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 ~~greener~~ purpley 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...
