Dashes

Can someone help me with AutoEd customization to add User:Ohconfucius/dashes.js? I'm really confused with the instructions. 𝙹𝚒𝚢𝚊𝚗 忌炎 (𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚔) 19:21, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Hey! Add the following, and make sure it is below the imports for dashes and autoedcomplete:

function autoEdFunctions() { //Activates individual modules when "auto ed" tab is clicked
    var $textbox = $( '#wpTextbox1' );
    var txt = $textbox.textSelection('getContents');
    txt = autoEdUnicodify(txt);
    txt = autoEdISBN(txt);
    txt = autoEdWhitespace(txt);
    txt = autoEdUnicodeHex(txt);
    txt = autoEdWikilinks(txt);
    txt = autoEdHTMLtoWikitext(txt);
    txt = autoEdHeadlines(txt);
    txt = autoEdUnicodeControlChars(txt);
    txt = autoEdTemplates(txt);
    txt = autoEdTablestoWikitext(txt);
    txt = autoEdExtraBreaks(txt);
    txt = autoEdLinks(txt);
    txt = autoEdDashes(txt);
    txt = autoEdFullwidth(txt);
    txt = autoEdCurlyFixer(txt);
    if(txt===$textbox.textSelection('getContents')){ autoEdTag = ""; mw.notify("No changes required!"); }
    else $textbox.textSelection('setContents', txt);
}

This is wonderful. I really appreciate your help. So many thank you. 𝙹𝚒𝚢𝚊𝚗 忌炎 (𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚔) 21:04, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

@Aaron Liu A question when importing those to my common.js it should be like this:

Line1 = Dashes script
Line2 = AutoEd script
Line3 = Custom text

Is that right? 𝙹𝚒𝚢𝚊𝚗 忌炎 (𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚔) 21:15, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

no, the autoed one first. That should work Aaron Liu (talk) 21:21, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

I added it but AutoEd was gone in the tools and dashes duplicated. Could you take a look at my User:Windborne Rider/common.js? Did I do it right? 𝙹𝚒𝚢𝚊𝚗 忌炎 (𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚔) 21:30, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Try importing AutoEd complete.js at the very start of the file Aaron Liu (talk) 22:01, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

why does AutoEd trash references?

Here is what it let a user do to an article the other day: it closed a references tag and blew away the reference definitions. -- mikeblas (talk) 14:47, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

As the page says, users are responsible for inspecting their edits. This user clearly did not. Aaron Liu (talk) 15:05, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

I would be surprised if there is code in the default AutoEd setup that adds a closing slash to <references>, which is used in 4,000 articles. I suspect that the editor did that one manually. User talk:Trivialist is probably the best place to raise this issue. – Jonesey95 (talk) 12:57, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Actually, Wikipedia:AutoEd/htmltowikitext.js#L-18 does that by default. Aaron Liu (talk) 13:24, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Well, color me surprised! That looks like a bug to me, since <references> is a supported feature of MediaWiki. That line should probably be removed from the AutoEd code. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:03, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Edit requests to fix only-slightly–common bugs

Remove lines 17 and 18, per the section immediately above. The part about whitespace isn't nearly worth as much as list-defined references. Aaron Liu (talk) 15:01, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Change line 98 to if( document.getElementById('ca-edit') && !document.getElementById( autoEdLinkLocation ) ) { to prevent self-executing AutoEd modules like Dashes from accidentally adding multiple AutoEd portlets. Aaron Liu (talk) 15:01, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done both. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 16:30, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

@Pppery Could you undo the second one? It looks like it broke everything. Sorry. Aaron Liu (talk) 16:38, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

As you wish. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 16:39, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

@Pppery Okay, this should work, I tested this one out:
if( document.getElementById( 'ca-edit' ) && !document.getElementById( 'ca-AutoEd' ) ) {. Thanks in advance! Aaron Liu (talk) 16:48, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
