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!
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.
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).
After the ＲＩＩＪ 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!
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.
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
Occasionally the Wikidata item for an article explicitly has "unknown value" in the coordinates property for a good reason, such as Anderson Site (Franklin, Tennessee), where the site's location is redacted. Trying to use the script on that page doesn't come up with any notification and generates an error in the browser console. It'd be good if it instead came up with a notification saying something like "Unable to find coordinates", to avoid confusion.
(As a side note, while I'm here - I put a feature request on the script's talk page before realising that you probably don't look at that page. I'll put future stuff on here instead :P) Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 00:57, 7 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Suntooooth: Hi. I will add a notification saying that the location is restricted (as said on the Wikidata item for that article). Should we remove the coord missing tag in these kinds of articles? An should we have another tag to note that this article can not have coordinates (If there's already no such tag)? I can create that template if necessary.
I've subscribed to the script's talk page and I saw your message there, but was not able to reply as I was at work. I will work on that features.
I think the best option would be to just remove the coord missing tag, but I'm not sure. As for making a new template, if you're interested in doing that I'd recommend asking over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geographical coordinates if that would be something people want. Also, the wording of the notification should probably be something like the more generic "Unable to find coordinates", rather than specifically saying they're restricted, as there's probably other scenarios where the property has an unknown value.

@Suntooooth: I will consult the WikiProject about the template, thanks.
