Wikipedia talk:Scripts

message: For the mIRC script that allows you to click on Wikilinks, is there any way to make the links open in an already open tab of an already open window? Right now it opens a completely new window; I know it is possible because before I foolishly "upgraded" the script to this new version, there was a version that worked the way I want...I just don't know how to do it now.

message: I am currently, together with User:Sj, establishing the page Wikipedia:Tools. The goal is to given an overview of tools for browsing and editing the wikipedia. I would like to suggest to interlinkt Wikipedia:Scripts more closely with the new page, and hope that we manage to coordinate the contents of the two pages in a sensible way. greets, -- 217.82.181.205 23:37, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: This script provides, to my knowledge, greater functionality with less processing than the long, inefficient script currently in place. In accordance, I have moved Wikilinks to the top of the mIRC link scripts section and refactored the description text appropriately.
If there are any problems with this, please let me know. CXI 01:51, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wikilinks - supersedes older scripts 

message: This script seems to be very buggy. When trying to load it into Silverex X-Chat 2 on Windows XP, it crashes as soon as it encounters a WikiLink. Can someone else check it? Cctoide 21:17, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I have one suggested (optional) variant. Urls often get ruined if they are the last item in a line of text. A simple isin can prevent this (for the rare times when someone includes a url). Changes in red:
 on *:INPUT:#: { 
   if (/* iswm $1) || (http:// isin $1-) { $input }
   elseif (($asc($right($1-,1)) > 96) && ($asc($right($1-,1)) < 123)) || (($asc($right($1-,1)) > 64) && ($asc($right($1-,1)) < 91))  || ($right($1-,1) isnum) {
     msg $active $+($upper($left($1-,1)),$right($1-,-1),.) 
     halt
   }
 }
Now, someone could of course do a search for the last space, and see if "http" proceeded it, or other more complex methods, but this is quick and easy and mostly effective. Additional parameters to seek "ftp://", "gopher://", "www.", and "ftp." (the supported mirc prefixes for auto-url clicking) could be added as well, but are less used. Thoughts?

message: The unicode scripts at Wikipedia:Unicode_numeric_converter_script#Unicode_numeric_converter_scripts were added when Unicode was inserted into Wikipedia using HTML entities.  That is no longer necessary, nor is it likely as we have charmaps, visual editor, etc, etc.  I suggest we move them from this page back to whence they came for historical purposes (Wikipedia:Unicode numeric converter script), carefully attributing the authorship of changes/additions.

message: The Wikitext/source editor appears to have changed a bit recently (see 1). Instead of being contained in a box, the wikitext fills up the whole page, and also there is no box at the bottom for the edit summary. When I try to run a script on a page (such as User:GregU/dashes.js), the source editor simply loads (as seen in 2) without implementing the changes. Another script I use is User:Ohconfucius/script/MOSNUM dates.js, and occasionally (as seen in 1) the buttons do not load up (in 2 the buttons are seen in the bottom left hand corner, under “Wikidata item”, but they are missing in 1), and when they do load up, they do not work. I believe this may have something to do with the new source editor, because I had no problem using scripts on the old one. Furthermore, if you look at my non-automated contributions to the article namespace in the past couple of weeks, virtually all of them are tagged with “2017 source edit”. I’ve checked my preferences and it doesn’t seem there is anything in them that has switched my account to edit using this editor, and I don’t know how to switch back to the old one. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there anything I can do so that it will let me use scripts again? LinguistunEinsuno 05:30, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Pinging , perhaps they might be able to help. LinguistunEinsuno 08:24, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it is most likely due to the wikitext source editor. AFAIK, the MOSNUM script is functioning properly and hasn't been changed since 6 August 2017‎. The dashes script has been unchanged since 2014 (other than a minor change in May). Another user of my script has noted a failure with WSE. Try disabling it and see if the script becomes normal once again. -- Ohc ¡digame! 20:44, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: As it's a beta, the developer will be aware there could be issues with the feature.
