== Undo any of your changes by double-clicking them in the preview window ==

Would it be possible to implement a feature similar to the one in AutoWikiBrowser, where you can preview your changes and then easily undo any of them by double-clicking in the preview window? I didn't see this feature available as a userscript. It would be very helpful, especially when using tools like [[Wikipedia:AutoEd]] for semi-automated editing, where multiple changes are made to a page and you sometimes need to quickly undo specific edits without having to scroll back and forth to the editing box. [[Special:Contributions/2001:14BA:9C40:0:B1BC:5F0A:4848:2904|2001:14BA:9C40:0:B1BC:5F0A:4848:2904]] ([[User talk:2001:14BA:9C40:0:B1BC:5F0A:4848:2904|talk]]) 22:27, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

== Easily add row headers to tables ==

For accessibility purposes (see [[WP:DTT]]), all tables should have "row headers". It is annoying to copy/paste <code>! scope="row" |</code> ''ad nauseam'' and a script to quickly add these to a selected column would be much appreciated. Thanks, <span style="color:#1E90FF;">Charlotte</span> ([[User:Queen of Hearts|<span style="color:#BC64E8;">Queen of Hearts</span>]] • [[User talk:Queen of Hearts|<span style="color:#FF1493;">talk</span>]]) 18:48, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

:God I wish. It's a constant need at [[WP:FLC]]. It'd be awesome to highlight a column in visual editor or something and click an "add row headers" button and it would add ! scope="row" for cells without a span and ! scope="rowgroup" for ones with one.

== Warn the user about unattributed translations ==

Algorithm:

# Run only in mainspace and draftspace
# Check the oldest 10 edit summaries of the article for the word "translat" (i.e. translation, translated, etc.), case insensitive.
# If 2 is present, check the wikicode of the talk page for the word "translat", case insensitive.
# If 2 is present and 3 is not present, display a warning at the top of the page that says "Warning: This article is likely an unattributed translation. Please consider adding {{t|Translated from}} to the talk page." If you'd like an example of how I usually display page warnings in my user scripts, see [[User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/DetectG4G5.js]], which displays a red bar at the top.

Would do myself but I'm a bit busy this month. Thanks in advance for any help. –[[User:Novem Linguae|<span style="color:blue">'''Novem Linguae'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Novem Linguae|talk]])</small> 08:32, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

== [[wikispecies:User:Rillke/createRedirects.js]] no longer working ==

Hello,

On Wikispecies, there is a user script created by [[commons:User:Rillke|Rillke]], [[wikispecies:User:Rillke/createRedirects.js]], which has not been functional for several months: [[wikispecies:Wikispecies:Village Pump/Archive 68#The script common.js]].

The script is used to create redirects to a given page. See for example [[wikispecies:Epipactis helleborine subsp. helleborine]]. When using the script, a first click on a toolbar link labeled "Create Redirects" highlights all potential redirects to be created; in this case, all the names in italics listed under the heading "Synonyms"  are highlighted (e.g., ''Serapias helleborine'' var. ''latifolia'', ''Cymbidium latifolium'', etc.). It is possible to deselect some of them by clicking on the highlighted names. A second click on the link will then create the redirects to [[wikispecies:Epipactis helleborine subsp. helleborine]].

Rillke was contacted, but they said they were "currently out of capacity" (see [[commons:User talk:Rillke/Discuss/2019#common.js]]).

When using the script, it no longer highlights potential redirects. Could someone help us understand why this script is no longer working? Thanks in advance, [[User:Korg|Korg]] ([[User talk:Korg|talk]]) 11:41, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

== [[User:Enterprisey/unblock-review]] ==

Would someone be interested in adopting this? Right now, there are only about 50 of us using it, but that's because it has a couple of unreliability issues. 
#Sometimes it just fails harmlessly, with no message to the user -- it just doesn't do anything at all. 
#Sometimes (pretty often) it fails slightly harmfully, putting the desired text in the wrong place (usually in a block notice where the example unblock request is presented). 
#It automatically submits the changed page, with no chance to preview. 

I'm thinking that the second problem has to do with a check for "tlx|unblock" failing -- a regex issue? something to do with "chunkFiftyCharactersWide" being a wrong "chunk"? The first problem just needs an informative popup, but it would be nice to actually fix that problem. The third, I imagine, is where the "postWithToken" occurs; both the "accept" and "decline" should do the same thing "Show preview" does, i.e., show a preview. 

I could study debugging scripting and all that, but I'd just as soon someone who already knows how do these (apparently) little things. [[User:Jpgordon|--jpgordon]]<sup><small>[[User talk:Jpgordon|&#x1d122;&#x1d106;&#x1D110;&#x1d107;]]</small></sup> 18:19, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Currently, there are two standard wikilink color options: blue if there is an article, and red if there is not. For those who wish to add this script, including myself, I would love to have a script that displays green wikilinks to denote Good Articles, and gold wikilinks to denote Featured Articles. The main purpose of this script would be to help users tell at a glance if an article has achieved one of these high status', without having to visit/click on the article. If not just for personal interest, this could be used to tell how close a topic is to becoming a Good or Featured Topic, and likewise to tell if a Good or Featured Topic should be delisted if a link suddenly loses its color.

The logistics and formatting for what this script could potentially look like can be found on [[metawiki:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Add preference option for green and yellow wikilinks to denote Good and Featured Articles]]. While this is still an active wishlist item, I was recommended on the proposals talk page to ask for this to become a script first. This is my first time doing this, but I'd love to see the creation of this by anyone willing to take up the project. Cheers!

== Customise  ==

I'm not sure how possible this is, but it would be really nice to have a user script which adds a new icon to the top toolbar (where one's username is, notifications, watchlist, etc.) which could be customized using custom images + a custom link which it leads t [[Special:Contributions/103.73.46.225|103.73.46.225]] ([[User talk:103.73.46.225|talk]]) 10:40, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

== Source assessing ==

[[User:DannyS712/SATG]] and [[User:Red-tailed hawk/SATG CORP.js]] also exist.

Can someone make a version that combines the functionality of automatically retrieving the sources, like [[User:Polygnotus/Scripts/SourceTable]] does, with a simple interface where you can judge them. It should be usable for both NCORP stuff and non-NCORP stuff. Bonus points if you can generate the code, close the popup, save the page and then edit it again and keep going where you left off judging sources.

== Interlanguage links converted from common bad styles ==

For [[Template:Interlanguage link]], I'd love to have a script that will check the page for the following two common bad styles of linking: 1) a regular external link to another wik as found for example here, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Blossom_(2024_Chinese_mainland_costume_web_drama)&oldid=1265134078 and] 2) stuff like [[:pl:Polska]] (often hidden under a pipe) and covert them to Ills. This shouldn't be that hard to code (I hope), but I am not seeing anything like that mentioned anywhere. Bonus for 1) thats might be harder to code  - check for shortened URLs; I've seen some newbies use them too.. <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> 13:10, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

== Alternating link colors ==

The basic idea I had is to alternate the colors of links in the body of a page. This will hopefully look pretty and also solve the problem of distinguishing adjacent links from a single link with a space in it. I made a script to do this, but it could be taken a lot further if anyone else is interested in playing around with it.

== Modifying [[Wikipedia:ProveIt|ProveIt]] for legal resources ==

== Enhance Backlinks.js to handle articles in Draft space  ==

Hello. Can someone take over [[User:Lourdes/Backlinks.js]], and make it work regardless whether one is in main or Draft space?

Inactive user {{user|Lourdes}} created this very handy (and very brief) script that adds a "Possible backlinks" link to the left toolbar which finds articles with possible backlinks for the current page. Works great in mainspace, but from a Draft, it creates a Cirrus search that uselessly targets draftspace, which articles will never do, so no results are returned. For example, for [[Draft:Free play]], it creates search link <span class=plainlinks><code>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=%22Draft%3AFree_play%22+-linksto%3ADraft%3AFree_play "Draft:Free_play" -linksto:Draft:Free_play]</code></span>, and that obviously won't work. Can you fix it by chopping off the 'Draft:' prefix from the generated search link so it does? 

As a possible additional enhancement, I think an added <code>-intitle:&lt;article name></code> term might possibly help refine the result set, as it eliminates articles right at the top of the search list that have the article name in the title of the search result. For example, compare these two searches:
* <span class=plainlinks><code>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=%22Free_play%22+-linksto%3AFree_play&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&fulltext=1 "Free_play" -linksto:Free_play]</code></span>
* <span class=plainlinks><code>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=%22Free_play%22+-linksto%3AFree_play+-intitle%3AFree_play&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&fulltext=1 "Free_play" -linksto:Free_play -intitle:Free_play]</code></span>
The second link eliminates five results, returning 527 instead of 532, but they were all sitting at the top of results in the first link, so less cruft to scroll past in the second link. Not sure if this is enough of an improvement to merit doing, or if there's a downside to it – perhaps it would eliminate some good articles in some cases? See what you think. If it's not a clear improvement, then just adding Draft space support to the script would be a big improvement. Thanks, [[User:Mathglot|Mathglot]] ([[User talk:Mathglot|talk]]) 20:31, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

== Adding custom buttons to VE and DiscussionTools ==

{{tracked|T390807}}
{{tracked|T391403}}

In the old WikiEditor it is pretty easy to define some [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiEditor/Toolbar_customization custom buttons].

I have made proof of concept scripts that load a JSON file with custom buttons, and allow using any image instead of just [https://doc.wikimedia.org/oojs-ui/master/demos/?page=icons&theme=wikimediaui&direction=ltr&platform=desktop these], both for VE and DiscussionTools.

For reasons beyond my understanding the WMF does not appear to be interested in actually providing this functionality.

I do not believe in JavaScript and I think it is morally wrong. Is there some JavaScript god here who can look at these proofs of concept and make something better (or less shit)?

I uploaded the code to Phabricator, links are on the right hand side. 

Ideally as much of the WikiEditor toolbar customization options as possible would be supported. Ideally there would also be a script to generate the JSON.

When using the 'Notify WikiProjects' function, and when notifying WikiProject New Zealand, an error occurs when a comment is left in the move discussion.

Is anyone able to fix the error and take on maintaining the script as BilledMammal hasn't edited in a number of months since the outcome of [[WP:ARBPIA5]]. <br>
Ps, if someone does take it on, forking from BilledMammal's version would be in my opinion preferable, as that version doesn't add pages to the watchlist.

== Reflist sorting and categorisation ==

Being able to sort reflists by their provenance, such as by URI or other identifier, would be very handy for managing citations. Tools like CiteHighlighter and UPSD are all well and good for seeing what has already been assessed as reliable or not, but to assess anything that those two say nothing about, collation would massively reduce the cognitive load of searching for URIs etc., as well as the risk of missing a citation.

Being able to apply a categorisation before the sorting is applied would also be a massive help, to sort – for example – sources that the editor deems reliable in context from ones that are unreliable.

Countless times I have googled [https://titlecaseconverter.com/ "Title Case Converter"], copy paste a string, press a button, marvel at result, copy paste a string. This should be easier. If you write the actual conversion function with AI it will get the edge cases, such as dealing with : and other things, and generate a suite of test cases.
