2024 Othello

Nice pictures:[1] Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:01, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oooh, yeah, very nice. Almost Barry Lyndon-esque (such a pity Kubrick never did Shakespeare). Xover (talk) 05:53, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I managed to not see the modern clothing until I got to Nwosu with the BFG. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 06:54, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I thought Ola Ince deserved a WP-article. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 19:21, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 25

Hey there, welcome to the 25th issue of the Wikipedia 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) 04:01, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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...

Improve a script

Many of our favorite scripts such as Fred Gandt/userResourceManager, Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts and Bradv/Superlinks haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
Elominius/media timer works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
We want...

...watchlist notices support for Aaron Liu/Watchlyst Greybar Unsin
...a tool to automatically fix CAT:BROKENREFs, preferably a fork/addition to TheJJJunk/ARA
...a fix/fork of DannyS712/SectionRemover to make it work

Requested scripts

Automatically delink all duplicate links within the same section per MOS:LINKONCE.
Collapsible parentheses in body text, which had a ridiculously long original request title and was accidentally moved to WP:US/L by me. Oops!
An easily configurable script to add a link to the #p-vector-user-menu-overflow portlet with a name, target, and icon. This one should be a relatively easier one. I would do it myself, but I'm too busy rotting away on Celeste (video game).
Preview an edit under the mobile viewport on desktop, with perhaps MediaWiki:Gadget-mobile-sidebar.js used for inspiration.
...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests. Jeeputer and Nardog have been the most active on the page in the past five months.

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!

Newly maintained scripts

Aaron Liu has created Duplinks from Evad37/duplinks-alt; his fork adds a config variable to automatically highlight duplicate links on the loading of any page where the portlet link would've appeared.
BilledMammal/Move+ expands the powers of User:TheTVExpert/rmCloser to include common procedures done with the art of moving pages.
On a holiday? Somewhere? Gotta learn ye ABCs? CanonNi/StatusSetter puts the fun into Enterprisey/StatusChanger with a quadruple more statuses. That starts with a C!
In our continuing trend(s?), DaxServer/DiscussionCloser forks DannyS712/DiscussionCloser to make it work. Sadly, this is the end of our lexicographic combo.
Andrybak:
- user-tabs-on-contribs is a fork of User:Enterprisey/user-tabs-on-contribs for Vector 2022.
- Archiver is a fork of User:Enterprisey/archiver with automatic calculation of the destination archive subpage and with support for non-Vector skins.
Quite coincidentally, Elli/OneClickArchiver has been forked from User:Equazcion/OneClickArchiver to work with the mw:Heading HTML changes.
FlightTime/OneClickArchiver forks the same thing but also no longer nonsensically prepends {{clear}} to page archives.
- There are now over 7 OneClickArchivers, legacy or not.

New scripts

Padlock for semi−move protection−designed by User:Chaotic Enby
Aaron Liu: MoveTop adds a different padlock topicon for each level of move-protection.
Andrybak/Not around can help you mark talk pages of inactive users with {{not around}}.
BrandonXLF/AddCopied automatically tags talk pages of pages you've copied between with {{copied}}.
Bugghost/UserRoleIndicator adds text labels (which default to emoji) to user links that label the user's usergroups. Wow, that's a mouthful
CanonNi/AlertAssistant adds a Twinkle-style dialog for alerting users about contentious topics.
CFA/AttributeTranslation automatically tags articles translated from other places with appropriate attribution.
In the defense of the 'pedia, the humble Jeeputer/defconIndicator adds the WP:WIKIDEFCON status to the toolbar.
Tired of staring at a bunch of filtering text and waiting for darn filter logs to load? Msz2001/AbuseFilter analyzer can parse abuse filters into a visual syntax tree and evaluate locally on-demand!
Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences finds references with the same link and displays the number of them along with a button to add the {{duplicated citations}} tag under the references section. Being lazy has never been easier!
fastest gun on the net Ponor/really-quick-block really quick add to contribution lists three buttons awesome
TheTechie/Help Me Tool is a quick and easy way of responding to {{help me}} requests.
Per MOS:CONFORM, ZKang123/TitleCaseConverter converts all citation titles to... title case, unfortunately.

[2]. Nothing really new (except the novel by Jodi Picoult), but I thought it was a good read. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:13, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Gareth Roberts is a TV scriptwriter and novelist who has worked on Doctor Who and Coronation Street." And he debunks the nonsense with as much aplomb (and more verve) as Stanley Wells. Yes, very interesting read. Xover (talk) 15:21, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She may not have been Shakespeare, but in this imagening she's quite a literary critic. I've seen more about Lanier as Shakespeare, there may be potential for a separate SAQ-article here. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:41, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination for deletion of Template:Spf

Template:Spf has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the entry on the Templates for discussion page. House Blaster (talk • he/they) 19:49, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for being so polite about this!

Do you also agree {{Spfref}} should be deleted? (I realize I asked you at the TFD, but it was already closed so you can't respond there :D) Best, House Blaster (talk • he/they) 02:39, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@HouseBlaster: Well, my half-finished, abandoned, and undocumented templates are obviously special snowflakes that should be placed under glass, on a pedestal, in a museum where the adoring masses can admire and meditate on their beauty and perfection at a safe distance. But since the project seems inexplicably short on the special expensive glass required for such display it is probably best to delete to keep the unwashed mitts of the filthy peons off them. :)

{{spfref}} was created at the same time for a paired purpose and the deletion rationale for {{spf}} applies equally to {{spfref}}, so I obviously support deleting it too. Feel free to drop a {{G7}} on it (because I'm too lazy to do it myself). Xover (talk) 07:42, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
