Board Thread:Script Suggestions/@comment-28083312-20161212062823

Some of the JS I use only effects certain user groups, or everyone except a certain group, so when I’m writing in the Common.js page, I like to know if what I’ve written will effect the right people/won’t effect the wrong people. Problem is, only admins can enter test mode! I can’t use alternate accounts to check to see if things work on them because they can’t enter test mode, & if I made them an admin, it’d defeat the entire purpose of the exercise. Also, because certain features are only supposed to import for admins, such as the Mass Redirect feature, I’d like to be able to test to make sure that I haven’t botched the IF function & accidentally given that ability to every single user, before the JS is reviewed by staff, not after, because then it could take days to fix the problem. If there was a script that already exists that does this, or if there’s a way to enter test mode as a normal user that I don’t know about, those would be wonderful. If neither of those exist, then the creation of a script for this purpose would be much appreciated. I’ve never made a script before myself, I just use them, but I’m not too averse to biting the bullet & learning some myself.

As a small side note; I use test mode very often, & it’s a bit of a pain having to go to JS pages to enter test mode each & every time. It’d be sweet to have an option to enter test mode in the My Tools thing, kinda like MassRedirect, but that’s just extra.
