENREF]]s, preferably a fork/addition to [[User:TheJJJunk/ARA]]
:* ...a fix/fork of [[User:DannyS712/SectionRemover.js]] to make it work

===[[File:1009Clock.jpg|20px|alt=Pending requests]] Requested scripts===
* A [[WP:3O]] requesting and responding tool, similar to [[WP:ERT|Terasil's classic edit request tool]]
* A "bytes removed"/"added" filter on the user contribs page
* A review tool for [[WP:proposed deletion]]s
* Mass patrol new pages by a user for use in [[WP:RFP/A]]
* ...and many more, all available at [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests]]

{{columns-end}}

===[[File:Gnome-colors-list-add.svg|20px|alt=New scripts|New]] New scripts===
* [[User:Aaron Liu|Aaron Liu]]: [[User:Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin|Watchlyst Greybar Unsin]] is a rewrite of Ais's Watchlist Notifier with modern APIs and several new features such as not displaying watchlist items marked as seen (hence the name), not bolding diffs of unseen watchlist elements  which doesn’t work properly anyways, displaying the rendered edit summary, proper display of log and creation actions and more links.
* [[User:Alexis Jazz|Alexis Jazz]]: [[User:Alexis Jazz/Factotum|Factotum]] is a spiritual successor to reply-link with a host of extra features like section adding, link rewriting, regular expressions and more.
* [[User:Aveaoz/AutoMobileRedirect]]: This script will automatically redirect MobileFrontend (en.m.wikipedia) to normal Wikipedia. Unlike existing scripts, this one will actually check if your browser is mobile or not through its secret agent string, so you can stay logged in on mobile! Hooray screen estate!
* [[User:Chlod|Chlod]]:
** [[User:Chlod/Scripts/Deputy|Deputy]] is a first-of-its-kind copyright cleanup toolkit. It overrides the interface for [[Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations]] for easy case processing. It also includes the functionality of the following (also new) scripts:
*** [[User:Chlod/Scripts/Deputy/AttributionNoticeTemplateEditor|Attribution Notice Template Editor]] (ANTE) graphically modifies content attribution notices. It is the successor to [[User:Chlod/Scripts/CopiedTemplateEditor]] and supports more templates than {{T|copied}} ones.
*** [[User:Chlod/Scripts/Deputy/InfringementAssistant|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 {{key press|Ctrl}} with the arrow key.
* [[User:Enterprisey|Enterprisey]]
** [[User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink-2.js|diff-permalink-2]] allows quickly copying wikilinks to diff and permalink pages from those pages, a variation of existing script [[User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink]]
** [[User:Enterprisey/archiver|archiver]] is a fork of Σ's Archiver with several bugfixes.
** [[User:Enterprisey/parent-cats|/parent-cats]] highlights categories that are a subcategory of a category already included in a page's categories. 
* [[User:Guarapiranga/accessKeysCheatSheet]] adds an [[WP:access key|access key]] shortcut to display all shortcuts based on code provided by [[User:Nardog|Nardog]] and [[User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh|NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh]].
* [[User:HungKhanh0106/ProperDisplay]] loads a bunch of fonts to add correct [[Help:Multilingual support#Scripts|rendering support]]s for "esoteric" languages.
* [[User:Jeeputer/highlightPiped]] will make piped links [[Cerise (color)#Irresistible|irresistible]] (or [[Lists of colors|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! [[WP:AutoEd/Customization|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 [[User:Evad37|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.
* [[User:Nardog|Nardog]]
** [[User:Nardog/CopyCodeBlock|/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 <nowiki><code></nowiki>) that will, well, copy it to your clipboard!
** [[User:Nardog/RCMuter|/RCMuter]]: Hide specific users, perhaps [[User:MediaWiki message delivery]], from the Watchlist and Recent Changes.
** [[User:Nardog/VitalTopicon.js|/VitalTopicon]] makes you see the vital article topicon on [[WP:vital articles]].
* [[m:User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AceForLuaDebugConsole.js]] adds the [[Ace (editor)|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."
* [[User:Novem Linguae|Novem Linguae]]
** [[User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/DraftCleaner.js|DraftCleaner]] fixes formatting of new articles.
** [[User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/GANReviewTool|GANReviewTool]] quickly and easily closes good article nominations.
** [[User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/ReviewStatus|ReviewStatus]] displays whether or not a mainspace page is marked as reviewed.
** [[User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/SpeciesHelper|SpeciesHelper]] tries to add the correct speciesbox, category, taxonbar, and stub template to species articles.
* [[User:Opencooper/svgReplace]] and [[:m:User:Tol/RealSVG.js|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 [[WP:Vector 2022|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.
* [[User:Terasail|Terasail]]
** [[User:Terasail/ArticleInfo|ArticleInfo]] displays page information at the top of the page, directly below the title.
** [[User:Terasail/HeaderIcons|/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 [[User:Terasail/HeaderTextLinks|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 [[Special:Diff/1061928044/1189431990|scripts since last issue]].

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 24th issue of the Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:Scripts++|Scripts++ Newsletter]], covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since {{#formatdate:2021-12-24|dmy}}. 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. [[User:Aaron Liu|<span style="color:#0645ad">Aaron Liu</span>]] ([[User talk:Aaron Liu#top|talk]]) 01:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

[[File:Farm-Fresh scripts text.png|20px]] <small>Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script [[Wikipedia talk:Scripts++|here]]!</small>

{{columns-start|num=3}}
===[[File:Cscr-featured.svg|20px]] Featured script===
: '''[[User:SD0001/Making user scripts load faster|Making user scripts load faster]]''' by '''[[User:SD0001|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 [[WP:US/L|the US of L]]. For security reasons, the script only supports loading JavaScript pages.

===[[File:Farm-Fresh error go.png|20px]] Newly maintained scripts===
After earthly attempts at improving the original have failed...
* [[User:Aaron Liu|Aaron Liu]] has created [[m:User:Aaron Liu/What redirects here.js|What redirects here]] from [[User:Guarapiranga/WhatRedirectsHere.js|Guarapiranga/WhatRedirectsHere]]; {{their|Aaron Liu}} fork includes support for every MediaWiki wiki, corrected link positions, an access key, and some rudimentary translation.
* [[User:Ahecht|Ahecht]] has created [[User:Ahecht/Scripts/TemplateSearch|a fork]] of [[User:SiBr4/TemplateSearch.js|SiBr4/TemplateSearch]], which adds the "TP:" shortcut for "Template:" in the search box, and updated it to be compatible with Vector 2022.
* [[User:AquilaFasciata/goToTopFast.js|AquilaFasciata/goToTopFast]] is a much faster fork of the classic goToTop script that also adds compatibility for Minerva and Vector 2022.
* [[User:Mesidast/Tidy citations|Mesidast/Tidy citations]] is a fork of [[User:Meteor sandwich yum/Tidy citations|Meteor sandwich yum/Tidy citations]] is a fork of [[User:Waldyrious/formatcitations|Waldyrious/formatcitations]]. It configurably harmonizes whitespace and cleans up parameters in citation templates, descriptive edit summary included.

===[[File:Ambox important.svg|20px]] Improve a script===
Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here!
* Many of our favorite scripts such as [[User:Fred Gandt/userResourceManager|Fred Gandt/userResourceManager]], [[User:Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts|Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts]] and [[User:Bradv/Scripts/Superlinks|Bradv/Superlinks]] haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
* [[User:Elominius/gadget/media timer|Elominius/media timer]] works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
* To a lesser extent, the same goes for [[User:PrimeHunter/Search sort.js|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 [[User:Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin|Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin]]
:* ...a tool to automatically fix [[CAT:BROKENREF]]s, preferably a fork/addition to [[User:TheJJJunk/ARA|TheJJJunk/ARA]]
:* ...a fix/fork of [[User:DannyS712/SectionRemover.js|DannyS712/SectionRemover]] to make it work

===[[File:Ambox clock yellow.svg|20px]] Requested scripts===
* A simple script to second or archive [[WP:proposed deletion|proposed deletion]]s
* A script to auto-expand V22 ToC sections like [[:File:Automatically expanding sections in the TOC (Vector 2022).webm|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 [[:pl:User:Nux/LongTableFilters.js|Nux/LongTableFilters]]
* ...and many more, all available at [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests]]

{{columns-end}}

===[[File:Gnome-colors-list-add.svg|20px]] New scripts===
<!--The current convention is to use the [[Example/ScriptName]] notation for scripts added by someone other than the script author and [[Example]]: [[SciptName]] for scripts the author adds themselves. Of course, you are always free to ignore all rules.-->

*[[User:DannyS712/AbuseFilterMessageLinks.js|DannyS712/AbuseFilterMessageLinks]] add links to the "warn" and "disallow" messages in [[wp:edit filter|edit filter]]s.
*[[User:Diegodlh/Web2Cit/script|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.
*[[meta:User:Dragoniez/SuppressEnterInForm|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 [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2023-12-24/Crossword|the Signpost Crossword]]! Oh, the humanity!
*[[File:CopyVio detector, Adiutor.png|frameless|right]][[User:Doǵu/Adiutor|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.
*[[File:Eejit43's redirect-helper script demo.png|right|frameless]][[User:Eejit43|Eejit43]] has quite the aesthetically pleasing scripts, all made in [[TypeScript]].
**[[User:Eejit43/scripts/afcrc-helper|/afcrc-helper]] is a replacement for the unmaintained [[User:Enterprisey/AFCRHS|Enterprisey/AFCRHS]] and processes Redirects for Creation and Categories for Creation requests.
**[[User:Eejit43/scripts/ajax-undo|/ajax-undo]] stops the "undo" button from taking you to another page while providing a text box to provide a reason for the revert.
**[[User:Eejit43/scripts/redirect-helper|/redirect-helper]] ''(pictured)'' adds a much better interface for editing and redirects, including categorization, for which valid categories are dictated by [[User:Eejit43/scripts/redirect-helper.json|/redirect-helper.json]].
**[[User:Eejit43/scripts/rmtr-helper|/rmtr-helper]] helps process technical requested moves without being able to actually move them.
*[[File:User Info Popup screenshot 1.jpg|right|frameless]][[User:Guycn2/UserInfoPopup|Guycn2/UserInfoPopup]] ''(pictured)'' adds a flyout after the watchlist star on userspace pages that displays the common information you might use about a user.
*[[User:Jeeputer/editCounter|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.
*[[User:Hilst/Scripts/sectionLinks|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.
*[[User:Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable|Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable]] highlights phrases commonly used in spammed and POV'd paragraphs.
*[[File:FormattedEditRequest-in-work.png|frameless|right]][[User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/FormattedEditRequest|NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/FormattedEditRequest]] ''(pictured)'' generates a wikitext-formatted diff view of any changes you've made that you can copy and paste anywhere.
*[[User:PrimeHunter/Category source.js|PrimeHunter/Category source.js]] adds portlet links to tell you where a category for an article comes from and supports those from template transclusions.
*[[User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/massCFD|Qwerfjkl/massCFD]] creates mass [[WP:CfD]] nominations.
*[[User:Rublov/refspace|Rublov/refspace]] highlights footnote spacing errors in red.
*[[User:Sophivorus|Sophivorus]]'s [[mw:MiniEdit|MiniEdit]] adds some nice, li'l buttons next to paragraphs to edit their wikitext with a minimal interface.

====Edit-listings====
*[[meta:User:Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks|Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks]] adds more and customizable links next to users in page history, logs, watchlist, recent changes, etc.
*[[User:Firefly/more-block-info|Firefly/more-block-info]] optimizes the display of rangeblocks in contribution pages. Doesn't work outside the English locale of any wiki, unfortunately.
*[[User:Ingenuity/AbuseFilterContribs|Ingenuity/AbuseFilterContribs]] adds the edit filters that an edit tripped (if any) to a user's contributions page.
**[[User:Nardog/ExamineMore.js|Nardog/ExamineMore]] makes it so the paging at [[Special:AbuseFilter/examine]] actually works, pending a fix to {{Phab|T292764}}.
*[[User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader.js|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====
*[[User:Ahecht|Ahecht/RedirectID]] adds the redirect target to all redirects. For all the [[WP:NAVPOPS]] haters. (Do these exist?)
*[[meta:User:Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal|Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal]]: Remember the "strike blocked usernames" gadget? Now you can use a red, dotted line to highlight rangeblocks and global locks!
*[[User:GhostInTheMachine/GraphicReplyLink|GhostInTheMachine/GraphicReplyLink]] replaces the [ {{preload|Template talk:Signpost/Crossword cell|reply|User:Aaron Liu/insomnium}} ] link with 💬, which is some sort of rainy cloud I guess?{{jokes}}
*[[File:En.WP VPP Screen Shot 2024-01-13 with custom CSS.png|frameless|right]][[User:Jonesey95/common.css|Jonesey/common]] ''(pictured)'' has some styles to overhaul your Vector 2022 experience. It reduces padding everywhere, and makes the top bar animation faster.
**[[m:User:Aaron Liu/v22.css|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.
*[[User:Nardog/SmartDiff|Nardog: SmartDiff]] is a spiritual successor to [[User:Enterprisey/fancy-diffs|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.
*[[User:Phlsph7/ClassicalTOC(Vector2022)|Phlsph7/ClassicalTOC (Vector 2022)]] reinserts the inline table of contents to pages under Vector 2022.
*For the paranoid: [[User:Rublov/anonymize|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 [[WP:HOLIC|editing is an honor]].
*[[User:Sideswipe9th/V22FloatingToolsMenu|Sideswipe9th/Vector 2022 Floating Tools Menu]] moves the Page Tools menu to the left and makes it float along with the table of contents.
*[[User:Sm8ps/SectionEditing|Sm8ps/SectionEditing]] makes pressing {{key press|Tab}} toggle the visibility of the tiny [ {{preload|Template talk:Signpost/Crossword cell|edit|User:Aaron Liu/insomnium}} ] links next to section headings.. Not a great name, eh?
*[[User:The wub/tocExpandAll.js|The wub/tocExpandAll]] adds a button on top of the floating ToC to expand or collapse subheadings.

====Permissions required!====
*[[User:Ahecht/Scripts/potd-helper|Ahecht/potd-helper]]: A script to <em>post</em> the picture of the day. A powerful upgrade for your mop.
*[[File:Selective Rollback dialog.png|right|frameless]][[meta:User:Dragoniez|Dragoniez]]

**[[meta:User:Dragoniez/Selective Rollback|/Selective Rollback]] ''(pictured)'' provides a dialog box to customize [[wp:rollback|rollback]] edit summaries and does them without reloading the page. Seriously, why doesn't MediaWiki already do this?
*[[User:Theleekycauldron/DYK promoter|Theleekycauldron/DYK promoter]] automates (nearly) all the work needed to post a DYK hook.

====QOL shortcuts====

*[[User:BrandonXLF/SVGEditor|BrandonXLF/SVGEditor]] lets you edit any file that is an SVG, straight from the file page.
*[[User:DanCherek/UAABotRemover|DanCherek/UAABotRemover]] adds a portlet link to enable a removal shortcut of faulty reports from [[Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention]].
*[[User:DreamRimmer/BlankUserPage|DreamRimmer/BlankUserPage]] helps you destroy webhost-ers' hopes and dreams with a user-friendly dialog box.
*[[meta:User:ESanders (WMF)/commentlinks.js|ESanders (WMF)/commentlinks.js]] adds a "link" button right after the "reply" button while the WMF struggles to reach feature parity with [[commons:Special:MyLanguage/User:Jack who built the house/Convenient Discussions|Convenient Discussions]].
*[[User:Isaacl/script/copy-comment-link-to-clipboard|Isaacl/copy-comment-link-to-clipboard]] does exactly what you'd think it does, but in Wikitext.
* [[User:FenrisAureus/SimpleStatus|FenrisAureus/SimpleStatus]] adds a shortcut at the top to edit your /Status subpage while providing a pre-made template.
*[[User:Fred Gandt/addCloneClearButtonAboveScributoConsole.js|Fred Gandt/addCloneClearButtonAboveScributoConsole]]: What a mouthful! Yet all it does (no offense) is add another {{Button|Clear}} button on top of the Lua module debug console.
* [[User:Guarapiranga/GlobalWatchlistLink|Guarapiranga/GlobalWatchlistLink]] adds a link to [[metawiki:Special:GlobalWatchlist]] next to the normal watchlist.
*[[User:Nardog|Nardog]]
**[[User:Nardog/PasteToCommons|PasteToCommons]] adds a paste handler to upload the pasted image to Wikimedia Commons.
**[[User:Nardog/Unpipe.js|Unpipe]] tries to detect violations of [[WP:NOPIPE]] and fix them as much as possible.
*[[User:Ohconfucius/script/tometricunits|Ohconfucius/tometricunits]] automatically adds unit conversions of [[United States customary units|imperial units]] in brackets after their uses per [[MOS:UNITS]].
* [[User:Suntooooth|Suntooooth]]
** [[User:Suntooooth/flickrsearch.js|/flickrsearch]] adds a portlet link to search for uploadable flickr images about the subject.

* [[User:Vghfr/EasyTemplates/Easytemplates|Vghfr/EasyTemplates]] adds a portlet link to automatically insert some of the most common inline {{tl|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. See you in Summer, hopefully!

== Subscribe button ==

Thanks for your comments at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine]]. On most talk pages, there's a [subscribe] button for each ==Section==.  I suggest trying that out, so you'll get notified about new comments in that section even if people forget to ping you.  There's also a way to subscribe to new sections being created on a particular page (in the Tools menu).  I've found it very helpful for keeping track of pages that I don't check frequently.

Hi {{u|waddie96}}. I'm not following [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ICD-11&diff=1215024558 this edit] you made to [[ICD-11]]. Can you explain? Cheers, <span style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[User:Manifestation|Manifestation]] <small>([[User talk:Manifestation|talk]])</small></span> 10:39, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

:It’s an anchor for [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Borderline_personality_disorder&diff=prev&oldid=1215024383 this] {{tl|See also}} link.

::The section title is correct. Why would anyone change it? The name of the anchor tag you added, "Personality disorder", is the same as the name of the section header, <code><nowiki>====Personality disorder====</nowiki></code>. So this is currently redundant. Cheers, <span style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[User:Manifestation|Manifestation]] <small>([[User talk:Manifestation|talk]])</small></span> 15:33, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
:::What you say makes total sense and is logical, yes. But it could be made plural like in many other articles. Hence my changing it. To me [[WP:AINTBROKE|there’s no evidence of a real problem here]], so be bold and remove it if you feel so inclined. <span style="color:#CD0000">[[User:Waddie96|waddie96]] ★ ([[User talk:Waddie96|talk]])</span> 17:44, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
::::The title of the official ICD-11 category is "Personality disorder", singular. See [https://icd.who.int/browse/2024-01/mms/en#941859884 here]. Yes, someone could someday change it to the plural, or tweak the title some other way. But having an anchor tag underneath every header ever made on Wikipedia feels a bit excessive.
::::You know what would be cool? To have a broken section-link be colored <span style="color:darkorange;">orange</span>, instead of [[blue]] or [[SomeUnexistingPage|red]]. The software has internal lists of all pages, I assume? So how about more internal lists with all sections?
::::Then again, Wikipedia has no less than ''three'' bots checking section links: [[User:FrescoBot|FrescoBot]] <small>([[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/FrescoBot 4|BRFA]])</small>, [[User:Dexbot|Dexbot]] <small>([[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Dexbot|BRFA]])</small>, and [[User:Cewbot|Cewbot]] <small>([[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Cewbot 6|BRFA]])</small>.

At all. - <span style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[User:Manifestation|Manifestation]] <small>([[User talk:Manifestation|talk]])</small></span> 22:48, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
:::::I would not be fore: {{tpq|[…] having an anchor tag underneath every header ever made on Wikipedia feels a bit excessive.}}, I gave my reason why I put it there, you gave a reason not to, and I support it.
:::::This idea sounds great: {{quote|You know what would be cool? To have a broken section-link be colored orange, instead of [[blue]] or [[SomeUnexistingPage|red]]. The software has internal lists of all pages, I assume? So how about more internal lists with all sections?}}
:::::''Aside'': But I feel most may feel then disambigs should be purple, portals and non-EN-wiki pages other colours, so it goes on. And will probably hit you with [[WP:AINTBROKE]]. We are speaking here to come to consensus, let it not be known it is a Wiki-bicker that us wiki editors are so known for. Also, the colourblind may jump in and accessibility issues etc. and instructional creep or clutter creep.

== First step towards the goal ==

This:

<code><nowiki>[[User talk:{{subst:REVISION</nowiki>USER}}]]</code>

will produce a link to the editor's talk page.  I'm not sure how to put that into a template without it subst:ing straight into the template (and thus hard-coding a link to your own talk page in the template), but I believe there is a method for doing so.  Someone at [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)]] will know how to do this.
