Constructors
There are three constructors for this script, WAStorage, WikiActivity, and FeedUI. WAStorage is a private constructor, while WikiActivity and FeedUI is public.
WAStorage
A wrapper for localStorage made specifically for this script in mind, with a few changes, such as storing a key for a specific period of time. This constructor does not contain any params.
{string}const s = new WAStorage( );
const v = s.get( "test" );
{string}{string}{string}set; however, the values are stored for a specific period.{Object}{Date|number}get; however, the key gets removed if it is past the expiry period.{string}WikiActivity
The primary constructor and controller for WikiActivity. This controller can affect the way its UI displays and how the feed entries appear. It also loads the Wiki Activity link to the toolbar, and if allowed by the script's configuration, converts the RecentChanges link to the WikiAcitivty link.
