This script is used to easily alert users about contentious topics. It uses the {{Alert}} and {{Alert/first}} templates. For UI, it previously used Morebits (Twinkle-like), but now uses OOUI (Mediawiki-like). Wow, such modern, very tool.
Installation instructions
Hint: It's much easier if you get ScriptInstaller, then navigate to User:CanonNi/Scripts/AlertAssistant.js and click "Install" at the top.
However, here's the manual method:
- Place
{{subst:iusc|User:CanonNi/Scripts/AlertAssistant.js}}on Special:MyPage/common.js or a skin-specific page, like Special:MyPage/vector.js. - Clear your cache and enjoy!
Usage
Note that the script will only load in the User talk: namespace.
To use the script:
- Click "Alert" in the Tools section on the right of your screen (Vector)
- Select the topic in the dropdown menu
- Choose whether to use {{Alert/first}} (intro) or {{Alert}} (alert)
- Click "send"
And that's it! Plain and simple. Feel free to test the script on User talk:Sandbox for user warnings.
