// ---------------------------------------  --------------------------------------- //
// ----------------------------------- Credits ------------------------------------ //
//
// This script was created by modifying the following scripts:
//      [[User:Lightmouse/monobook.js/script.js]]
//      [[Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Formatter]]
//
// This script is intended to be complimentary to these scripts with very little
// to no duplication of function.

// ---------------------------------- Disclaimer ---------------------------------- //
//
// Use at your own risk and make sure you check the edit changes before you save
//
// Let me know [[User_Talk:Plastikspork]] if you find bugs!

// ----------------------------- Installing the Script ---------------------------- //
//
// (1) Open/Create your USERNAME/monobook.js page, where USERNAME is your username.
//     A quick way to get there is to go to your user page, then append
//     '/monobook.js' to the end of the URL.
//
// (2) Put the following command on your monobook.js page:
//          importScript('User:Plastikspork/date.js');
//
// (3) Save the page and reload it by following the instructions at the top of your
//     monobook.js page.  For example, Ctrl+Shift+R in Firefox.

// ------------------------------- Using the Script ------------------------------- //
//
// (1) Open an article which you would like to edit, and you should see a bunch of
//     'Spork' buttons in your 'toolbox' on the left side of your browser.
//
// (2) Click on one of the Spork buttons and the script will run, performing edits
//     by pattern matches.  When it is finished, it will show you the changes and
//     add some comments to the edit summary.  It is up to you to accept these
//     changes as is by clicking 'Save page', modify the changes by further editing
//     the edit form, or reject by leaving the page.
//
//  Note: The script will run very slowly on very large pages, but it does always
//        eventually complete in my experience.

// ----------------------------- Current Functionality ---------------------------- //
