Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 26
Hello everyone, and welcome to the 26th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 August 2024. OPTIONAL FLAVOR TEXT ~~~ ~~~~
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!
Featured script
- , by , is this edition's featured script. LONGER DESCRIPTION
Updated scripts
- Andrybak/Unsigned helper forks Anomie/unsignedhelper to add support for binary search, automatic edit summaries after generating the {{unsigned}} template, support for {{undated}}, and support for generating while syntax highlighting is on. It still doesn't include support for the 2017 wikitext editor or the visual editor.
Newly maintained scripts
- MOVED SCRIPT 1
Improve a script
- Many of our favorite scripts such as Fred Gandt/userResourceManager and Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
- Elominius/media timer and PrimeHunter/Search sort work, yet have alien user interface design. Someone could improve them...
- BilledMammal/Move+ needs updating to order list of pages handle lists of pages to move correctly regardless of the discussion's page, so that we may avoid repeating fiasco history.
Requested scripts
- PENDING REQUEST 1
- ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests
Miscellaneous
- Doğu/Adiutor, a Twinkle/RedWarn-like userscript that follows modern WMF UI design, is now an extension. However, it needs mw:code stewardship (among some audits) to be installed on your favorite WMF wikis.
- DannyS712, our former chief editor, has ascended to MediaWiki and the
greenerpurpley pastures of PHP with a commit for Phab:T184633 that adds the__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__magic word to exclude a template from Special:UnusedTemplates! I wonder if Wikipedia has a templaters' newsletter...
