toggleRevDel: issue and alternative
Latest comment: 14 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion
Hi, sorry for not using the suggested template since I wanted to talk about a couple of things. First, your toggleRevDel script (code) will break if you uncheck "Enable jump to accessibility links" in preferences->Appearances: the hidden (in most skins) div#jump-to-nav will disappear). Second, you might be interested in looking at the alternate approach, more CSS-oriented, which I added to our local ru:MediaWiki:Sysop.js. Something like this:
functionsysopHideRevDel(){sysRevDelCSS=appendCSS('span.mw-revdelundel-link, #pagehistory input[type="checkbox"], button.mw-history-revisiondelete-button {display:none}')sysRevDelCSS=sysRevDelCSS.sheet||sysRevDelCSSaddContentSubLink('javascript:sysRevDelCSS.disabled=!sysRevDelCSS.disabled;void 0','RevDel Interface')}if(/* conditions for: History page or Contributions or Logs */)sysopHideRevDel()
toggleRevDel doesn't actually rely on div#jump-to-nav to work. I just needed a place to insert the CSS settings. I randomly choose div#jump-to-nav but I've changed it append to the always present body now. I use JavaScript to toggle a class but for speed efficiency I choose CSS for the actual visibility. (it's faster to add a class to the parant element then to add display:none to all list-items (which sysops can limit up to 5000 items)). With that in mind and the power of the 'cascading' in "Cascading Style Sheets" it works very speedy this way. Please let me know if it works now (refresh your cache and check that it's version 0.3 now). Thanks again, –Krinkletalk23:33, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
Yes it does, you missed another instance in the code. What I tried to explain above is that JavaScript gives you the power to disable appended CSS, so you don't need to add extra class. -AlexSm03:42, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
I forgot to report back here, but two weeks ago I fixed the issue with div#jump-to-nav. Today I've further looked into the <link>'s "disable" attribute and updated the script. To work around this issue the way you described above. Also it will now work on history, log and contributions pages. Thanks a lot ! –Krinkletalk02:20, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

But not in the diff-view if MagicDiff is enabled

First of all, RTRC is really, really great!!! its fantastic! This is how all of commons should be. moving away from all this static stuff to more dynamic tools, reducing the amount of clicks to do very basic stuff! Great work! thank you! I have been using RTRC for a bit now and there would be one thing which could save lots of time. Often some IP's do about plus minus 30 good edits. After about patrolling 5 of them, I can tell that all the others will be okay too. So it would be really great if one could have an option to automatically patroll all edits from this IP for the next 2 hours (or so). Regards Amada44 (talk) 07:19, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi Amada44,
A few years ago there was a toolserver tool called "vPopSpeed" by henna. It had the ability to mass-patrol all edits on a particular page after showing the difference between the last unpatrolled revision and the current revision. That tool got broken through the years and because of a change in the software can't be repaired in it's current form. I'm planning on making a tool similar to old vPopSpeed. The above feauture suggestion will most likely be realized in that tool. Once that's done I will look into making it usable externally for other tools to use. So that you can click a link within RTRC to that tool. Since you've requested this here I'll move this higher up my list. Thanks again, –Krinkletalk08:41, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
that would be a big improvement and really great! But mostly an IP doesn't do more than 1 to 3 edits on one page. I meant something going a bit further. Often I see an IP which categorizes some stuff and does like 30 or more edits on different pages. It is very easy to see if an IP is a vandal or not. So it would be great to be able to define: this IP is not a vandal, mark all edits of this IP for the next two hours as patrolled. This would save soooooo much time! Amada44 (talk) 07:07, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi,
Sorry for the late response. The "vPopSpeed" tool would be to patrol all edits by anyone on a single page, this is handy when you know the latest version is good, but many stuff has been going on on a page and patrol it all in one go.
The feature you are suggesting in the reply above is actually a lot easier to implement I think. I'll come back on this one later. –Krinkletalk14:29, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
The first step towards this has been implemented in version 0.7.2 (clear your cache, check the version in the dark grey bar on top), enabling to query based on User. –Krinkletalk20:56, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Done - Timeframing was already a feature but the Userfilter has been introduced in version 0.7.2; and MassPatrol has been introduced in version 0.8.0 enabling you to pick a user (optoinally a timeframe aswell) and while having MassPatrol enabled patrolling them all without moving in mussle.

When viewing blank pages for indic scripts, the first character for the pages list doesn't render correctly even though the namespace names render correctly.
In chrome, I get three replacement characters (U+FFFD) followed by the diacritic which should be on the first character appearing as ित्र for example(should be चित्र correctly, note that even though the diacritic ि appears before the character च, it is written after the character itself).

For चित्र, this becomes त्रि.
In Firefox, I get two replacement characters (U+FFFD) followed by ित्र as in chrome.

In opera, I get two substitute characters (U+2426) followed by ित्र as in chrome.

Implement a function for use in the callback that creates or appends to the wpSummary, since that is by far the most common usage of the callback function.

There is this tool which makes it possible to select articles from just one category and the categories below. Is it possible to include that option into this tool as well?
I see how this can be handy in some cases, however it's not exactly the scope of RTRC which is to patrol new pages, edits or both. As new pages aren't categorized yet (or atleast they should be checked during patrol) it's hard to be able to use that. And for edits, it would be cool to have a list of recent changes to articles in a certain category but that's already in that tool. You may not know this but Erwin's tool has an option to hide patrolled edits with a checkbox. Ofcourse RTRC has the advantage of being on-the-fly and all it's features like the Usertools, MassPatrol and Userfilter; however it is due to technical limitations not possible at the moment to build in category support as this is this an option in the MediaWiki software.
On the toolserver these limitations don't exist, however the reason RTRC can't be on the toolserver is because patrolling requires one to be logged in and from the toolserver it is not allowed to let users login with their Wikimedia credentials.

When patrolling it is possible to cluster all edits made on one page. It gives i.e. the result "► Pagename (7 edits)". Is it possible to include that option into this tool as well? It would be great if they can be marked in a way "mass patrol" does (or all at once)
Yes that is possible. Although it's not perfected yet. Check out my Tools page. There you will find "Get Top RC Pages" and "SpeedPagePatrol". The first generates a list of pagenames on a wiki that have many unpatrolled edits. You can then click the link and patrol them all at once with "SpeedPagePatrol".
If you want to do it on a page that is not in the "Top" list you can try to edit the link:
http://toolserver.org/~krinkle/SpeedPagePatrol.php?wiki=wikishortname&title=pagetitle (without Namespace:)&namespace=namespace number
It's indeed a good idea to insert it RTRC, preferably with as least clicks possible. Thanks for developing all these tools!. Davin09:17, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Davin, you can add a username to the Userfilter with a single click. To do so hover with your mouse over the username in the feed below and click "[+filter]". This will copy/past the numername to "Userfilter" and click "Apply" for you. –Krinkletalk23:19, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

[OTHER]: Questions about CUP

Commons Upload Patrol
I have several question about CUP. For example, in this edit, three changes were made. I don't understand the motivation behind any of them. The parts of the source that were edited were generated by Commons itself as part of the upload process. Why is CUP fixing code generated by Mediawiki itself? Shouldn't such fixes be filed as bugs against Mediawiki or, alternatively, have some sort of addition that makes these before before the first version is saved? Also, where can I see the translation associated with "int:filedesc" and "int:license-header"? They are used like templates but I cannot see them when I try to go to the URL for them. Thanks.
Except for Commons specific things everything you see is centrally localized in MediaWiki itself. Which can be followed on TranslateWiki. These messages are stored in the MediaWiki:-namespace. Unless a page with such name is manually created the default value from the software is used. This is the case for most messages. Think for example the links in the Sidebar, the text on buttons, the tabs, the labels on Special:Preferences etc., the entire interface is localized, check out Preferences with user language set to "de" (German). For example the label "Basisinformationen" is defined on MediaWiki:Prefs-info/de, from the English "Basic information"[14]. It is possible to use these labels and messages inside an article/page by calling "int" (internationalization) and passing the message key, which then returns the message in the current users' language. Another function that is called like this is "lc" (lowercase), {{lc:MeDiAWiKI}} => mediawiki.
Due to an ongoing discussion and a technical bug it is currently not possible to make the upload script put this on the page directly, which is why the clean up bots on Commons take these kind of things at the same time during other tasks (such as tagging uncategorized files or find/replacing something). Becuase as patroller we're on the page anyway and often find a mistake (like the wrong dateformat) then I edit the page fix the dateformat and the CUP-script replaces the headings and other commons translation things at the same time, example.

Thanks to User:Matanya for suggesting this on IRC. The ability for callbacks in some of RTRC events would be nice.
For example the diff-event (to insert buttons like fancy rollback or user warnings).
/* In RTRC */this.callHooks('diffLoad',[diffId,pageName,generalAppInfo]);/* In third party script */if(typofRTRC!=='undefined'){RTRC.addHooks('diffLoad',myFunction);}
At enWS we have been using Splarka's ye olde ajax patroller en:s:MediaWiki:Gadget-LinkPatroller.js. When we use that, it patrols the page (removes link) and stays on the same page, rather than to progress to the "you have patrolled" page. At enWS as we have a lot of progressive edits for pages, it is quite useful behaviour for our site. Is there any means/thought/scope to replicating that behaviour in this script?
I could misunderstand your question, but from what I understand I'm not sure what you're asking. AjaxPatrolLinks does exactly what you ask for (patrolling an edit while staying on the page you were, without this extra "Mark as patrolled" page). Have you tried it ? –Krinkletalk08:36, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
Yes, I have tried it locally loading the script via monobook.js using the resource loader as per your instructions, and I have now set it up as a gadget en:s:Special:Preferences:#preftab-8 and I cannot get it to function by staying on the page, it keeps moving to the Marked as patrolled. Addendum. I tried from the secure and the standard login, from my two boxen that run Firefox, same result. Suggestions? billinghurstsDrewth10:44, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Currently there's a fixed limit to avoid hanging/crashing the browser if searches return 100s of files (ie. a phrase that happened to be in the key of one or more interface messages and thus return matches from (number of languages * number of key matches) number of files.
The above scenario was described in an earlier bug ticket and as a temporary fix I hard-limited it to 50.

In the realtime recent changes I think it would be better to mark pages that does not exist with the "a.new" class. This will in Vector and Monobook turn the link to a red color indicating that the page does not exist. This help to show if the User making an edit has got a user-page or talk-page yet. This indicates if its a new user or not.
By default the MediaWiki API doesn't provide this information. For the benefit of speed I rather not make many additional requests to the API just to retrieve this information, this in return to preserve close to real-time polling of the events to improve simultaneous patrolling by multiple users.
However I agree that this would be a nice feature to have and could potentially save a bit of time. I will keep this in mind for the next major revision. –Krinkletalk 14:26, 8 May 2011

On Commons: The next-link next to the patrol-status (which goes to ts and then you are redirected back to commons) should respect the current server or at least protocol. This should be possible reading the referrer on ts.
On the Toolserver list: It should be also possible to change all links in the list of unpatrolled/new uploads (on toolserver) to https. Finally, it would be nice if next to each user-name there would be a link that I can click to filter by this user. When attempting to copy&paste you have the problem that the page sometimes is reloaded before you could click or images are loaded and the whole content moves around.

Hi. I have a suggestion. What do you think about a script (something like Cat-a-lot) for changing category of multiple articles? For example, if you want to rename a category with 200 articles you need to change manually the category name for all 200 articles. A script like Cat-a-lot would be very useful, IMO.
Seems more suited for a bot than a gadget or user script (since you'd have to leave your browser open for a while and it would blow up your contributions overview). On Commons this is done by SieBot (Rename a category / commands) –Krinkletalk22:09, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Before trying this out. I would like to know if it is possible to use this extension together with magic words? The feature I'm looking for is a button that creates a link to a new subpage. This by utilizing the magic word:

and a dummy name for the new subpage. It would in my case speed up the creation of links to new subpages.

Indeed, [[/subpage|label]] will work too in that case. Although be careful, since subpages are not supported in all namespaces.

anonymous users cannot have a userpage, so a link to it is misleading. The script should use mw.util.isIPv4Address and mw.util.isIPv6Address to check if a user is anonymous, and then link to "Special:Contributions/123.456.7.8" instead of "User:123.456.7.8".

I didn't want to create a github account, so I'll just post here. RTRC does not load for me on User:Krinkle/RTRC here on Meta, but seems fine on other wikis (e.g., commons, frwiki). It begins to load, and stops when the content is a visibly empty pink element. There are no relevant JS errors, warning, or logs.
Thanks! I couldn't reproduce a "visibly empty pink element", however I did notice a weird conflict with the sidebar in Firefox. This has been resolved in v0.9.7 earlier this week, which I've promoted from beta to stable just now. –Krinkletalk23:05, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
[MINOR SUGGESTION]: Window/Tab title notification

Real-Time Recent Changes (v0.8.8-beta as of 2012-02-23)
The RTRC tool is really a masterpiece of JavaScript here. I have a minor suggestion: I've mostly got the tool in a new tab in my browser. Would it be able to change the tab title to a sort of notification like: "(1 pending changes) RTRC: simplewiki" whenever an edit arrives? That would be very useful.

Following Firefox browser u/grade to V27.0.1 RTRC has stopped working. It momentarily displays the user page as before but options/apply does not appear and the page remains blank with just a RTRC page link top left. I've come to rely heavily on this tool. Cracking piece of kit it is and suddenly I haven't got it. Any ideas for a quick fix? --Sabretache (talk) 14:24, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
A few hours later and its working again. Connectivity issue?? - Anyway, sorry for false alarm. Please delete this if you wish --Sabretache (talk) 20:11, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

RTRC
Going to nl:Gebruiker:Krinkle/RTRC, expecting to have RTRC start up, nothing happens (i.e., I see the same as when I'm not logged in, even though my common.js did not change since previous attempts when it did work). Clicking the "Installeer" button, results in the error message "Het is op deze pagina niet mogelijk om paragrafen te bewerken". The tool works normally when retrieved through http://nl.wikipedia.org rather than https://nl.wikipedia.org
Some more checking makes me think it probably has to do with https. Could it be that the tool does not work/often fails when using https rather than http to connect with Wikipedia? - Andre Engels (talk) 11:38, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
RTRC has supported HTTPS since before April 2013, so I'm not sure what issues there might have been at the time. Recently, RTRC has been reimplemented using more modern technologies, so whatever issues there might have been are hopefully resolved now. Be sure to let me know if you run into this problem again. Thanks! –Krinkletalk20:57, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
[BUG]: Fix function test
Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Woldn't be better to use jQuery.isFunction( callbackFunc ) instead of "typeof callbackFunc == 'function'"?
BTW: when I opened this page in http to add this comment, I got two edit-intros above my edit box. Do you know how to fix that?
Helder 20:34, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
Done. I removed the typeof check in the latest revision. The double editnotice was triggered by manually including it in the url, which is redundant since it is automatically included from /Editnotice. Removing it from the url fixes it. –Krinkletalk00:41, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
[FEATURE]: Add option to Show/Hide redirects
Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
I think it would be useful to have an indication of wich pages are redirects in the list created by your script, and also an option to show/hide them, as we have on Special:WhatLinksHere.
Thanks. I have it working for one, and now I will look to build for more. Some of the buttons that I will be creating for enWS would fit comfortably into the "Advanced" section, with the new script is there a means to place something into the subsidiary toolbars?
Addendum, I am also trying to get it to run some of the js from proofread.js and I am presuming that it is the callback function (it isn't documented), but the useless toad at my end of the keyboard cannot work it out. Thanks. billinghurstsDrewth12:51, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
Hey, Krinkle. I'm not sure if it is a problem; perhaps it's something already predicted or maybe I just did something wrong. When I used RTRC on en.wiki it worked correctly, but all Twinkle tabs just disappeared and I could not use it. Is it normal?
Did they not appear within RTRC, or did they stop working on regular diff pages? If they aren't appearing within RTRC, that's normal (Twinkle only adds them when a diff page loads, RTRC is not a diff page, and is flipping through them dynamically without refreshing) and will be possible once issue #9 is resolved). If they stopped working outside RTRC, please let me know. –Krinkletalk00:43, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
[FEATURE]: Watchlist

RTRC
A user requested a feature similar to the RTRC for use on Watchlists. Would it be feasible? Maybe the current RTRC could have an option to filter "watched pages only".
The RecentChanges API doesn't provide this ability, however once RTRC switches to using a live stream instead of API polling (e.g. wikitech:RCStream), it will be able to do client-side filtering based on your watchlist (and not just your watchlist, we can use any list, e.g. the CVN Watchlist, or a certain category or intersection that you could build on the spot). –Krinkletalk02:16, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

I tried this script on Minecraft Wiki, but it comes out really weird. And I can barely click the buttons, and it is impossible to type in the boxes. Do you mind making a version which hides the User and talk tabs, and maybe even the user options type thing at the top? Thanks!!!

It could be useful to store some preferences with MediaWiki's Options API; custom settings should be stored on Meta-Wiki and retrieved from there, starting with userjs- and with max. 255 bytes. For example, userjs-RTRC-filter-anons = 1 etc.

Global_SUL
I appear to be a new enWP user, but this is an account I have usuerped formall;y as an alternate account. I have, I hope, followed the steps User:Krinkle/Tools/Global_SUL, but don't discount idiocy on my part!
But the instruction line: "Now browse to "Special:BlankPage/globalsul" and follow the instructions." implies that there are instructions to follow. So I am rather lost. My home wiki is the English Wikipedia.
As you can imagine, I do not visit Meta much. I have arrived here after a conversation at en:User_talk:Timtrent#Your_usurp_request. That is my normal talk page and the very best place to contact me.
If I am being stupid/naive/newbie, I am not going to be very surprised. What I woudl like to know, please, is "Have I done it right?"

InsertWikiEditorButton
perhaps it would be helpful to find informations about special characters for linefeed etc (I found out that is \n) or a link to a page explaning that
for example I used InsertWikiEditorButton in de:User:Kai.pedia/common.js for several description-buttons (inserting a wikipedia-link around the marked word
in several languages)
or a button named {{}} (inserting e new description line/language - for this a looked for the linefeed-character...)

Hello Krinkle, first I would like to thank you very much for this tool. It's been many years that WMCA is trying to deal with this issue for anon users. Without a cookie French visitors were always falling back on the English version of the page...
@Benoit Rochon: Hi! Thanks for using my gadget. You almost got it. AnonymousI18N.js depends on wpAvailableLanguages being defined in "MediaWiki:Common.js" on your wiki first. Right now, the following error is shown in the browser console when viewing ca.wikimedia.org:

Global SUL
Hi. I've used the Global SUL for my account MABot but it does somewhat "fail" on ~200 wikis. When running it, I set my browser to accept cookies and the like; but it still continues ignoring a set of wikis. Tested on Chrome and Firefox with the same result. Maybe the script should force to autocreate on those wikis. I can provide the list of wikis where the script didn't managed to create the account if desired. Thank you!
