=== ] Featured script ===
: ''''']''''' by ''']''' is this issue's featured script. For whatever reason, ] in ] if we ] for it in ]. Nardog to the rescue! This script has a ton of options to satisfy almost anyone who wishes to use better refnames than ].

===] 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 ].

RefRenamer by Nardog is this issue's featured script. For whatever reason, the foundation will only give us better reference names in VisualEditor if we wish for it in 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 ":0" and ":418".
