Dubious linkclassifier feature requests

This is not a request for help; these are just notes to myself.

These are dubious because I need to read the source code more carefully to decide whether they're feasible enough to be worth mentioning on the relevant talk page.

Check whether each redlink has a nonempty deletion log — NB: User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/deletionFinder.js (dubious: it operates on pages, like sysopdetector, rather than on links)
Check for Category:All articles with topics of unclear notability (or any of the other categories that could be applied by {{notability}})
Retrieve latest move log entry, if it exists
Merge with unattributed image finder — the structure of the code looks quite similar, but there are some key differences in the API query etc.
~~Detect deceased Wikipedians — wontfix? better~~ done in markblocked (scraping the block reason) because there is no category used for this purpose

The reason I haven't installed sysopdetector is that it might clash with markblocked. Thus, I may as well write my own script that combines the functionality of linkclassifier with markblocked and sysopdetector. Note that sysopdetector is intended to work on user pages, whereas the other scripts operate on links.

The markblocked enhancement will be at User:SoledadKabocha/markBlockedPlus.js. The linkclassifier enhancement ~~will~~ ~~may be worked on at a later date~~ is located at User:SoledadKabocha/linkclassifier.js. Merging these two is beyond my JavaScript programming ability at this point. SoledadKabocha (talk) 17:21, 12 September 2012 (UTC) (last edit 21:38, 31 October 2012 (UTC))[reply]

TODO: Figure out why markBlockedPlus doesn't successfully modify tooltips when called from ajaxPreviewExec. SoledadKabocha (talk) 03:50, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Other TODOs

~~Figure out how to make the "Warn me when I leave an edit page with unsaved changes (Vector skin only)" user preference ignore the "Cancel" link but otherwise function normally~~ (initially wontfix, but I eventually wrote User:SoledadKabocha/betterCancel-vector.js)
Remove #mw-script-doc on user stylesheets without associated scripts nor documentation, such as User:Isarra/diffs.css; this is listed here because it requires JS coding / can't be done in CSS alone, and it is dubious whether it is worth the effort
~~Regex that does approximately the same job as the current sandbox test: var isPageSandbox = ( /[:\/][Ss]andbox(\/|_?\d*$)/.test( wgPageName ) );~~ (wontfix)
Fork User:Splarka/diffreveal.js so it can be triggered from a portlet link rather than automatically
Write User:SoledadKabocha/cleanArrows.js which replaces the entities ← and → with the proper characters ← and → respectively in the edit text box
