Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 27

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 27th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 2025! Boy, does it feel good to kick off the year with an issue. Yep, it's been a year since we cleared out the 2022-2024 backlog with issues 23 and 24! Good times. Though in this case "a year" just means 4 months. 😃 Aaron Liu (talk) ~~~~

Featured script

Updated scripts

CanonNi: AlertAssistant has been fixed and rewritten using OOUI instead of Twinkle's Morebits. Such modern, very tool. (Do note that the maintainer has since become inactive.)
NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader has been updated to use modern JS APIs that replace the browser's URL bar with the link you clicked on to load in place. The "back" (and "forward") buttons also work now. Cool, innit?
My prayers have been... answered? DreamRimmer/Search sort is a fork of PrimeHunter/Search sort that makes the 11 portlet links much smaller and nicer to look at.

Newly maintained scripts

Cyberdog958/Superlinks finally fixes the famous Bradv/Superlinks to work with Vector 2022!

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.

Miscellaneous

New scripts

Appo/Globstory integrates OpenHistoryMap, updating the map whenever hovering/clicking on a location or year, the latter of which changes the map to be (hopefully) accurate to the year selected. It's pretty interesting.
Chaotic Enby/Recent Unblock Highlighter is the #1 WP:ROPE dispensary of the year. Admins exclusive, naturally.
Chew/HighlightQuotes: Makes all text between double quotes have a yellow background. Shiny.
DreamRimmer has been working at it with the state-of-the-art Vue.js mw:Codex UI lately!
- /CHUHelper and /EFFPRH reply to username-change and edit-filter requests, respectively.
- /DraftNoCat deactivates the categories on a draft article. Dogs are better, really.
- /EasySubpage (pictured) creates subpages... easily!
- TBanHelper warns you when your current page's title contains certain namespaces or keywords sternly.
Macaw*/noRefListAlert alerts you when the list of references is missing.
Polygnotus
- /DetectPromo is an interesting alternative to the classic Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable, though of course the word list is somewhat different, you'll see.
- User:Polygnotus/Scripts/WikiTextExpander expands shortcuts/whatever you want with whatever you want upon a selection and the click of a shortcut! So that to beginners, we're friendly.
Twineeea/noRedLinks brings you to the "read" instead of the "create" tab when you visit a red link. Contemplate life's mysteries as you stare into the blank! Deeply.
