Editor Review

Wikiproject

Welcome

This is a quick-access list of all the scripts that I have added to this wiki. It is updated periodically, so add the following lines to your monobook.js to have added gizmos to your Wikipedia experience.

Administrators should remove the lines marked (na), as they are emulators of admin tools.

var megaversion = "2.5"                                         // megabook.js V2.5 begins
importScript('User:Microchip08/welcomer.js');                  // turns empty talk pages pink; when clicked preloads welcome template

importScript('User:Microchip08/pgarequirements.js');         // adds links to usability & references wizards to toolbox
importScript('User:Microchip08/talkpageplus.js');           // changes redlink discussion tabs to + icons
importScript('User:Microchip08/usernamehighlight.js');     // highlights your username on pages
importScript('User:Microchip08/talkblinker.js');          // removes orange new messages banner and blinks "my talk" link instead

importScript('User:Microchip08/switcher.js');           // switcher link
importScript('User:Microchip08/cssimport.js');         // adds a gradient to talk pages to make boundaries stand out
importScript('User:Microchip08/histcomb.js');         // tidy history pages (slows down history pages slightly)
importScript('User:Microchip08/uberdiff.js');        // BETA: improve diff pages :)
importScript('User:Microchip08/stubbifyme.js');     // BETA: Quickly add stubs to articles
importScript('User:Microchip08/preview.js');       // Add quick preview buttons
importScript('User:Microchip08/pseudodeleter.js');// Adds a "qd" tab for quick deletions (na)

importScript('User:Microchip08/finderfox.js');   // Adds snazzy icons when you select text (DISABLE IN VECTOR)
                                                // [[User:Microchip08/megabook.js]] (ends)

After you have added the above line, purge your cache, normally by pressing CTRL and F5 at the same time. If you do it correctly, a little magic wand (should) appear in the corner of the screen. When that appears, all is done: your new javascript and css are working as required :D Uninstalling the script is easy: just get rid of those lines in your monobook.js and purge your cache again. Bien!

Updating

As long as you have megacheck.js installed, there should be a in the corner of the screen. When an update is ready, you should see it replaced with a . When this happens, you should navigate to this page, and copy-and-paste the code again.

Remember to make sure that the megaversion is updated to the current one, or you will still have the icon.

Note to megabook maintainers: User:Microchip08/megacheck.js contains the current version number.

Thank you!

Known Bugs

• The Diff previewer has no close button: I've contacted the author on enwiki for advice. If you want to remove it, add a // before the line to disable it from working.
• It should work in all modern browsers; take this opportunity to get FireFox.
