Revision as of 20:07, 11 May 2014

Note: Please visit the JS and CSS Cheatsheet for more info on how to use JS and CSS.

A list of JavaScript enhancements categorized by type. If you find random JS that may be useful on other wikis, you can add it on the JavaScript Cookbook.

Scripts: Part 1

Please do not add scripts here unless you can verify that they are widely used.

  • AjaxRC — Add button to auto refreshing recent changes and watchlist
  • DisplayClock — Adds a UTC clock to pages. Usually above the Contribute button but can be placed in the Wikia banner.

These are scripts that help with Wiki organisation and maintenance tasks. They are for personal use only, only add them to your personal script pages.

  • AjaxPatrol — Makes the patrol links on diffs and new pages ajax links so that you can patrol without leaving the current page.
  • AjaxUndo — Adds an Ajax undo link next to the normal undo link on page histories.
  • ArchiveTool — Script for easy archiving discussion pages in the wiki.
  • CacheCheck — Crosses out resolved entries on cached special pages.
  • CategoryRenameAuto-update — Moves categories while fixing them on pages.
  • QuickTools — Adds a multitude of administrative ajax functions in a tidy drop down menu for ease of use.
  • ShowAdsButton — Adds a button for reloading the current page with ads.
  • WHAM — Adds "quick tools" to a user's contribution page.

These scripts alter the way Wikis look or behave so that it's more to your liking. Only use these in your personal JavaScript/CSS files, do not add them to the Wiki itself.

  • AdvancedOasisUI — Adds various links and buttons to Oasis' UI.
  • BackToTopArrow or BackToTopButton — It adds a arrow/button to the right corner of the Oasis footer that takes you back to the top of the page when pressed.
  • FloatingToc — Turns the table of contents into a floating panel that you can place anywhere you like and that will stay in a fixed position to the page.
  • HeaderLinks — Adds an icon to headers for quick linking.
  • HideAdminDashboard — Hides AdminDashboard elements of special pages when viewing them as an admin.
  • HideRail — Adds a button to the Oasis toolbar to hide the Wikia Rail (right side bar with ads/Recent Activity/etc). It also lets you expand the Visual Editor to full width like the Source Editor, and to make every page 200px wider than the default.
  • RelatedDiscussionsModule — Moves the 'Related discussions' feature of the new forums to the rail.
  • SearchButtonV2 or SearchGoButton — Adds a 'go' button to the Oasis searchbox.
  • Sine — Automatically adds your signature to forum and talk page posts
  • VisualSpellCheck — Enables your browser's spell checker in the Visual Editor
  • [[Wikimarks|Template:Wikimarks]] — Makes the "On the Wiki" menu fully editable

These scripts add new features (or fix broken ones) and are safe to use in your site-wide Wiki script files. Some of these can also be used personally but most are only useful when installed into the Wiki itself.

  • AnswersEditButton, AnswersTalkButton, AnswersHistoryButton, AnswersNoDeleteLink and AnswersSearchLink — Creates/removes links to common pages on answers wikis.
  • AutoEditDropdown — Automatically shows/hides edit drop down menus when the mouse hovers over/away from the arrow, allowing for faster and more convenient access to menu options while editing in Oasis.
  • BotoneraPopups — Accessible action links of pages and users when hovering any link with your mouse.
  • Category Sorter — Improves the way titles are sorted on category pages and shows all members on a single page.

  • These scripts are for managing the files that are uploaded onto a wiki

    Wiki-wide only:

    • ExternalImageLoader — Enables users to embed external images on wiki pages without having to upload it on their wiki.

    Co-installable:

    • DupImageList — Lists duplicate images on your wiki.
    • FastOldImageDelete — Makes the delete links on old image revisions one-click deletes.
    • FileUsageAuto-update — File namespace maintenance tool to quickly update uses of renamed files.
    • FixMultipleUpload — Fixes the "common editing tools" template on Special:MultipleUpload so it actually works.
    • ListFiles — Provides a form for querying the MediaWiki API and generating extensive lists of files and file data.

    Personal Installation only:

    • NoImageLightbox — Disables Wikia's new Lightbox loader so that clicking on an image properly takes you to its File: page.
    • OldFilePages — Changes file pages to the old non-tabbed style with some enhancements.

    These scripts are for the creation and deletion of articles, and sometimes the creation and deletion of other things.

    Wiki-wide only:

    Co-installable:

    • FixWantedFiles — Rewrites the useless "edit page" links to useful "upload file" links.

    • FastDelete — One click deletion of any page.
    • MarkForDeletion — Automatically adds the {{delete}} template to a page to quickly mark it for deletion.
    • QuickDelete — Deletes all pages in a specified category on confirmation.

    Non-Recommended Installations

    These scripts are either broken and have been replaced with better ones, or are just no longer necessary as the problem they solved no longer exists.

    • DISPLAYTITLE — Template that allows users to change the title displayed at the top of any page. The built-in DISPLAYTITLE magic word can now allow any title to be used, so JS is no longer needed.
    • EditIntroButton2 — Basically identical to EditIntroButton, except that it doesn't work in Oasis. Use the other script instead.
    • OasisToolbarButtons — Adds action buttons (like "edit" or "move") to Oasis' bottom toolbar.
    • OasisWideMode — Makes every page wider.
    • Purgetab — Adds a purge tab to monobook. Use PurgeButton or DisplayClock/DisplayTimer instead.
    • ShowHide — Scripts for collapsible tables and divs. MediaWiki 1.19 provides the built-in mw-collapsible which makes this unnecessary unless you already have large numbers of pages that depend on this.
    • SpoilerAlert — Script will have to be rewritten to be useful again.
    • Twitter
    • UserBadges — Replaced by UserTags.

    These scripts may or may not still be useful but are in need of an upgrade or rewrite to become properly functional again.

    These scripts usually work, but are still being developed. They should not be installed wiki-wide.

    • PowerPageMaker/BetaChannel.js
    • PinterestModule
    • TumblrShare/BetaCode.js
    • ImageAnnotatorPreliminary version. Adds ability to edit and view image annotations as found on Commons. Requires: Gadgets extension, use of Firefox or Opera browsers.
