===] Updated scripts===
* ]: ] can now look up the move history of any page from anywhere on the site.
* ] now has a version that copies the Special:Diff link with square brackets.
* ] now moves the Active Filters panel to the right so that the Show/Hide button doesn't constantly jump.
* ] has now become stable with some bugfixes and features such as automatically highlighting potentially uncivil edit summaries and automatically pinging all the users selected.
* ] will no longer replace ] (dot followed by two uppercase alphanumeric characters) in article links, which caused several links to become broken.

===] Improve a script===
* Many of our favorite scripts such as ], ] and ] haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
* ] works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
* To a lesser extent, the same goes for ]. 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 ]
:* ...a tool to automatically fix ]s, preferably a fork/addition to ]
:* ...a fix/fork of ] to make it work

===] Requested scripts===
* A ] requesting and responding tool, similar to ]
* A "bytes removed"/"added" filter on the user contribs page
* A review tool for ]s
* Mass patrol new pages by a user for use in ]
* ...and many more, all available at ]

{{columns-end}}

===] New scripts===
* ]: ] 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.
* ]: ] is a spiritual successor to reply-link with a host of extra features like section adding, link rewriting, regular expressions and more.
* ]: This script will automatically redirect MobileFrontend (en.m.wikipedia) to normal Misplaced Pages. 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!
* ]:
** ] is a first-of-its-kind copyright cleanup toolkit. It overrides the interface for ] for easy case processing. It also includes the functionality of the following (also new) scripts:
*** ] (ANTE) graphically modifies content attribution notices. It is the successor to ] and supports more templates than {{T|copied}} ones.
*** ] allows a user to hide sections of a page for suspected copyright violations and report the page to the appropriate ] noticeboard.
* ] allows navigation between diffs with the arrow keys. It also has a version that requires holding {{key press|Ctrl}} with the arrow key.
* ]
** ] allows quickly copying wikilinks to diff and permalink pages from those pages, a variation of existing script ]
** ] is a fork of Σ's Archiver with several bugfixes.
** ] highlights categories that are a subcategory of a category already included in a page's categories.
* ] adds an ] shortcut to display all shortcuts based on code provided by ] and ].
* ] loads a bunch of fonts to add correct ]s for "esoteric" languages.
* ] will make piped links ] (or ]).
* ] adds an ] function that straightens curly quotes per MOS. That's right! Such a module was only made in the 14th year of AutoEd's existence! ] away!
* Frequently link to Misplaced Pages on your websites yet find generating CC-BY credits to be such a hassle? Say no more! ] will automatically do it for ya and copy the credit to yer clipboard.
* ], a spiritual successor (i.e. fork) to ] 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.
* ]
** ]: 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!
** ]: Hide specific users, perhaps ], from the Watchlist and Recent Changes.
** ] makes you see the vital article topicon on ].
* ] adds the ] 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."
* ]
** ] fixes formatting of new articles.
** ] quickly and easily closes good article nominations.
** ] displays whether or not a mainspace page is marked as reviewed.
** ] tries to add the correct speciesbox, category, taxonbar, and stub template to species articles.
* ] and ] replaces all rasterized SVGs with their original SVG codes for your loading pleasures. Tell us which one is better!
* ] adds a button to highlight all unreferenced paragraphs in reds, and can even do it automatically.
* Still hate ]'s floating TOC? ] might make you give it a try.
* Quite a bit of pages at ] either exist now or got removed. ] automatically hides those.
* ]'s ] generates a gallery of images for a given subject on any Wikimedia project utilizing ]. Images can then be added as needed.
* ]
** ] displays page information at the top of the page, directly below the title.
** ] 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 ] that uses text links instead of icons.
* ...and any more, all available at ].

* ]]] ]: ] adds a different padlock topicon for each level of move-protection.
* ] can help you mark talk pages of inactive users with {{tl|not around}}.
* ] automatically tags talk pages of pages you've copied between with {{tl|copied}}.
* ] adds text labels (which default to emoji) to user links that label the user's usergroups. Wow, that's a mouthful
* ] adds a Twinkle-style dialog for alerting users about contentious topics.
* ] automatically tags articles translated from other places with appropriate attribution.
* In the defense of the 'pedia, the humble ] adds the ] status to the toolbar.
* Tired of staring at a bunch of filtering text and waiting for darn filter logs to load? ] can parse abuse filters into a visual syntax tree and evaluate locally on-demand!
* ] 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 ] really quick add to contribution lists three buttons awesome
* ] is a quick and easy way of responding to {{tl|help me}} requests.
* Per ], ] converts all citation titles to... title case, unfortunately.


*] add links to the "warn" and "disallow" messages in ]s.
*] adds an option to use ] (which ] also uses) instead of ] to generate citations in the Visual Editor.
*] 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 ]! Oh, the humanity!
*]] ''(pictured)'' provides a nice, integrated interface to do some twinkley tasks such as copyvio detection, CSD tagging, and viewing the most recent diff.
*]] has quite the aesthetically pleasing scripts, all made in ].
**] is a replacement for the unmaintained ] and processes Redirects for Creation and Categories for Creation requests.
**] stops the "undo" button from taking you to another page while providing a text box to provide a reason for the revert.
**] ''(pictured)'' adds a much better interface for editing and redirects, including categorization, for which valid categories are dictated by ].
**] helps process technical requested moves without being able to actually move them.
*]] ''(pictured)'' adds a flyout after the watchlist star on userspace pages that displays the common information you might use about a user.
*], 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.
*] 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.
*] highlights phrases commonly used in spammed and POV'd paragraphs.
*]] ''(pictured)'' generates a wikitext-formatted diff view of any changes you've made that you can copy and paste anywhere.
*] adds portlet links to tell you where a category for an article comes from and supports those from template transclusions.
*] creates mass ] nominations.
*] highlights footnote spacing errors in red.
*]'s ] adds some nice, li'l buttons next to paragraphs to edit their wikitext with a minimal interface.

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

====Appearance-ricing====
*] adds the redirect target to all redirects. For all the ] haters. (Do these exist?)
*]: Remember the "strike blocked usernames" gadget? Now you can use a red, dotted line to highlight rangeblocks and global locks!
*] replaces the link with 💬, which is some sort of rainy cloud I guess?{{jokes}}
*]] ''(pictured)'' has some styles to overhaul your Vector 2022 experience. It reduces padding everywhere, and makes the top bar animation faster.
**] 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.
*] is a spiritual successor to ]. 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.
*] reinserts the inline table of contents to pages under Vector 2022.
*For the paranoid: ] replaces your username at the top of the screen with the generic "User page" text. Remember, it is your duty to persuade everyone that ].
*] moves the Page Tools menu to the left and makes it float along with the table of contents.
*] makes pressing {{key press|Tab}} toggle the visibility of the tiny links next to section headings.. Not a great name, eh?
*] adds a button on top of the floating ToC to expand or collapse subheadings.

====Permissions required!====
*]: A script to <em>post</em> the picture of the day. A powerful upgrade for your mop.
*]]
**] provides a dialog box for easy input of reasons while blocking users.
**] ''(pictured)'' provides a dialog box to customize ] edit summaries and does them without reloading the page. Seriously, why doesn't MediaWiki already do this?
*] automates (nearly) all the work needed to post a DYK hook.

====QOL shortcuts====

*] lets you edit any file that is an SVG, straight from the file page.
*] adds a portlet link to enable a removal shortcut of faulty reports from ].
*] helps you destroy webhost-ers' hopes and dreams with a user-friendly dialog box.
*] adds a "link" button right after the "reply" button while the WMF struggles to reach feature parity with ].
*] does exactly what you'd think it does, but in Wikitext.
* ] adds a shortcut at the top to edit your /Status subpage while providing a pre-made template.
*]: What a mouthful! Yet all it does (no offense) is add another {{Button|Clear}} button on top of the Lua module debug console.
* ] adds a link to ] next to the normal watchlist.
*]
**] adds a paste handler to upload the pasted image to Wikimedia Commons.
**] tries to detect violations of ] and fix them as much as possible.
*] automatically adds unit conversions of ] in brackets after their uses per ].
* ]
** ] adds a portlet link to search for uploadable flickr images about the subject.
** ] adds a portlet link when on Category pages to go to a random page in the current category.
* ] 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!

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 25

Hey there, welcome to the 25th issue of the Misplaced Pages 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) 04:00, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

Featured script

inline-diff-inline-patrol by 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 focus on the backlog...

Updated scripts

  • After the RIIJ(rewrite it in jQuery) 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!

Featured script

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.
