Talk: List of JavaScript enhancements

Scope

I've noticed some of the headers suggest certain types of script are limited to personal. For example, Interface Personalisation states: "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." I know this is not true for at least one script in that list. Similarly, Site enhancement suggests most of the scripts are only suited to site-wide installation, which again isn't true. My overall point is that grouping them under headers might make them a little confusing at times.

With that in mind, I'd like to template the entries to look something like this: HeaderLinks^[s][p] - <description goes here...>. The usage would look something like this:

{{js-entry
 | script      = HeaderLinks
 | site-wide   = yes
 | personal    = yes
 | description = <description>
}}

That would make it a lot clearer. I second this notion. -- sqm ^talk 11:24, 05.19.2014

You mean remove the headers completely and list all the available scripts in plain list form?

I am also worried about the size bloat by using the template considering the amount of scripts and the rate at which they continue to increase. Though it would be neat; but huge

I seriously feel that there is a dire need for another method to organise all the scripts in a way which would be easier to navigate and find for users

Seperating them into different pages (and tabview) or dynamically generating lists using dpl might work.~UltimateSupreme 16:13, May 19, 2014 (UTC)

Dpl is another option, but that would require some reworking of the infobox to add a type parameter and a relevant category for dpl to hook onto. Maybe we can make use of dpl's url variables to show a more specific list or some sort of js form to allow us to search for certain names, types, scope, etc? I'll get dpl enabled here so we can explore if it's suitable for what we need. cqm 17:53, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

I like having a single unified list, but it needs a lot more organization. I've been working on it, and I think it's A LOT more organized now, but it still needs more work. Does anyone have any other ideas on how it can be further organized? Code Lyoko Wiki: User: Deadcoder 18:13, May 19, 2014 (UTC)

I agree with Deadcoder, that it has been greatly improved in the last couple of months, but it definitely needs to be reworked with a new method to organize it. I don't know the specifics of how DPL works, but I think that the dynamically generated list using DPL sounds like a good option to me. It sounds to me like reworking the template would be worth it to be able to use that method. —RyaNayR ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:48, May 19, 2014 (UTC)
