== Easy Stubify ==

Can someone create a script similar to [[User:Where/easy db|this]] that adds a stubify tab to the top of articles? Preferably, it would include a pop-up box that asks which stub type, add a summary, then automatically click the preview button at the bottom.

== Quicklink ==

Is there a script that could let me click a link in the toolbox or make a tab that would bring me down to a user's sandbox?  If you really want to know why I want it I'll say, but it's embarrassing...

:As a one-liner, you could use the following:
<syntaxhighlight lang='javascript'>
addPortletLink ('p-tb', location.href+'/Sandbox', 'Sandbox subpage');

*Bounty claimed, task fulfilled!
|}

I'd like to request a script that would add a tab (or some other button) that could watchlist all images (and maybe templates) used in an article. A lot of images go unwatched for many articles. It would be great to be able to watchlist all of the images in an article in one click. -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 05:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

:I do not work with images, but as far as I know, you will not see deletions or new versions uploads in your watchlist. You will only be notified when someone changes the image description. Also, there doesn't seem to be a way for a script to add a Commons image to your watchlist. Adding templates to your watchlist is possible, however they might include other templates which are still not going to be watched by you ∴ [[User:Alex Smotrov|AlexSm]] 17:30, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

::Yeah, I figured as much. While rare, I have seen some cases of image description page vandalism, and some test edits that have removed image tags and such. Deletion notices would also trigger the watchlist, as well as anything posted on the talk page. Most people probably wouldn't have a use for it, but it's something I've always kind of wanted. -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 07:23, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

:::Another poke, would this even be possible? -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 07:39, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

:Should work, may be a bit buggy. Creates a textarea in your contentSub that you can copy to your raw watchlist. Someone else can create a queued ajax system that checks to make sure each template exists and each image is local and not on commons. --[[User:Splarka|Splarka]] ([[User_talk:Splarka|rant]]) 10:19, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

::Awesome, thanks! -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 06:27, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

:MZMcBride and I had a thought on how you (or rather, whoever writes this) could check the list of images, for if they were local images or not with an intermediary api call. For example if you had [[:Image:Wiki.png]] and [[:Image:Bullet-blue.png]] as images in a page, an API call like:
<pre>/w/api.php?action=parse&format=json&callback=imagecommonscheck&text=[[:Image:Wiki.png]]+[[:Image:Bullet-blue.png]]</pre>
:and then a snippit to check it
<pre>
function imagecommonscheck(obj) {
  var imagecheck = obj['parse'].links;
  for(var i=0;i<imagecheck.length;i++) {
    if(imagecheck[i].exists) {
      //this is only true if the image is not on commons, title is: imagecheck[i]['*']
    }
  }
}
</pre>
:--[[User:Splarka|Splarka]] ([[User_talk:Splarka|rant]]) 07:39, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
::I think a better way to do this is using imageinfo:
<pre>/w/api.php?action=query&format=jsonfm&titles=Image:Albert%20Einstein%20Head.jpg|Image:Hitler_with_other_German_soldiers.jpg&prop=imageinfo</pre>

To verify:

<pre>
function imagecommonscheck(obj) {
  var imagecheck = obj['query']['pages'];
  for(var i=0;i<imagecheck.length;i++) {
    if(imagecheck[i]['imagerepository'] == "local") {
      //this is only true if the image is not on commons, title is: imagecheck[i]['*']
    }
  }
}
</pre>

::Not yet tested. [[User:Superm401|Superm401]] - [[User_talk:Superm401|Talk]] 08:35, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Two new incentives for continued work on this request: one is that MediaWiki has been updated and deletions now show up on the watchlist, and two, I've doubled the bounty on this request from $20 to $40. -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 03:29, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
:And new versions of images too. Also, if it makes it easier, a script that works with just images and not templates would be sufficient for this request. -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 05:53, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Test this out: [[User:Splarka/watchimages.js]]. It is not fully automated though. What it does:
* On a content page, it adds a toolbox button.
* If clicked it queries the API for all images.
* It checks which are local vs commons, which exist, which have description pages.
* Currently selects local or missing images (with or without pages) not on commons.
* Sends you to Special:Watchlist/raw with the pages as a URI parameter
* Appends these to the textarea, alerts you.
* You then either choose to update, edit, or do nothing. 
* Upon save, it returns you to the page.
Of course, it could be streamlined a bit more. It could be automated, have more logic (check if page has images, check if images are repeats on watchlist, filter out logos, etc). Also, it specifically does not use ajax at this time (ajax POST is annoying), but should be good enough to test. --[[User:Splarka|Splarka]] ([[User_talk:Splarka|rant]]) 06:48, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

::Awesome! Even this alone is a huge help, and is probably enough to make claim to the donation bounty. Thanks Splarka! -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 03:32, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
:::A part of the bounty process is to credit those who worked on the task (the bounty hunters). Here's what I have for the donation public comment "<code>en:WP:BOUNTY on image watchlist user script en:user:Splarka/watchimages.js . Major thanks to en:user:Splarka ! Also thanks to en:user: MZMcBride, Superm401, and AlexSm, in discussion.</code>"'' 
:::Obviously Splarka is in there, and since there was room I also included all the names in this thread. Are there any names I should add or remove? -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 03:48, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Well, I went ahead and made the donation, though I was hopping to link to the public comment, I can't seem to figure out how (or where it is displayed). In any case, thank you again for the work on this, and I look forward to seeing how the script develops :D -- [[User:Ned Scott|Ned Scott]] 07:53, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

== Quickly add a new category ==

I am requesting a script that would add a link when viewing an article. When clicked on, it will show a JavaScript prompt, requesting for a Category to add to the current article; when one is entered and OK is hit, then the category will be added to the article. [[User:Gary King|Gary King]] ([[User talk:Gary King|talk]]) 07:02, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
:[[User:ais523/cattab.js]] is a start at this. It works, but it's a bit rudimentary; it always puts the category at the start of the article's category list (or at the end of the article if it doesn't have a category list), and doesn't handle sortkeys. --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 12:59, 25 February 2008 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])

== highlight links to disambiguation ("dab") page ==

Links to redirects are faintly annoying, but links to dab pages are  a fatal error. Anybody wanna do this? [[User:Ling.Nut|Ling.Nut]] ([[User talk:Ling.Nut|talk]]) 15:36, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
:See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation]]. Fixing disambig links is usually not a task that can be handled automatically, and there are no JavaScript tools that I know of which can assist in fixing links (although some programs can do this, notably [[WP:AWB|AWB]]). What specifically are you requesting: a script to highlight disambig links on a given page, a script to fix links to a given disambiguation page (e.g., those listed at [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/Maintenance]]), or something else? [[User:Gracenotes|<span style="color:#960;">Grace</span><span style="color:#000;">notes</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Gracenotes|<span style="color:#960;">T</span>]]</sup> <span title="Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Requests">§</span> 01:09, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
::I'm asking for whatever is doable. :-) If a script can fix them, that would be best. If no script can fix them, then a script that merely hightlights them (not in green; the redirect script already uses that color) would be a huge step in a good direction. Thanks! [[User:Ling.Nut|Ling.Nut]] ([[User talk:Ling.Nut|talk]]) 10:56, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
:::See immediately above, and PS here note esp. that I'm looking to identify the links ''on a given article'' that go to dab pages. I think CorHomo already has the ability to fix ''the list of articles that link to a given dab page''. I also think [[WP:AWB]] has only that same ability, am I correct? But if you have a long article... find dab links could be very tedious.. [[User:Ling.Nut|Ling.Nut]] ([[User talk:Ling.Nut|talk]]) 11:02, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Not ''all'' links to disambiguation pages are invalid, although I will agree that many are. Anyway, just for fun, I wrote a disambiguation finder: [[User:Splarka/dabfinder.js]] ... note that it does take a few seconds for longer pages to make the necessary API calls. It is still rough, all it does is hilight them on the page for you, and alert you when done. It is rather complex code of several layers of iteration, but basically it: checks which templates are disambiguation templates, checks what links on the page link to pages that contain one of these templates, and then hilights all these matched links on the page itself. You can test it with <code>importScript('User:Splarka/dabfinder.js');</code> in your user js. Click on the portlet link in the toolbox (on any content page), and then wait a few seconds. --[[User:Splarka|Splarka]] ([[User_talk:Splarka|rant]]) 10:33, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
(undent) Thanks! I tested it out on a couple articles, and it seems to do a great job of catching different types of dab page templates. A million thanks! [[User:Ling.Nut|Ling.Nut]] ([[User talk:Ling.Nut|talk]]) 13:18, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

== Categorizing links ==

===Hiding categorized links===
After visiting a Wikipedia link, that link changes color from blue to purple on my computer screen. To tag pages with categories, I've been opening all the pages at [[:Category:NA-Class articles]], for example, to turn the links purple. Then I use the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&from=Non-article&namespace=14 All pages with prefix]. Those pages for which the link still is blue need a Category:NA-Class category tag. It takes a lot of time to initially open all the pages within a particular category to turn the link from blue to purple. Is there a way to change the colors of the links in [[:Category:NA-Class articles]] as the appear on my computer screen without having to visit each of the links? I tried editing my temporary internet file (browser history) and tried using the 'Print all linked documents' option of windows print feature to printing to a file (that I then deleted). I wasn't able to edit my temporary internet file (browser history) and the 'Print all linked documents' option didn't result in making the category links purple. Can you create me a script that causes all the links on a page (e.g. [[:Category:NA-Class articles]]) to change color to show that I visited the page (without actually opening the linked page)? I am open to other methods as well. Thanks. [[User:GregManninLB|GregManninLB]] ([[User talk:GregManninLB|talk]]) 16:10, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
:If I understand correctly, you need to exclude members of the 1st list form the 2nd list. I suggest using "other methods", which in this case is supposed to look like this:
:* you open [[Special:PrefixIndex/Category:Non-article]]
:* you start the script
:* the script asks you for a category name, you enter «NA-Class articles»
:* script [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=categorymembers&cmtitle=Category:NA-Class%20articles queries API] to get all category members
:* script hides all returned titles from the current page
:Splarka sure can do it, or I could do it if he doesn't have time at the moment. Let's wait for his answer then. —[[User:Alex Smotrov|AlexSm]] 16:50, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

::Someone called my name? Hmm. I think this does what AlexSm described: [[User:Splarka/cmlhider.js]] ... Not highly tested, and rather highly specific, and it is '''very''' slow, you may think your browser is locked up (takes about 10 seconds on mine for 227 category members * 559 links). But give it a shot. You can copy it to your [[Special:Mypage/monobook.js]] user js, or add: <code>importScript('User:Splarka/cmlhider.js');</code> to test it directly. --[[User:Splarka|Splarka]] ([[User_talk:Splarka|rant]]) 09:12, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Hi Splarka. I added User:Splarka/cmlhider.js to my [[User:GregManninLB/monobook.js|monobook]]. I logged off and then logged back in. I then opened [[Special:PrefixIndex/Category:Non-article]]. However, [[Special:PrefixIndex/Category:Non-article]] still is displaying those categories already tagged with [[:Category:NA-Class articles]]. Got any idea where I messed up? [[User:GregManninLB|GregManninLB]] ([[User talk:GregManninLB|talk]]) 15:09, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
::::You're supposed to click on a new link «Hide links» on the left (in the «toolbox» portlet) to actually start the script. To Splarka: 1) should have used «p-cactions»; 2) how about <code>categorymembers ... join('|')</code> and then using indexOf? might speed things up a little. —[[User:Alex Smotrov|AlexSm]] 15:24, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::Thanks for the tip (which fixed my problem). I then tagged all the pages. However, even after clicking on the new link «Hide links» to excluded [[:Category:NA-Class articles]] categories, [[Special:PrefixIndex/Category:Non-article]] still is displaying a few stubborn categories tagged with [[:Category:NA-Class articles]]. Is it possible to tweek the script to exclude these as well? [[User:GregManninLB|GregManninLB]] ([[User talk:GregManninLB|talk]]) 20:35, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::Probably have to wait for the job queue to catch up. Modifying category lists isn't always instantaneous. Not my script's fault if categorymembers isn't totally up to date ^_^. --[[User:Splarka|Splarka]] ([[User_talk:Splarka|rant]]) 07:36, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

===Catgory text string index===
[[Special:PrefixIndex]] allows a user to display pages beginning with a particular prefix, such as categories beginning with "Non-article". Is there a way ( would you write me a script) to display pages ''containing'' a particular text string, such as categories containing "Non-article". This would allow me to find categories such as [[:Category:WikiProject Biography non-article pages]] where "non-article" appears other than at the beginning of the category name. Thanks. [[User:GregManninLB|GregManninLB]] ([[User talk:GregManninLB|talk]]) 07:02, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
