- paste your link into the editing window
- after space type the link name (if needed)
- press the button (see pic)
The script will automatically add brackets to form an external link and, if possible, will convert it into internal link:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ding this page|
→ [[:de:Ding|this page]]
Features
- While trying to convert the link into InterWikimedia link, the script will recognize all multilingual projects (Wikipedia, Wiktionary, etc.) and also Meta, MediaWiki, Commons and MediaZilla.
- URL from secure login browsing will be converted to normal link;
- URL will also be percent-decoded from %-sequences into normal chars:
http://…a%26b→http://…a&b- this is tremendously useful in non-Latin language projects where most URLs look like
%D1%EB%F3%E6…
- By selecting some text and then pressing the button you can simplify all URLs inside.
Installation
- English Wikipedia:
importScript('user:js/urldecoder.js')→ your monobook.js
- Other Wikimedia projects:
importScriptURI('http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=user:js/urldecoder.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript')
Localization
The script should work in all Wikimedia projects.
However, in non-English projects it has to make an extra API request each time to get the list of local namespaces. This is neccessary to correctly convert URLs into [[:File:X]] and [[:Category:X]] with leading colon.
Every time the script makes API request it displays the string with some code, for example for Polish Wikipedia:
urlDecoderNS = {'pl':'plik|kategoria|image|grafika'}
It is recommended that you add this code into your monobook.js in your local project. This will allow the script to avoid API requests and should save you some traffic.
Optional parameters
urlDecoderKey = 'c' //accesskey
urlDecoderIntLinks = true //also decode existing [[internal links]] in selected text
