  • The script to create buttons on these pages, which on use will begin relevant searches to determine which new pages listed remain unpatrolled, and highlight those references/page-links.

  • Creates a discrete graphical user interface utilizing intuitive drag-and-drop to manage your user scripts and stylesheets. i.e.

1. Switch resources (scripts or stylesheets) on/off without editing your common.js or any other page(s).
2. Temporarily include resources with a simple click and confirm.
3. Add/remove resources easily with button clicks and/or text entry etc.

• Additional benefits of a more technical nature including caching of select resources on a per session basis to reduce API calls, and the inclusion of a library (also in development) of functions made available to the managed resources. Early days, but showing promise! :-)

These functions can be included directly in a script but don't do anything unless called by some other code. The functions marked as deprecated have been rendered obsolete by new features added to MediaWiki, and only exist now as wrappers for compatibility with existing code.

Snippets

The following code snippets still exist under the now defunct WikiProject User scripts. Many are still in use by live scripts, and they may provide insights for current script developers.

Stylesheets

CSS code in this section is added slightly differently to JavaScript code. The code can be imported by adding {{subst:css|Page_name}} to your monobook.js, or the code can be @imported into your monobook.css. You can just paste the source code if you do not wish to receive updates to the code when it is improved.
