19, Dec 2020
This month's featured script]] Enterprisey's script-installer, a gadget that makes it easier to install scripts, is this month's featured script
- Enterprisey's copy-section-link adds popups to section headers which has an appropriate wikilink and external link to the section.
- DannyS712's FindBlacklistEntry can be used to figure out which line(s) in either the local or global spamblacklist prevent a particular url from being added.
- Nardog's CodeEditorAssist allows customizing the code editor, including changing the color theme and enabling live autocompletion.
- Cobaltcigs's IllWill allows searches wikidata.org for foreign-language sitelinks, to populate {{ill}} and replace plain red links.
updates
- Evad37's MoveToDraft is now at version 2.5.1, with changes including:
- checks for move conflicts and better options if move fails
- the addition of {{Drafts moved from mainspace}} after moves
- updating the default move log and notification texts to be more in line with WP:DRAFTIFY
- Enterprisey's cv-revdel now handles failures more cleanly, including reporting failures caused by the spam blacklist.
- Bradv's Notepad.js script has been updated with new styles and a new launch button.
- A beta version of XFDcloser is available for testing, and brings a new user interface for dialogs and some preferences for customization.
==='Miscellaneous===
- The Watchlist Expiry feature worked on by the Community Tech team has been enabled on Wikipedia. For scripts that include watching or unwatching pages, developers may want to update their code to take advantage of the new functionality. See the documentation on mediawiki.org.
- As noted in the prior issue, Enterprisey's links-in-logs script has now been implemented as part of MediaWiki core. By my count, this is his third script that was replaced by implementing the code in MediaWiki core or an extension, along with link-section-edits and abusefilter-hide-search. Additionally, his reply-link script is being converted in part to mw:Extension:DiscussionTools. Are there any other scripts that might be worth integrating directly in MediaWiki? Thoughts would be welcome at Wikipedia talk:Scripts++.
