Changes: MassEdit

Revision as of 12:17, 18 December 2017

MassEdit is a script that enables users to create a set of inputted pages or edit/delete content from a set of extant pages. It can affix templates to the top or bottom of articles, add categories to pages, remove all instances of a word or phrase, or create new articles at will. Users can adjust the standard edit summary and rate of edit at will through the addition of a window object.

Due to the potential for abuse in the form of vandalism or spam, the script can only be used by local staff (i.e. admins, bureaucrats, content-moderators, and rollbacks), FANDOM Staff, FANDOM Helpers, and VSTF.

Installation

Add the following to your personal common.js or global.js files or your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.js file:

importArticles({
    type: "script",
    articles: [
        "u:dev:MassEdit/code.js"
    ]
});

Users may further configure the script through the addition of a window object denoting their preferences. Users may modify the standard edit summary at will by including an editSummary string, and can adjust the edit rate of the script by modifying the integer value of editInterval. An example config object is shown below.

window.massEditConfig = {
    editSummary: "Your edit summary",
    editInterval: 1000
};

Variables	Type	Default value(s)
`editSummary`	String	`Editing page content (script)`
`editInterval`	Integer	`500`

-'''MassEdit''' permits users to quickly edit or create an inputted set of pages. It can be used to affix templates to articles, add categories to pages, or simply create articles from prefabricated HTML.
+'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a script that enables users to create a set of inputted pages or edit/delete content from a set of extant pages. It can affix templates to the top or bottom of articles, add categories to pages, remove all instances of a word or phrase, or create new articles at will. Users can adjust the standard edit summary and rate of edit at will through the addition of a <tt>window</tt> object.
-As the author has experienced bugs while using the similar [[AutoEditPages]] script, MassEdit was created to serve as a slightly simpler, cleaner, more optimized version of AutoEditPages with additional i18n support.
 Due to the potential for abuse in the form of vandalism or spam, the script can only be used by local staff (i.e. admins, bureaucrats, content-moderators, and rollbacks), FANDOM Staff, FANDOM Helpers, and VSTF.
