== Roads fork  ==

I saw you were soliciting opinions on the roads fork and was wondering whether you're interested in mine. For context I am the "one person who is trying to destroy our entire side of Wikipedia just on the notability side" mentioned in the TikTok video. [[User:Horse Eye&#39;s Back|Horse Eye&#39;s Back]] ([[User talk:Horse Eye&#39;s Back|talk]]) 19:20, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

:@[[User:Horse Eye's Back|Horse Eye's Back]]: I am incredibly interested in speaking to you (wasn't aware you were involved at all). I definitely want to speak to you about this! Do you do Discord?

::I haven't messed around on Discord in years... Also kind of philosophically opposed to doing interviews about wiki off wiki, I take an Audrey Tang style [[radical transparency]] approach to wikipedia and for me in this semi-anonymous form that means conducting wiki business on wiki. The big takeaway for me from that TikTok video is that it seems like we've been talking past each other, I hope interviews and third party analysis can help us all understand what happened here, why it happened, why it was so acrimonious (the one thing we can all apparently agree on is that feelings on both sides have been hurt), and whether there is hope of reconciliation.

::::::The question I'm most interested in is whether people see this as two issues like the person in the TikTok video (there seems to be the presumption in the newsletter that everybody knows who this is but I don't) does or whether they see it as one issue. In the TikTok video they say that there are two issued here, sourcing and notability... IMO the sourcing discussion is a subset of the notability one, the issue isn't that we aren't allowed to use primary sources and newspapers its that primary sources and passing mentions in newspapers (which is all some roads have) don't count towards notability. The other question would be whether they also feel that the single word "typically" in [[WP:GEOROAD]] was the core of the dispute (note that in the video this generally vs typically conflict becomes ironically extremely clear). As for a message to pass on it would be that I understand that for them this was not an abstract policy discussion, I would be pissed too if I'd invested so many years into something only to have someone else question its value and I understand why all this outside pressure over the years has felt like other editors/the community at large questioning the value of roads articles. Thinking the project should have consistency across its topic areas doesn't mean that I'm not incredibly grateful for the contributions of those in the past, we stand on the shoulders of giants here no matter what topic area we edit (which I would note must not be very comfortable for the giant).

== Mike Johnson close ==

Greetings. With respect to your close on the Mike Johnson move, I understand your arguments, however, I do frankly disagree and was hoping to talk about it. For starters, you noted that "Enough people on both sides of the argument did state their prefered second choice was to move Mike Johnson (Louisiana politician) away from its current title into, at the very least, Mike Johnson (politician). Others suggested alternative disambiguations, but (politician) was easily the most prevalent."

This does not seem justified. By my count, only three people out of the more than 80 who responded voiced support for the title "Mike Johnson (politician)". It's not a vote, but that definitely doesn't strike me as consensus.

Additionally, in my view, you did not accurately represent the central arguments of the "Support" side. For instance, you pointed to one opposer's argument that the supporters based their arguments in WP:CRYSTALBALL. Obviously I'm biased as the nominator, but this does not seem accurate to me. The central argument of supporters was that he is already inherently notable by virtue of assuming this office. I know that that argument does not jibe with [[John Bell (Tennessee politician)]], but that article has received comparatively zero attention from editors, so this argument strikes me as WP:OTHERSTUFF.

Let me know your thoughts. I have not contested a close before so I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but I do take issue with the result in this instance. Best, [[User:Cpotisch|Cpotisch]] ([[User talk:Cpotisch|talk]]) 21:33, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

*{{Edit conflict}} For what it's worth, I voted "oppose" in this nomination, but I sort of agree with the nominator here. I think the discussion established that there is not necessarily consensus for any type of "[[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC]]"-ish disambiguator.

:With respect to my statements regarding whether {{tq|Mike Johnson (politician)}} was a fitting title, I probably could've done a better job clarifying that there wasn't a strong consensus for any specific disambiguator, so I just picked the one most people mentioned as their preference. 6 seperate people explicitly mentioned {{tq|(politician)}} as their choice while one person (Gråbergs Gråa Sång) was explicitly opposed to it. Though, upon re-reading things, I may have misinterpreted {{u|Steel1943}}'s comment {{tq|For what it's worth, I also oppose any disambiguator changes to the title, considering all other disambiguators suggested so far violate WP:PRECISE against "Louisiana politician" since the phrase "Louisiana politician" is not ambiguous in this case.}} That might have changed the decision a bit. I can amend the close to make it clear the move is based off weak consensus for {{tq|(politician)}} and a proper disambiguator can be discussed at a later date (if that would ease concerns).
:The only reason I didn't go with {{tq|(Speaker of the House)}} instead was the fact it had so many variations floating around. {{tq|(Speaker of the House)}}, {{tq|(speaker)}}, and {{tq|(U.S. House Speaker)}} were all in contention; but it wasn't clear which format was most prefered. Again, I figured it the desire was there, another requested move could be placed.
:As for the other concerns laid out by Cpotisch...
:So one of the confusing things about Wikipedia is terms have awfully specific meanings here. I don't think you mean to refer to [[WP:Notability]] but instead [[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC]]. Likewise, [[WP:OTHERSTUFF]] is an essay about whether we should delete something. It doesn't really makes sense to cite it here because [[WP:some stuff exists for a reason|some stuff exists for a reason]].
:The reason we refer to primary topics here is because the standards for what we consider primary topics are different than notability. The criteria for that include a topic's ''long-term significance'' (not just its current usage). If an argument is being made that a subject is primary with respect to long-term significance by virtue of the subject holding a given office, then a successful counterargument to that would be prior office holders who are not primary topics themselves. &#8211;<span style="font-family:CG Times, times">[[User:MJL|<span style="color:black">MJL</span>]]&thinsp;[[User talk:MJL|‐'''Talk'''‐]]<sup>[[User:MJL/P|☖]]</sup></span> 18:26, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

This is out of more than eighty who participated and more than fifty who supported the "Mike Johnson" title. It's not a vote, but something that >90% of participants never even discussed can't seriously be considered the result of consensus.

== Industrial agriculture arbitration case ==

This message has also been sent to ToBeFree.

At that arbitration case an editor, who I won't immediately name here but they are not an Involved Party, has in my opinion engaged in battleground behavior that includes bad-faith assumptions and aspersions. I can certainly provide multiple diff, but prior to doing that, could you tell me if there is a formal, within-case mechanism (perhaps in addition to notifying the clerks on their Talk pages) for reporting those concerns? Alternatively, do you suggest that I simply remain silent and let the arbitration committee consider, or not consider, such posts as they see fit?
Thanks for your help. [[User:JoJo Anthrax|JoJo Anthrax]] ([[User talk:JoJo Anthrax|talk]]) 15:15, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that [[Draft:Vito Castellano]], a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months [[WP:G13|may be deleted]], so if you wish to retain the page, please [[Special:EditPage/Draft:Vito Castellano|edit it]] again&#32;or [[WP:USERFY|request]] that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can [[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion/G13|request it be undeleted]] so you can continue working on it.

== Hi. Someone moved Mike Johnson back. ==

Hi MJL,

Someone moved Mike Johnson (politician) back to Mike Johnson (Louisiana politician). I tried moving it back, but it said the page "Mike Johnson (politician)" was already in use. Since you were the one that did the move in the first place can you fix it? Thanks. [[User:Alexysun|Alexysun]] ([[User talk:Alexysun|talk]]) 19:51, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

:@[[User:Alexysun|Alexysun]]: As [[User:Gråbergs Gråa Sång|Gråbergs Gråa Sång]] hinted at, my close was [[Wikipedia:Move_review/Log/2023 November#Mike Johnson (politician) (closed)|overturned]]. I brought it up [[Special:Permalink/1189781306#Mike Johnson (politician)|here]] to {{u|NmWTfs85lXusaybq}}, but I can't deny the response to my objection was reasonable.. even if it hurt my pride.

Welcome to the 23rd issue of the Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:Scripts++|Scripts++ Newsletter]], covering around 39% of our favorite new and updated user scripts since {{#formatdate:2021-12-24|dmy}}.  That’s right, we haven’t published in two years! Can you believe it? Did you miss us?

[[File:Farm-Fresh scripts text.png|20px|alt=Scripts]] <small>Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script [[Wikipedia talk:Scripts++|here]]!</small>

{{columns-start|num=3}}
=== [[File:Cscr-featured.svg|20px|alt=Featured script|This month's featured script]] Featured script ===
: '''''[[User:Nardog/RefRenamer|RefRenamer]]''''' by '''[[User:Nardog|Nardog]]''' is this issue's featured script. For whatever reason, [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Status report 1#Named References in VE|the foundation will only give us better reference names]] in [[WP:VE|VisualEditor]] if we [[Wish (film)|wish]] for it in [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2024|the next survey]]. Nardog to the rescue! This script has a ton of options to satisfy almost anyone who wishes to use better refnames than [[WP:VECRUFT|":0" and ":418"]].

===[[File:Gnome-colors-view-refresh.svg|20px|alt=Updated scripts|Updated]] Updated scripts===
* [[User:Nardog|Nardog]]: [[User:Nardog/MoveHistory|MoveHistory]] can now look up the move history of any page from anywhere on the site.
* [[User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink]] now has a version that copies the Special:Diff link with square brackets.
* [[User:GhostInTheMachine/WatchlistTidy]] now moves the Active Filters panel to the right so that the Show/Hide button doesn't constantly jump.
* [[User:Alexander Davronov/HistoryHelper]] has now become stable with some bugfixes and features such as automatically highlighting potentially uncivil edit summaries and automatically pinging all the users selected.
* [[Wikipedia:AutoEd/unicodehex.js]] will no longer replace [[mw:Manual:$wgFragmentMode#Details|legacy MediaWiki dot-entities]] (dot followed by two uppercase alphanumeric characters) in article links, which caused several links to become broken.

===[[File:Ambox important.svg|20px]] Improve a script===
* Many of our favorite scripts such as [[User:Fred Gandt/userResourceManager]], [[User:Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts]] and [[User:Bradv/Scripts/Superlinks]] haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
* [[User:Elominius/gadget/media timer]] works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
* To a lesser extent, the same goes for [[User:PrimeHunter/Search sort.js]]. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
* We want...
:* ...a mark-as-read button for [[User:Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin|Watchlyst Greybar Unsin]]
:* ...a tool to automatically fix [[CAT:BROKENREF]]s, preferably a fork/addition to [[User:TheJJJunk/ARA]]
:* ...a fix/fork of [[User:DannyS712/SectionRemover.js]] to make it work

===[[File:1009Clock.jpg|20px|alt=Pending requests]] Requested scripts===
* A [[WP:3O]] requesting and responding tool, similar to [[WP:ERT|Terasil's classic edit request tool]]
* A "bytes removed"/"added" filter on the user contribs page
* A review tool for [[WP:proposed deletion]]s
* Mass patrol new pages by a user for use in [[WP:RFP/A]]
* ...and many more, all available at [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests]]

{{columns-end}}

===[[File:Gnome-colors-list-add.svg|20px|alt=New scripts|New]] New scripts===
* [[User:Aaron Liu|Aaron Liu]]: [[User:Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin|Watchlyst Greybar Unsin]] is a rewrite of Ais's Watchlist Notifier with modern APIs and several new features such as not displaying watchlist items marked as seen (hence the name), not bolding diffs of unseen watchlist elements  which doesn’t work properly anyways, displaying the rendered edit summary, proper display of log and creation actions and more links.
* [[User:Alexis Jazz|Alexis Jazz]]: [[User:Alexis Jazz/Factotum|Factotum]] is a spiritual successor to reply-link with a host of extra features like section adding, link rewriting, regular expressions and more.
* [[User:Aveaoz/AutoMobileRedirect]]: This script will automatically redirect MobileFrontend (en.m.wikipedia) to normal Wikipedia. Unlike existing scripts, this one will actually check if your browser is mobile or not through its secret agent string, so you can stay logged in on mobile! Hooray screen estate!
* [[User:Chlod|Chlod]]:
** [[User:Chlod/Scripts/Deputy|Deputy]] is a first-of-its-kind copyright cleanup toolkit. It overrides the interface for [[Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations]] for easy case processing. It also includes the functionality of the following (also new) scripts:
*** [[User:Chlod/Scripts/Deputy/AttributionNoticeTemplateEditor|Attribution Notice Template Editor]] (ANTE) graphically modifies content attribution notices. It is the successor to [[User:Chlod/Scripts/CopiedTemplateEditor]] and supports more templates than {{T|copied}} ones.
*** [[User:Chlod/Scripts/Deputy/InfringementAssistant|Infringement Assistant]] allows a user to hide sections of a page for suspected copyright violations and report the page to the appropriate [[Wikipedia:Copyright problems]] noticeboard.
* [[User:Elominius/gadget/diff arrow keys]] allows navigation between diffs with the arrow keys. It also has a version that requires holding {{key press|Ctrl}} with the arrow key.
* [[User:Enterprisey|Enterprisey]]
** [[User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink-2.js|diff-permalink-2]] allows quickly copying wikilinks to diff and permalink pages from those pages, a variation of existing script [[User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink]]
** [[User:Enterprisey/archiver|archiver]] is a fork of Σ's Archiver with several bugfixes.
** [[User:Enterprisey/parent-cats|/parent-cats]] highlights categories that are a subcategory of a category already included in a page's categories. 
* [[User:Guarapiranga/accessKeysCheatSheet]] adds an [[WP:access key|access key]] shortcut to display all shortcuts based on code provided by [[User:Nardog|Nardog]] and [[User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh|NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh]].
* [[User:HungKhanh0106/ProperDisplay]] loads a bunch of fonts to add correct [[Help:Multilingual support#Scripts|rendering support]]s for "esoteric" languages.
* [[User:Jeeputer/highlightPiped]] will make piped links [[Cerise (color)#Irresistible|irresistible]] (or [[Lists of colors|else]]).
* [[User:Jerome Frank Disciple/curlyfixer.js]] adds an [[WP:AutoEd]] function that straightens curly quotes per MOS. That's right! Such a module was only made in the 14th year of AutoEd's existence! [[WP:AutoEd/Customization|Configure]] away!
* Frequently link to Wikipedia on your websites yet find generating CC-BY credits to be such a hassle? Say no more! [[User:Luke10.27/attribute]] will automatically do it for ya and copy the credit to yer clipboard.
* [[User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft]], a spiritual successor (i.e. fork) to [[User:Evad37|Evad37's]] script, with a few bugs solved, and a host of extra features like check-boxes for choosing draftification reasons, multi-contributor notification, and appropriate warnings based on last edit time.
* [[User:Nardog|Nardog]]
** [[User:Nardog/CopyCodeBlock|/CopyCodeBlock]]: one of the most important operations for any scripter and script-user is to copy and paste. This script adds a copy button in the top right of every code block (not to be confused with <nowiki><code></nowiki>) that will, well, copy it to your clipboard!
** [[User:Nardog/RCMuter|/RCMuter]]: Hide specific users, perhaps [[User:MediaWiki message delivery]], from the Watchlist and Recent Changes.
** [[User:Nardog/VitalTopicon.js|/VitalTopicon]] makes you see the vital article topicon on [[WP:vital articles]].
* [[m:User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AceForLuaDebugConsole.js]] adds the [[Ace (editor)|Ace]] editor (a.k.a. the editor you see when editing JS, CSS and Lua on Wikimedia wikis) to the Lua debug console. "In my opinion, whoever designed it to be a plain <textarea> needs to seriously reconsider their decision."
* [[User:Novem Linguae|Novem Linguae]]
** [[User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/DraftCleaner.js|DraftCleaner]] fixes formatting of new articles.
** [[User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/GANReviewTool|GANReviewTool]] quickly and easily closes good article nominations.
** [[User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/ReviewStatus|ReviewStatus]] displays whether or not a mainspace page is marked as reviewed.
** [[User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/SpeciesHelper|SpeciesHelper]] tries to add the correct speciesbox, category, taxonbar, and stub template to species articles.
* [[User:Opencooper/svgReplace]] and [[:m:User:Tol/RealSVG.js|Tol's fork]] replaces all rasterized SVGs with their original SVG codes for your loading pleasures. Tell us which one is better!
* [[User:Phlsph7/HighlightUnreferencedPassages]] adds a button to highlight all unreferenced paragraphs in reds, and can even do it automatically. 
* Still hate [[WP:Vector 2022|Vector 2022]]'s floating TOC? [[User:Phlsph7/UnfoldedNumberedTOC(Vector2022)]] might make you give it a try.
* Quite a bit of pages at [[Special:WantedCategories]] either exist now or got removed. [[User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/hideUnwantedCategories]] automatically hides those.
* [[User:SuperHamster]]'s [[Wikipedia:Tools/View it!]] generates a gallery of images for a given subject on any Wikimedia project utilizing [[Structured Data on Commons]]. Images can then be added as needed.
* [[User:Terasail|Terasail]]
** [[User:Terasail/ArticleInfo|ArticleInfo]] displays page information at the top of the page, directly below the title.
** [[User:Terasail/HeaderIcons|/HeaderIcons]] takes away the Vector 2022 user dropdown and replaces it with all of the icons within, top level, right next to the Watchlist. One less click away! There's also an [[User:Terasail/HeaderTextLinks|alternate version]] that uses text links instead of icons.
* ...and any more, all available at [[WP:US/L]].

Due to budget and procrastination limitations, we've only had time to review the first ~39% of the [[Special:Diff/1061928044/1189431990|scripts since last issue]].

===[[File:Ambox important.svg|20px]] Improve a script===
Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here!
* Many of our favorite scripts such as [[User:Fred Gandt/userResourceManager|Fred Gandt/userResourceManager]], [[User:Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts|Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts]] and [[User:Bradv/Scripts/Superlinks|Bradv/Superlinks]] haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
* [[User:Elominius/gadget/media timer|Elominius/media timer]] works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
* To a lesser extent, the same goes for [[User:PrimeHunter/Search sort.js|PrimeHunter/Search sort]]. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
* We want...
:* ...a mark-as-read button and watchlist notices support for [[User:Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin|Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin]]
:* ...a tool to automatically fix [[CAT:BROKENREF]]s, preferably a fork/addition to [[User:TheJJJunk/ARA|TheJJJunk/ARA]]
:* ...a fix/fork of [[User:DannyS712/SectionRemover.js|DannyS712/SectionRemover]] to make it work

===[[File:Ambox clock yellow.svg|20px]] Requested scripts===
* A simple script to second or archive [[WP:proposed deletion|proposed deletion]]s
* A script to auto-expand V22 ToC sections like [[:File:Automatically expanding sections in the TOC (Vector 2022).webm|this demo]]
* A [[WP:3O]] response tool that can automatically remove the relevant request from the 3O dashboard
* A byte filter to be split from [[:pl:User:Nux/LongTableFilters.js|Nux/LongTableFilters]]
* ...and many more, all available at [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests]]

===[[File:Gnome-colors-list-add.svg|20px]] New scripts===
<!--The current convention is to use the [[Example/ScriptName]] notation for scripts added by someone other than the script author and [[Example]]: [[SciptName]] for scripts the author adds themselves. Of course, you are always free to ignore all rules.-->

*[[User:DannyS712/AbuseFilterMessageLinks.js|DannyS712/AbuseFilterMessageLinks]] add links to the "warn" and "disallow" messages in [[wp:edit filter|edit filter]]s.
*[[User:Diegodlh/Web2Cit/script|Diegodlh/Web2Cit/script]] adds an option to use [[m:Web2Cit]] (which [[WP:ProveIt]] also uses) instead of [[mw:Citoid]] to generate citations in the Visual Editor.
*[[meta:User:Dragoniez/SuppressEnterInForm|Dragoniez/SuppressEnterInForm]] stops you from accidentally submitting anything due to pressing enter while in the smaller box, and works on almost anything... except the InputBox element itself, used in subscription lists and [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2023-12-24/Crossword|the Signpost Crossword]]! Oh, the humanity!
*[[File:CopyVio detector, Adiutor.png|frameless|right]][[User:Doǵu/Adiutor|Doǵu/Adiutor]] ''(pictured)'' provides a nice, integrated interface to do some twinkley tasks such as copyvio detection, CSD tagging, and viewing the most recent diff.
*[[File:Eejit43's redirect-helper script demo.png|right|frameless]][[User:Eejit43|Eejit43]] has quite the aesthetically pleasing scripts, all made in [[TypeScript]].
**[[User:Eejit43/scripts/afcrc-helper|/afcrc-helper]] is a replacement for the unmaintained [[User:Enterprisey/AFCRHS|Enterprisey/AFCRHS]] and processes Redirects for Creation and Categories for Creation requests.
**[[User:Eejit43/scripts/ajax-undo|/ajax-undo]] stops the "undo" button from taking you to another page while providing a text box to provide a reason for the revert.
**[[User:Eejit43/scripts/redirect-helper|/redirect-helper]] ''(pictured)'' adds a much better interface for editing and redirects, including categorization, for which valid categories are dictated by [[User:Eejit43/scripts/redirect-helper.json|/redirect-helper.json]].
**[[User:Eejit43/scripts/rmtr-helper|/rmtr-helper]] helps process technical requested moves without being able to actually move them.
*[[File:User Info Popup screenshot 1.jpg|right|frameless]][[User:Guycn2/UserInfoPopup|Guycn2/UserInfoPopup]] ''(pictured)'' adds a flyout after the watchlist star on userspace pages that displays the common information you might use about a user.
*[[User:Jeeputer/editCounter|Jeeputer/editCounter]], under userspace, adds a portlet link to count your edits by namespace, put them in a table, and put that table in a hardcoded subpage, all in the background.
*[[User:Hilst/Scripts/sectionLinks|Hilst/Scripts/sectionLinks]] converts all section links to use the § sign, which are known to be preferred over the ugly # by 99% of the devils I've met.
*[[User:Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable|Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable]] highlights phrases commonly used in spammed and POV'd paragraphs.
*[[File:FormattedEditRequest-in-work.png|frameless|right]][[User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/FormattedEditRequest|NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/FormattedEditRequest]] ''(pictured)'' generates a wikitext-formatted diff view of any changes you've made that you can copy and paste anywhere.
*[[User:PrimeHunter/Category source.js|PrimeHunter/Category source.js]] adds portlet links to tell you where a category for an article comes from and supports those from template transclusions.
*[[User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/massCFD|Qwerfjkl/massCFD]] creates mass [[WP:CfD]] nominations.
*[[User:Rublov/refspace|Rublov/refspace]] highlights footnote spacing errors in red.
*[[User:Sophivorus|Sophivorus]]'s [[mw:MiniEdit|MiniEdit]] adds some nice, li'l buttons next to paragraphs to edit their wikitext with a minimal interface.

====Edit-listings====
*[[meta:User:Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks|Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks]] adds more and customizable links next to users in page history, logs, watchlist, recent changes, etc.
*[[User:Firefly/more-block-info|Firefly/more-block-info]] optimizes the display of rangeblocks in contribution pages. Doesn't work outside the English locale of any wiki, unfortunately.
*[[User:Ingenuity/AbuseFilterContribs|Ingenuity/AbuseFilterContribs]] adds the edit filters that an edit tripped (if any) to a user's contributions page.
**[[User:Nardog/ExamineMore.js|Nardog/ExamineMore]] makes it so the paging at [[Special:AbuseFilter/examine]] actually works, pending a fix to {{Phab|T292764}}.
*[[User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader.js|NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader]] makes paging links (e.g. older 50, 500, newest) load without refreshing and makes you realize how slow your internet actually is.

====Appearance-ricing====
*[[User:Ahecht|Ahecht/RedirectID]] adds the redirect target to all redirects. For all the [[WP:NAVPOPS]] haters. (Do these exist?)
*[[meta:User:Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal|Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal]]: Remember the "strike blocked usernames" gadget? Now you can use a red, dotted line to highlight rangeblocks and global locks!
*[[User:GhostInTheMachine/GraphicReplyLink|GhostInTheMachine/GraphicReplyLink]] replaces the [ {{preload|Template talk:Signpost/Crossword cell|reply|User:Aaron Liu/insomnium}} ] link with 💬, which is some sort of rainy cloud I guess?{{jokes}}
*[[File:En.WP VPP Screen Shot 2024-01-13 with custom CSS.png|frameless|right]][[User:Jonesey95/common.css|Jonesey/common]] ''(pictured)'' has some styles to overhaul your Vector 2022 experience. It reduces padding everywhere, and makes the top bar animation faster.
**[[m:User:Aaron Liu/v22.css|Aaron Liu/V22]] is a fork that narrows the sidebars instead of upheaving them, reverts the January 2024 dropdown changes, and restores the old page-link color for links that don't go outside the current wiki.
*[[User:Nardog/SmartDiff|Nardog: SmartDiff]] is a spiritual successor to [[User:Enterprisey/fancy-diffs|Enterprisey/fancy-diffs]]. It makes the page title part of links in diffs clickable, along with template and parser function calls. Unnamed parameters can be configured per template to also be linked. All links are styled based on the normal CSS classes of rendered links.
*[[User:Phlsph7/ClassicalTOC(Vector2022)|Phlsph7/ClassicalTOC (Vector 2022)]] reinserts the inline table of contents to pages under Vector 2022.
*For the paranoid: [[User:Rublov/anonymize|Rublov/anonymize]] replaces your username at the top of the screen with the generic "User page" text. Remember, it is your duty to persuade everyone that [[WP:HOLIC|editing is an honor]].
*[[User:Sideswipe9th/V22FloatingToolsMenu|Sideswipe9th/Vector 2022 Floating Tools Menu]] moves the Page Tools menu to the left and makes it float along with the table of contents.
*[[User:Sm8ps/SectionEditing|Sm8ps/SectionEditing]] makes pressing {{key press|Tab}} toggle the visibility of the tiny [ {{preload|Template talk:Signpost/Crossword cell|edit|User:Aaron Liu/insomnium}} ] links next to section headings.. Not a great name, eh?
*[[User:The wub/tocExpandAll.js|The wub/tocExpandAll]] adds a button on top of the floating ToC to expand or collapse subheadings.

====Permissions required!====
*[[User:Ahecht/Scripts/potd-helper|Ahecht/potd-helper]]: A script to <em>post</em> the picture of the day. A powerful upgrade for your mop.
*[[File:Selective Rollback dialog.png|right|frameless]][[meta:User:Dragoniez|Dragoniez]]
**[[meta:User:Dragoniez/AjaxBlock|/AjaxBlock]] provides a dialog box for easy input of reasons while blocking users.
**[[meta:User:Dragoniez/Selective Rollback|/Selective Rollback]] ''(pictured)'' provides a dialog box to customize [[wp:rollback|rollback]] edit summaries and does them without reloading the page. Seriously, why doesn't MediaWiki already do this?
*[[User:Theleekycauldron/DYK promoter|Theleekycauldron/DYK promoter]] automates (nearly) all the work needed to post a DYK hook.

====QOL shortcuts====

*[[User:BrandonXLF/SVGEditor|BrandonXLF/SVGEditor]] lets you edit any file that is an SVG, straight from the file page.
*[[User:DanCherek/UAABotRemover|DanCherek/UAABotRemover]] adds a portlet link to enable a removal shortcut of faulty reports from [[Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention]].
*[[User:DreamRimmer/BlankUserPage|DreamRimmer/BlankUserPage]] helps you destroy webhost-ers' hopes and dreams with a user-friendly dialog box.
*[[meta:User:ESanders (WMF)/commentlinks.js|ESanders (WMF)/commentlinks.js]] adds a "link" button right after the "reply" button while the WMF struggles to reach feature parity with [[commons:Special:MyLanguage/User:Jack who built the house/Convenient Discussions|Convenient Discussions]].
*[[User:Isaacl/script/copy-comment-link-to-clipboard|Isaacl/copy-comment-link-to-clipboard]] does exactly what you'd think it does, but in Wikitext.
* [[User:FenrisAureus/SimpleStatus|FenrisAureus/SimpleStatus]] adds a shortcut at the top to edit your /Status subpage while providing a pre-made template.
*[[User:Fred Gandt/addCloneClearButtonAboveScributoConsole.js|Fred Gandt/addCloneClearButtonAboveScributoConsole]]: What a mouthful! Yet all it does (no offense) is add another {{Button|Clear}} button on top of the Lua module debug console.
* [[User:Guarapiranga/GlobalWatchlistLink|Guarapiranga/GlobalWatchlistLink]] adds a link to [[metawiki:Special:GlobalWatchlist]] next to the normal watchlist.
*[[User:Nardog|Nardog]]
**[[User:Nardog/PasteToCommons|PasteToCommons]] adds a paste handler to upload the pasted image to Wikimedia Commons.
**[[User:Nardog/Unpipe.js|Unpipe]] tries to detect violations of [[WP:NOPIPE]] and fix them as much as possible.
*[[User:Ohconfucius/script/tometricunits|Ohconfucius/tometricunits]] automatically adds unit conversions of [[United States customary units|imperial units]] in brackets after their uses per [[MOS:UNITS]].
* [[User:Suntooooth|Suntooooth]]
** [[User:Suntooooth/flickrsearch.js|/flickrsearch]] adds a portlet link to search for uploadable flickr images about the subject.
** [[User:Suntooooth/randomincategory.js|/randomincategory]] adds a portlet link when on Category pages to go to a random page in the current category. 
* [[User:Vghfr/EasyTemplates/Easytemplates|Vghfr/EasyTemplates]] adds a portlet link to automatically insert some of the most common inline {{tl|fix}} templates.

Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!

== Technical question ==

Sorry to disturb you, but I wasn't sure if my message would be recieved if I asked on English Wikisource, since you haven't edited that project for a year.

A few years ago (in 2019) you ressurected [[s:WS:NEWS|Wikisource news]]. I've tried this again, albeit in a far smaller format, but I have a question about [[meta:Global message delivery/Targets/Wikisource News (en)|the supposedly automatic messages]] (in theory from MediaWiki Message Delivery). (I don't have any experience in that technical realm). Do they get sent out by a bot at some point, ideally soon-ish? Do I have to do something to prompt it to send a message to the talk pages? Or does it not work, and I should thus hand out messages myself?

Thanks for any help you can provide. Cheers, [[User:Cremastra|Cremastra]] ([[User talk:Cremastra|talk]]) 23:39, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

===[[File:Cscr-featured.svg|20px]] Featured script===
: '''[[m:User:Ponor/inline-diff-inline-patrol|inline-diff-inline-patrol]]''' by '''[[m:User:Ponor|Ponor]]''' is this edition's featured script. By loading diffs inline on every page that shows a list of changes, it implements the 2023 community wish [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Admins and patrollers/Inline diffs and inline patrol]]. Hopefully we won't need this script anymore soon, with the WMF's [[m:Community Wishlist Survey/Wishlist Survey Audit 2023|focus on the backlog]]...

===[[File:Ambox important.svg|20px]] Improve a script===
* Many of our favorite scripts such as [[User:Fred Gandt/userResourceManager|Fred Gandt/userResourceManager]], [[User:Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts|Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts]] and [[User:Bradv/Scripts/Superlinks|Bradv/Superlinks]] haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
* [[User:Elominius/gadget/media timer|Elominius/media timer]] works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
* To a lesser extent, the same goes for [[User:PrimeHunter/Search sort.js|PrimeHunter/Search sort]]. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
* We want...
:* ...watchlist notices support for [[User:Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin|Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin]]
:* ...a tool to automatically fix [[CAT:BROKENREF]]s, preferably a fork/addition to [[User:TheJJJunk/ARA|TheJJJunk/ARA]]
:* ...a fix/fork of [[User:DannyS712/SectionRemover|DannyS712/SectionRemover]] to make it work

===[[File:Ambox clock yellow.svg|20px]] Requested scripts===
* Automatically delink all duplicate links within the same section per [[MOS:LINKONCE]].
* Collapsible parentheses in body text, which had [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests#Collapsible parentheses in body text|a ridiculously long original request title]] and was accidentally moved to [[WP:US/L]] by me. Oops!
* An easily configurable script to add a link to the #p-vector-user-menu-overflow portlet with a name, target, and icon. This one should be a relatively easier one. I would do it myself, but I'm too busy rotting away on [[Celeste (video game)]].
* [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests#Mobile edit preview|Preview an edit under the mobile viewport on desktop]], with perhaps [[MediaWiki:Gadget-mobile-sidebar.js]] used for inspiration. 
* ...and many more, all available at [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests]]. [[User:Jeeputer|Jeeputer]] and [[User:Nardog|Nardog]] have been the most active on the page in the past five months.

===[[File:Gnome-colors-view-refresh.svg|20px]] Updated scripts===
* After the <ruby>ＲＩＩＪ<rp>(</rp><rt>rewrite it in [[jQuery]]</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby> update, [[User:Aaron Liu|Aaron Liu]]: [[User:Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin|Watchlyst Greybar Unsin]] has a dismiss button that allows you to mark an item as read in one click and cycle to the next Watchlist item.
* [[User:Lordseriouspig/StatusChangerImproved|Lordseriouspig/StatusChangerImproved]] is just like Enterprisey's script, except you select your status from a dropdown instead of cycling through them with a button. The WMF operates out of car-centric infrastructure anyway. Shame!

===[[File:Farm-Fresh error go.png|20px]] Newly maintained scripts===
* [[User:Aaron Liu|Aaron Liu]] has created [[User:Aaron Liu/duplinks.js|Duplinks]] from [[User:Evad37/duplinks-alt|Evad37/duplinks-alt]]; {{their|Aaron Liu}} fork adds a config variable to automatically highlight duplicate links on the loading of any page where the portlet link would've appeared.
* [[User:BilledMammal/Move+|BilledMammal/Move+]] expands the powers of [[User:TheTVExpert/rmCloser]] to include common procedures done with the art of moving pages.
* On a holiday? Somewhere? Gotta learn ye ABCs? [[User:CanonNi/Scripts/StatusSetter|CanonNi/StatusSetter]] puts the fun into [[User:Enterprisey/StatusChanger|Enterprisey/StatusChanger]] with a quadruple more statuses. That starts with a C!
* In our continuing trend(s?), [[User:DaxServer/DiscussionCloser|DaxServer/DiscussionCloser]] forks [[User:DannyS712/DiscussionCloser|DannyS712/DiscussionCloser]] to make it work. Sadly, this is the end of our lexicographic combo.
* [[User:Andrybak|Andrybak]]:

** [[User:Andrybak/Scripts/Archiver|Archiver]] is a fork of [[User:Enterprisey/archiver]] with automatic calculation of the destination archive subpage and with support for non-Vector skins.
* Quite coincidentally, [[User:Elli/OneClickArchiver|Elli/OneClickArchiver]] has been forked from [[User:Equazcion/OneClickArchiver]] to work with the [[mw:Heading HTML changes]].
* [[User:FlightTime/OneClickArchiver|FlightTime/OneClickArchiver]] forks the same thing but also no longer nonsensically prepends {{tl|clear}} to page archives. 
** [[Wikipedia:One click archiving|There are now over 7 OneClickArchivers, legacy or not]].

===[[File:Gnome-colors-list-add.svg|20px]] New scripts===
<!--The current convention is to use the [[Example/ScriptName]] notation for scripts added by someone other than the script author and [[Example]]: [[SciptName]] for scripts the author adds themselves. Of course, you are always free to ignore all rules.-->

* [[User:Andrybak/Scripts/Not around|Andrybak/Not around]] can help you mark talk pages of inactive users with {{tl|not around}}.
* [[User:BrandonXLF/AddCopied|BrandonXLF/AddCopied]] automatically tags talk pages of pages you've copied between with {{tl|copied}}.
* [[User:Bugghost/Scripts/UserRoleIndicator|Bugghost/UserRoleIndicator]] adds text labels (which default to emoji) to user links that label the user's usergroups. Wow, that's a mouthful
* [[User:CanonNi/Scripts/AlertAssistant|CanonNi/AlertAssistant]] adds a Twinkle-style dialog for alerting users about contentious topics.
* [[User:CFA/scripts/AttributeTranslation|CFA/AttributeTranslation]] automatically tags articles translated from other places with appropriate attribution.
* In the defense of the 'pedia, the humble [[User:Jeeputer/defconIndicator|Jeeputer/defconIndicator]] adds the [[WP:WIKIDEFCON]] status to the toolbar.
* Tired of staring at a bunch of filtering text and waiting for darn filter logs to load? [[m:User:Msz2001/AbuseFilter analyzer|Msz2001/AbuseFilter analyzer]] can parse abuse filters into a visual syntax tree and evaluate locally on-demand!
* [[User:Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences|Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences]] finds references with the same link and displays the number of them along with a button to add the {{tl|duplicated citations}} tag under the references section. Being lazy has never been easier!
* fastest gun on the net [[m:User:Ponor/really-quick-block|Ponor/really-quick-block]] really quick add to contribution lists three buttons awesome
* [[User:TheTechie/Help Me Tool.js|TheTechie/Help Me Tool]] is a quick and easy way of responding to {{tl|help me}} requests.
* Per [[MOS:CONFORM]], [[User:ZKang123/TitleCaseConverter|ZKang123/TitleCaseConverter]] converts all citation titles to... title case, unfortunately.

==  [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:International Revolutionary Left]] ==
[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|alt=Notice|48px|]]

The article [[:International Revolutionary Left]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''No demonstration of notability. Attempts to find sources turn up nothing of note, only their own publications. Completely fails GNG as a result.'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:International Revolutionary Left|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify -->

'''<span style="color: red;">This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the [[Help:Introduction to navigating Wikipedia/4|history]] of each individual page for details.</span>''' Thanks, [[User:FastilyBot|FastilyBot]] ([[User talk:FastilyBot|talk]]) 10:01, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello fellow take page stalkers,

there is a situation in another wiki project, which is quite similar to the Kubura situation, with a right-wing nutjob running amok and making arbitrary decisions in violation of rules and similar stuff. I've already messaged MJL via Mail about this, but since he seems to be inactive for a longer time, is there any place or person that can be contacted, which is likely to respond? Thanks. --[[User:Mighty Wire|Mighty Wire]] ([[User talk:Mighty Wire|talk]]) 18:33, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on [[:Committee for a Workers' International (disambiguation)]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G14|section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a disambiguation page which either
:::*disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Is there a primary topic?|primary topic]]);
:::* disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
:::*is an [[Wikipedia:Orphan|orphaned]] redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such pages may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:MOSDAB|see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information]]. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Committee for a Workers' International (disambiguation)|visiting the page]] and removing the speedy deletion tag. <!-- Template:Db-disambig-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Shhhnotsoloud|Shhhnotsoloud]] ([[User talk:Shhhnotsoloud|talk]]) 16:32, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

And congratulations on standing up to the vindictive, manipulative liar, James Somebody, at some personal cost.  His repeated misgendering and use of a wp deadname is typical of such a bully.  I have never before seen a vote of 39 nem con in Wikimedia, and it was largely his treatment of you and another that produced that vote.  The only answer to such people is to vote against them. You have cats on your user page.  The free world is praying that the US contains many cat-women. Russia and China not so much.

MJL, if I am being honest, you being a clerk is what gave me the confidence to apply myself. If there is a non-admin on the team, maybe they'll let HouseBlaster apply? One thing leads to another, and earlier today I was able to [[Special:Diff/1264477198|make this edit]]. I have enjoyed hanging out with you on VC, and I hope you are able to slowly reintegrate yourself into Wikipedia land. I am eagerly awaiting [[WP:Requests for adminship/MJL|a certain red link turning blue]] in a couple of months. Best to you and yours in 2025, happy holidays, and of course: welcome back!

===[[File:Cscr-featured.svg|20px]] Featured script===
:Very useful for changelist patrollers, '''[[User:Nardog/DiffUndo|DiffUndo]]''', by '''[[User:Nardog|Nardog]]''', is this edition's featured script. Taking inspiration from [[WP:AutoWikiBrowser]]'s double-click-to-undo feature, it adds an undo button to every line of every diff from "show changes", optimizing partial reverts with your favorite magic spell and nearly fulfilling [[m:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Partial revert undo]].

===[[File:Info icon 002.svg|20px]] Miscellaneous===
* [[User:Doğu/Adiutor|Doğu/Adiutor]], a recent [[WP:Twinkle]]/[[WP:RedWarn]]-like userscript that follows modern WMF UI design, is now [[mw:Extension:Adiutor|an extension]]. However, its sole maintainer has left the project, which still awaits WMF [[mw:code stewardship]] (among some audits) to be installed on your favorite WMF wikis.
* [[User:DannyS712|DannyS712]], our former chief editor, has ascended to [[MediaWiki]] and the <s>greener</s><!--Yes, the usage of the <s> element to denote "things that are no longer relevant or no longer accurate" here is intentional.--> <ins>purpley</ins> pastures of [[PHP]] with commits creating [[Special:NamespaceInfo]] and the <syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext">__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__</syntaxhighlight> magic word to exclude a template from [[Special:UnusedTemplates]]! I wonder if Wikipedia has a templaters' newsletter...

===[[File:Ambox important.svg|20px]] Improve a script===
* Many of our favorite scripts such as [[User:Fred Gandt/userResourceManager|Fred Gandt/userResourceManager]], [[User:Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts|Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts]], and [[User:Bradv/Scripts/Superlinks|Bradv/Superlinks]] haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
* [[User:Elominius/gadget/media timer|Elominius/media timer]] and [[User:PrimeHunter/Search sort.js|PrimeHunter/Search sort]] work, yet have alien [[user interface design]]. Someone could improve them...
* [[User:BilledMammal/Move+|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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3AWikiProject_Weather&action=history&limit=10&offset=202412150415 fiasco history].

===[[File:Ambox clock yellow.svg|20px]] Requested scripts===
We need scripts that...
* allow you to edit {{tl|sfn}} references graphically a la [[:User:Ingenuity/ReferenceEditor.js|Ingenuity/ReferenceEditor]]
* copy specific named references from other pages to help with splitting and whatnot
* make adding icons/links to the top toolbar (or other portlets) much easier
* graphically generate a {{tl|source assess table}}
* award a [[WP:Four Award|Four Award]]
* ...and many more, all available at [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests]]. Thanks to the editors at US/R—including [[User:Nardog|Nardog]], [[User:Novem Linguae]], [[User:Jeeputer]], and many more!—for their work in processing userscript requests this past year.

{{columns-end}}

===[[File:Gnome-colors-view-refresh.svg|20px]] Updated scripts===
* [[User:Andrybak/Scripts/Unsigned helper|Andrybak/Unsigned helper]] forks [[User:Anomie/unsignedhelper|Anomie/unsignedhelper]] to add support for binary search, automatic edit summaries after generating the {{tl|unsigned}} template, support for {{tl|undated}}, and support for generating while syntax highlighting is on.
* Pour one out: [[User:DreamRimmer/User not around.js|DreamRimmer/User not around]] forks [[User:Andrybak/Scripts/Not around|Andrybak/Not around]] to allow configuration precise to a number of days (from the original precision of years).
* [[User:Red-tailed hawk/cv revdel.js|Red-tailed hawk/cv revdel]] forks [[User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel|Enterprisey/cv-revdel]] to automatically add CopyPatrol reports.
* [[User:Frost/moveplus.js|Polygnotus/Move+]] updates BilledMammal's classic Move+ to add automattic watchlisting of all pages—except the target page(s)—changed while processing a move.

===[[File:Farm-Fresh error go.png|20px]] Newly maintained scripts===
* Administrators only! [[User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/UnblockReview|Novem Linguae/UnblockReview]] forks the now-broken [[User:Enterprisey/unblock-review|Enterprisey/unblock-review]] to review unblock requests with a graphical interface.

===[[File:Gnome-colors-list-add.svg|20px]] New scripts===
<!--The current convention is to use the [[Example/ScriptName]] notation for scripts added by someone other than the script author and [[Example]]: [[SciptName]] for scripts the author adds themselves. Of course, you are always free to ignore all rules.-->
* [[User:1AmNobody24|1AmNobody24]]: [[User:1AmNobody24/Find Link|Find Link]] provides a shortcut to its namesake tool, [[User:Edward/Find link|Edward/Find link]], which helps de-[[WP:ORPHAN]] articles.
* [[File:Wikipedia Contribs ranger screenshot of contributions by Jimbo Wales dark mode.png|frameless|right]][[User:Andrybak|Andrybak]]: [[User:Andrybak/Scripts/Contribs ranger|Contribs ranger]] (''pictured'') generates links to a limited range of [[Help:User contributions|user contributions]], log items, or page history. You see, it's not just [[Wikipedia:Glossary#Contribs|contribs]]!
* [[User:CanonNi/Scripts/VoteVisualizer|CanonNi/VoteVisualizer]] is a rewrite of [[User:Pythoncoder/Scripts/voteSymbols|Pythoncoder/voteSymbols]] that makes everything saner to configure.
* When viewing [[:Category:Articles missing coordinates with coordinates on Wikidata]], [[User:Jeeputer/coordInserter|Jeeputer/coordInserter]] adds links to automatically insert coordinates into the article selected.
* To satiate archaeology and curiosity (the same thing, perhaps?), [[User:JJPMaster/AfC time logger|JJPMaster/AfC time logger]] logs the time it takes for a user to review each submission to [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation]].
* [[User:Nardog/InsertAnyChar|Natdog/InsertAnyChar]] adds a searchable list of all Unicode characters to the 2010 source editor.
