I'm sorry for using Wikipedia for it, I don't use social media. Wikipedia is like the only way I can spread awareness and make it go viral. Poe.com now says "I'm sorry, but I do not feel comfortable" when asking it many of the questions I could before. Reddit abandons me. 216.145.66.231 (talk) 14:56, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you about the bs gender role stuff, and I feel as strongly as you do, but, Wikipedia isn't social media, you can't "spread awareness" and have things "go viral". This is an encyclopedia, it's just a repository of information that's not meant to have opinions attached to it. Kjvfiyguhoircpioruv (talk) 07:34, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey there, welcome to the 25th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 March 2024. We've got a ton of wonderful editors taking back their pitchforks today. Don't worry, for they come in peace, to forcibly fix and extend existing scripts you use with sheer passion. There's so many, them forks have got what's basically their own column now! gift us with some rows before it's too late Aaron Liu (talk) 04:01, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!
To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
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).
After the ＲＩＩＪ update, Aaron Liu: 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.
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!
Aaron Liu has created Duplinks from Evad37/duplinks-alt; his fork adds a config variable to automatically highlight duplicate links on the loading of any page where the portlet link would've appeared.
Tired of staring at a bunch of filtering text and waiting for darn filter logs to load? Msz2001/AbuseFilter analyzer can parse abuse filters into a visual syntax tree and evaluate locally on-demand!
Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences finds references with the same link and displays the number of them along with a button to add the {{duplicated citations}} tag under the references section. Being lazy has never been easier!
fastest gun on the net Ponor/really-quick-block really quick add to contribution lists three buttons awesome
Would it be possible to import recent changes from multiple users and IP addresses at the same time? Similarly, would it be possible to have a checkbox to also import deleted edits? Thanks for all of your hard work on these scripts. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:38, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Quinlan: Not tested very well, but try switching to User:Suffusion of Yellow/FilterDebugger.dev.js. Instead of adding more vars to the dropdown menu, I added a more flexible "expression" option. Basically a second "mini-filter" that's run after the first, re-using the variables. So just plain myvar should give you contents of myvar but you can also do ccnorm(myvar), "test" rlike myvar, etc. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 02:38, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Quinlan: Also Done to both, also on the .dev branch. Separate multiple users, titles, or filter log ids with with pipes. I could only test importing deleted revisions on testwiki, of course, but hopefully it will work here. And I probably introduced a few new bugs. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 00:49, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much. I've been heavily using the development version recently. The expression option has been helpful already. It allows variables to be defined using semicolons, but I don't suppose it would be possible to allow the input box to expand for multiple lines? Some expressions get a little long. I'll test out the multiple user support soon.
I am seeing some cases where the filter stops working properly (especially the results panel on the lower right) after changing the input several times and you have to completely reload the page to get it to work again, but I don't have any more specifics on when it happens at this point.

Hey there! I'm a big fan of your AbuseFilter scripts, I use them on my home wiki :). I noticed the buttons "FP check" and "FN check" of Batch Test Plus are disabled by default outside of enwiki. As I understand, that's because "FP check" requires a random sample filter. I was wondering, though, why "FN check" is also disabled by default. Do you think it could be enabled, or is there a way I could override that config on my common.js without forking your script? Thank you! --Titore (talk) 22:55, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, fyi, the filter doesn't seem to currently catch things like User :Example, so you might want to adapt the filter. (Another wiki decided to import the filter recently, and was wondering why it didn't catch certain (abusive) edits). 1234qwer1234qwer414:46, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
RFA2024 update: Discussion-only period now open for review
I remember previously coming across editing where the person was adding specific age at time of death to multiple historical BIO articles, and adding specific order of office or occurrences to infoboxes. It seems so familiar but I can't quite pin down where I saw this before. I ran an Editor Interaction Utility on 2 editors and came up with a commonality of First Lady articles. But anyway, does this pattern of behavior ring any possible LTA filter bells for you? - Shearonink (talk) 19:21, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
phab:T360164 ("Android and iOS apps should use tags instead of hashtags")
Hi, hope you are doing well.
In that archived EFN I had asked(I was that IPv4) for this filter to be changed because mobile app changes were using manual hashtag(#) summaries instead of using tags, it appears that since August, according to the linked task, the mobile apps now all use tags, so the patch (diff) can now be reverted :). – 2804:F1...DF:61D4 (::/32) (talk) 19:23, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
Hello everyone, and welcome to the 26th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 August 2024. At press time, over 94% of the world has legally fallen prey to the merry celebrations of "Christmas", and so shall you soon. It's been a quiet 4 months, and we hope to see you with way more new scripts next year. Happy holidays! Aaron Liu (talk) 05:06, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Very useful for changelist patrollers, DiffUndo, by 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.
Doğu/Adiutor, a recent WP:Twinkle/WP:RedWarn-like userscript that follows modern WMF UI design, is now 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.
DannyS712, our former chief editor, has ascended to MediaWiki and the greener purpley pastures of PHP with commits creating Special:NamespaceInfo and the __EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__ magic word to exclude a template from Special:UnusedTemplates! I wonder if Wikipedia has a templaters' newsletter...
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.
Andrybak/Unsigned helper forks Anomie/unsignedhelper to add support for binary search, automatic edit summaries after generating the {{unsigned}} template, support for {{undated}}, and support for generating while syntax highlighting is on.
Polygnotus/Move+ updates BilledMammal's classic Move+ to add automattic watchlisting of all pages—except the target page(s)—changed while processing a move.
Hi Suffusion of Yellow. I'm experiencing an issue with the .fdb-batch-results pane the last week or two. After loading the page, the pane is empty until you make a change to the filter. The issue is very consistent on both Firefox and Safari. It also happens when I am logged out with no other user scripts loaded. Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:51, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Quinlan: I could semi-reproduce this while logged out. I was getting an error about the now-removed mw.Uri() and some of the results were missing. I think this should have fixed it. Let me know if you still have problems. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 21:30, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your reply at Edit filter/False positives/Reports. That makes perfect sense, and I appreciate you taking the time to explain. Just to be clear, I wasn't so much worried that someone would complain about my edit, but that I had – inadvertently – actually done something wrong with the article. Very good to be reassured on that count. On the plus side: Had to read about Richard Jewell to understand your reference, so, you know, everything's educational! AukusRuckus (talk) 11:53, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think time could also be a reason why it doesn't show. If I run the Debugger against all hits from filter 702, all the non matches are before 3 February 2019. Not sure if anything relevant changed in the code around that time. Edit: It does look like that phab ticket was right around that time, culprit found I'd say.
