Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 19

News and updates associated with user scripts from the past month (December 2020).

Hello everyone and welcome to the 19th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter:

Scripts Submit your new/improved script here

Enterprisey's script-installer, a gadget that makes it easier to install scripts, is this month's featured script

Enterprisey's copy-section-link adds popups to section headers which has an appropriate wikilink and external link to the section.

DannyS712's FindBlacklistEntry can be used to figure out which line(s) in either the local or global spamblacklist prevent a particular url from being added.

Nardog's CodeEditorAssist allows customizing the code editor, including changing the color theme and enabling live autocompletion.

Cobaltcigs's IllWill allows searches wikidata.org for foreign-language sitelinks, to populate {{ill}} and replace plain red links.

Twinkle has made a number of improvements, most notably full support for expiring watchlist items.

Evad37's Signpost Publishing Script is now at version 2.4.2, with changes including a fix for calculating the size of pages with files.

Evad37's MoveToDraft is now at version 2.5.1, with changes including:

• checks for move conflicts and better options if move fails
• the addition of {{Drafts moved from mainspace}} after moves
• updating the default move log and notification texts to be more in line with WP:DRAFTIFY

Enterprisey's cv-revdel now handles failures more cleanly, including reporting failures caused by the spam blacklist.

Bradv's Notepad.js script has been updated with new styles and a new launch button.

A beta version of XFDcloser is available for testing, and brings a new user interface for dialogs and some preferences for customization.

Open tasks

• Voting in the m:Community Wishlist Survey 2021 is ongoing until December 21, 2020. There are 15 proposals in the "bots and gadgets" category that may be of interest.

Pending requests

• A script to help list discussions at WP:ANRFC (request)
• A script to allow undoing edits despite conflicting intermediary edits (request)
• ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

Miscellaneous

• The Watchlist Expiry feature worked on by the Community Tech team has been enabled on Wikipedia. For scripts that include watching or unwatching pages, developers may want to update their code to take advantage of the new functionality. See the documentation on mediawiki.org.
• As noted in the prior issue, Enterprisey's links-in-logs script has now been implemented as part of MediaWiki core. By my count, this is his third script that was replaced by implementing the code in MediaWiki core or an extension, along with link-section-edits and abusefilter-hide-search. Additionally, his reply-link script is being converted in part to mw:Extension:DiscussionTools. Are there any other scripts that might be worth integrating directly in MediaWiki? Thoughts would be welcome at Wikipedia talk:Scripts++.

As always, if anyone else would like to contribute, help is appreciated. Stay safe, and happy holidays! --DannyS712 (talk) 00:19, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

RE: Singh Tyagi surname

Hello

1. My ancestor from 9 generations earlier from Mughal times was Chaudhary Maha Singh. The whole village is predominantly his decendents. 2. My Grandfather from Sambhal District UP did not write Tyagi as his last name, he wrote Singh. 3. My other Grandfather from Karnal Haryana did not write Tyagi either. Some of his brother's used Sharma, served in WWII. 4. My Father, an Officer in the Indian Army started writing last name Tyagi. His cousins had names like Ram Singh, Phool Singh.

Do you mean to say that all these people are not Tyagis? How, please explain? Regards.

The article is not currently about a clan, but about a particular surname. (See also WP:OR) – Thjarkur (talk) 21:26, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	Good catch re. Jouletale / Sorerspays. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:14, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

I'm honestly almost impressed that user keeps getting away with this trick – Thjarkur (talk) 22:01, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much!

Thank you for this request! This persecution has drained me terribly, and I'm glad someone took notice of this obvious sockpuppetry.--Nicoljaus (talk) 00:01, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

​Yes I can imagine. I'm not even quite sure how your previous protests about this user being a sock went unheeded – Thjarkur (talk) 00:30, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

• Well, I can't say that my protests went completely unheeded )) I got a couple of wonderful blocks and they opened my IPs to all who want to know them. Okay, thanks again.--Nicoljaus (talk) 07:21, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

yes, please submit Craig_Melrose page for deletion

Hi Pjakur,

Yes, please delete the page HTTP://wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Melrose publishing. I was demonstrating how to set up a page and accidentally published this.

Thank you

parm vir chakar

Punjabi Saini is the only caste of punjab state followed by jatt who had won two Parmvir Chakar[1] have shown their rajput character by Fights[2] Why you are deleting — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.225.33.150 (talk) 23:33, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

The source did not verify that claim, but secondly it is not relevant enough to mention on a list of individuals. – Thjarkur (talk) 23:50, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Why you have added mali word in saini article?mali is different caste in punjab according to Punjab land Alliation Act — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.225.46.101 (talk) 06:21, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Saini is different caste in punjab

The census of 1881 as shown on page 292 and 232 of the book linked below 'The Cyclopaedia of India and of Eastern and Southern Asia, Commercial, Industrial and Scientific by Edward Balfour, Jan 1885' ascertains that Sainis and Malis have always been documented as entirely separate tribes in census. Same with page 232.

Why is it being ignored, please understand this is a sensitive topic for Saini community and we are being mistaken for other group which lives in different part of India Remove mali word with saini articles you can say that rajput mali started only in 1937 using saini surname how you can say all saini are malies only rajput mali using saini surname not all mali in other different states . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.234.186.169 (talk) 13:23, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
