Conflicts + ticked/unticked

Two comments:

1. This still conflicts with MediaWiki:ShowHide/code.js
   • when auto-refresh is ticked, the collapsible JS fails to operate on that page
2. For some of us at our wiki, it defaults to unticked. For others of us at our wiki, it defaults to ticked.
   • Why the inconsistency?
   • How can we make it default – as it should – to unticked for everyone?

Thanks! :) — SpikeToronto 05:16, March 25, 2017 (UTC)

With respect to the first, I'm not going to support a script marked as deprecated 5 years ago. Please move to using the mw-collapsible class or consider supporting your own workaround using ajaxCallAgain as described on the script documentation page.

The script defaults to true, although there was a bug with the initial state a few weeks ago that may have interfered with that. Without more information, which would include users digging around in their console, there's no way to diagnose the issue. cqm 08:05, 25 Mar 2017 (UTC)

Oh! I wasn’t aware the code at MediaWiki:ShowHide/code.js had been deprecated.<blush> I was wondering what that other code at MediaWiki:ShowHide.js was for! What about the code at MediaWiki:ShowHide2/code.js? There are so many show/hide codes here, I’m never quite sure what to do with ’em all!

• Is the one at MediaWiki:ShowHide.js for the new mw-collapsible class that you mentioned?
• Is it backwards compatible?
• Would every template that currently works with MediaWiki:ShowHide/code.js have to be re-written?

When you say “defaults to true” [emphasis added], is “true” the same as “ticked”? It would seem to a no-nothing like me that one more variable line above the import statement at our local wikis could be used to set it to “false”, no?

Thanks! :) — SpikeToronto 22:54, March 25, 2017 (UTC)

Checkbox message and title

Could the checkbox message and its hover text please be changed to "Auto-refresh" and "Automatically refresh the page" respectively, as they're more clearer than "AJAX" and "Enable page auto-refresh"? --Sharkie 08:27, February 13, 2019 (UTC)

Since I don't see anyone objecting, I've gone ahead and made the change. --Sharkie 09:44, June 2, 2019 (UTC)

Adding pages

Could Blog:Recent posts be added to ajaxPages, along with Special:WikiActivity, Special:Watchlist, and Special:Log being added to ajaxSpecialPages, as they are commonly added and would benefit from being added to the default as then users don't need to configure them as they're already setup (which would also make it so that wikis don't have to enable JSRT just to add WikiActivity to the list of pages that AjaxRC works on). --Sharkie 08:31, February 13, 2019 (UTC)

Checkbox

Hi! I have a problem with this script. When Wiki Activity is refreshing, I can't scroll it. I tried unchecking the checkbox, and it was helping me for some time, but today I've unchecked it and it still was refreshing! And I couldn't scroll the page normally. I've currently removed it from my wiki until it's fixed. If you need a link to it, here it is: https://uhgbdfjh.fandom.com/ru/wiki/%D0%92%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BF%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%B2%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B8%D0%B0%D0%B3%D0%BE_%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8 (please note that pages with lots of categories which include numbers are not against the rules, but everything that is forbidden by Terms of Use, for example profanity and insults, is forbidden by its local rules).

Sorry, the wiki was closed, so I can't see the issue. Otherwise interesting. But it is going to end-of-life soon, so nevermind. --TreeIsLife (talk) 21:11, June 12, 2020 (UTC)

This script isn't going to be end of life, while UCP might have auto refreshing recentchanges, this script can be used on more pages than just recentchanges. --Little Red 21:12, June 12, 2020 (UTC)

Using on Classic pages? There is no need to have this tool on any of these pages. There won't be WikiActivity. It is still possible to use it on Special:NewPages, but for many users, it is better to do it on their own.

It has no big functionalities then AutoRefresh, and you will see, that only few wikis will have this on UCP. --TreeIsLife (talk) 21:26, June 12, 2020 (UTC)

Yeah I don't expect everyone and their mother be using this script on UCP, but that doesn't mean we should just drop it and act like its never to be used again. --Little Red 21:28, June 12, 2020 (UTC)

Then were to-use? --TreeIsLife (talk) 21:32, June 13, 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand your question? Also we might want to continue this in a different place since we're kinda getting off topic from the original topic of this section. --Little Red 22:18, June 13, 2020 (UTC)

UCP

Will this be updated for UCP? At the moment the script removes the filter box when refreshes the page. Does it make sense to even update this since there is a built-in refresh feature? (although that needs to be "clicked" every time) leviathan_89 21:27, October 16, 2020 (UTC)

You can configure the script to not load on RC, as there is no point in that on the UCP. I think we should remove RC from the default configuration on the UCP, but it is still useful on other pages (like Special:Log). -- Cube-shaped garbage can 00:04, October 18, 2020 (UTC)
