Hello Brandon: You created File:TTC streetcar map 2020.svg in WikiMedia. Would you be willing to update the map to reflect the reactivation of 507 Long Branch plus a few other changes?
Effective November 19, 2023, 507 Long Branch operates between Humber Loop and Long Branch Loop until 10PM; thus, it is a limited service route like 508 Lake Shore. After 10PM, 501 Queen replaces 507 Long Branch after 10PM; thus, 501 has limited service west of Humber Loop and regular service east of the loop. Correction: Between Roncesvalles Avenue and Humber Loop, 501 Queen operates along The Queensway rather than Queen Street West which runs east of Roncesvalles. (The Queensway and Queen Street are essentially the same street with a change in name at Roncesvalles Avenue.) Humber Loop lies just beyond the point where 501 leaves The Queensway to turn south towards Lake Shore Boulevard West. Also, effective July 30, 2023, the 503 Kingston Rd route has regular service; it is no longer a limited service route.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 24th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 24 December 2021. Uh-huh, we're finally covering the good ones among the rest! Aren't you excited? Remember to include a link in double brackets to the script's .js page when you install the script, so that we can see who uses the script in WhatLinksHere! The ScriptInstaller gadget automatically does this. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!
Featured script
Making user scripts load faster by SD0001 is this month's featured script, which caches userscripts every day to eliminate the overhead caused by force-downloading the newest version of scripts every time you open a Wikipedia page. Despite being released in April 2021, our best script scouters have failed to locate it due to its omission from the US of L. For security reasons, the script only supports loading JavaScript pages.
Newly maintained scripts
After earthly attempts at improving the original have failed...
Ahecht has created a fork of SiBr4/TemplateSearch, which adds the "TP:" shortcut for "Template:" in the search box, and updated it to be compatible with Vector 2022.
AquilaFasciata/goToTopFast is a much faster fork of the classic goToTop script that also adds compatibility for Minerva and Vector 2022.
Without caching. Each script takes 400–500ms. A particularly large script takes 1.11 s! Internet download speed is 50 Mbps.With caching enabled. Each script takes just 1-2 ms to load.
Improve a script
Unfortunately, this section has remained nearly identical. Help us out here!
To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
Dragoniez/SuppressEnterInForm stops you from accidentally submitting anything due to pressing enter while in the smaller box, and works on almost anything... except the InputBox element itself, used in subscription lists and the Signpost Crossword! Oh, the humanity!
Doǵu/Adiutor(pictured) provides a nice, integrated interface to do some twinkley tasks such as copyvio detection, CSD tagging, and viewing the most recent diff.
Eejit43 has quite the aesthetically pleasing scripts, all made in TypeScript.
/afcrc-helper is a replacement for the unmaintained Enterprisey/AFCRHS and processes Redirects for Creation and Categories for Creation requests.
/ajax-undo stops the "undo" button from taking you to another page while providing a text box to provide a reason for the revert.
/redirect-helper(pictured) adds a much better interface for editing and redirects, including categorization, for which valid categories are dictated by /redirect-helper.json.
/rmtr-helper helps process technical requested moves without being able to actually move them.
Guycn2/UserInfoPopup(pictured) adds a flyout after the watchlist star on userspace pages that displays the common information you might use about a user.
Jeeputer/editCounter, under userspace, adds a portlet link to count your edits by namespace, put them in a table, and put that table in a hardcoded subpage, all in the background.
Hilst/Scripts/sectionLinks converts all section links to use the § sign, which are known to be preferred over the ugly # by 99% of the devils I've met.
PrimeHunter/Category source.js adds portlet links to tell you where a category for an article comes from and supports those from template transclusions.
Sophivorus's MiniEdit adds some nice, li'l buttons next to paragraphs to edit their wikitext with a minimal interface.
Edit-listings
Dragoniez/ToollinkTweaks adds more and customizable links next to users in page history, logs, watchlist, recent changes, etc.
Firefly/more-block-info optimizes the display of rangeblocks in contribution pages. Doesn't work outside the English locale of any wiki, unfortunately.
NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader makes paging links (e.g. older 50, 500, newest) load without refreshing and makes you realize how slow your internet actually is.
Appearance-ricing
Ahecht/RedirectID adds the redirect target to all redirects. For all the WP:NAVPOPS haters. (Do these exist?)
Dragoniez/MarkBLockedGlobal: Remember the "strike blocked usernames" gadget? Now you can use a red, dotted line to highlight rangeblocks and global locks!
Jonesey/common(pictured) has some styles to overhaul your Vector 2022 experience. It reduces padding everywhere, and makes the top bar animation faster.
Aaron Liu/V22 is a fork that narrows the sidebars instead of upheaving them, reverts the January 2024 dropdown changes, and restores the old page-link color for links that don't go outside the current wiki.
Nardog: SmartDiff is a spiritual successor to Enterprisey/fancy-diffs. It makes the page title part of links in diffs clickable, along with template and parser function calls. Unnamed parameters can be configured per template to also be linked. All links are styled based on the normal CSS classes of rendered links.
For the paranoid: Rublov/anonymize replaces your username at the top of the screen with the generic "User page" text. Remember, it is your duty to persuade everyone that editing is an honor.
/AjaxBlock provides a dialog box for easy input of reasons while blocking users.
/Selective Rollback(pictured) provides a dialog box to customize rollback edit summaries and does them without reloading the page. Seriously, why doesn't MediaWiki already do this?
/flickrsearch adds a portlet link to search for uploadable flickr images about the subject.
/randomincategory adds a portlet link when on Category pages to go to a random page in the current category.
Vghfr/EasyTemplates adds a portlet link to automatically insert some of the most common inline {{fix}} templates.
Yes, we're just doing 'em as we go now. Thanks for reading through this looong issue, if you did! I'm sure this'll send a record for the longest issue ev-ah. You may need to wait even longer for the last issue, as our reserve of old-y and goodie scripts have ran out... We encourage you to try and do some of the requests or improvement tasks. See you in Summer, hopefully!

Hello, @BrandonXLF. I have been using your AutoRef userscript for a while now but recently, it has broken for me and keeps giving me a "Unable to get the data for the provided reference from citoid. Make sure it is valid and your internet connection to functioning." error whenever I try putting in any link. Is there a fix to this? Thank you, Thecowboygilbert - (talk) ♥17:27, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
The CollapseSections script looks a bit wonky on the skin Vector 2022. The arrows are there but they're mostly covered by the whitespace, making the clickable space rather small.
Currently the click handler is implemented on the list item, not on the link in it, and it ends up adding # into the URL (and moving the user back to the start of the page) because of it. Thanks in advance. stjn23:34, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi BrandonXLF. Thank you for your work on LHASA. Another editor, SunDawn, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:
Good day! Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia by writing this article. I have marked the article as reviewed. Have a wonderful and blessed day for you and your family!

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:MSRDC screenshot.png
Thank you for uploading File:MSRDC screenshot.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.
This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
An article you recently created, Lingotto (district), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

I've been using your user script that automatically updates the notification count for quite some time now; I love it! I had a quick idea that could make the script even better. Instead of having new notifications show up as a grey number under the notification/notices icon when the script runs after a notification/notice is received, would it be possible to have it remain in its original red/blue colour instead (as the notification/notices panel wasn't opened yet)? This might be due to the fact that when the count is updated, the notification/noties are seen "as read".
@Bean49 Thanks for the heads up. I'm not sure what happened, but it seems like restarting the service worked. Let me know if you encounter any more issues. – BrandonXLF (talk)14:34, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
QuickEdit and updates to heading markup
Hey, another thing I notice more and more: currently and in the future heading HTML will change. This already affects QuickEdit script on pages with DiscussionTools enabled, leading to the wrong rendering of QuickEdit textarea. You can see it on this page with dtenable=1 in URL. It would be great to prepare the script to the changes and render QuickEdit correctly on pages where heading markup has already changed. stjn14:36, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
Hey BrandonXLF! Thanks for making this tool. I wanted to let you know that the script is misbehaving on non-Vector skins, most likely as a result of the new markup. When I try to open the script's editing dialog, it removes all other text from the page rather than placing the dialog in between the text. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 07:24, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
@TechnoSquirrel69 Done - Thanks for your feedback! I also had to adjust the code to support the DiscussionTools heading format, so please let me know if anything doesn't work as expected. – BrandonXLF (talk)23:56, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Hai! I've recently started using QuickEdit on the English Wiktionary, and, although it mostly works fine, there is one bug I'd like to report. When previewing an edited section, any quotations in that section are impossible to view, since the "quotations" button that you'd ordinarily click on to view said quotations fails to appear; this makes it impossible to preview any edits to these quotations when using QuickEdit. Just letting ya know! Whoop whoop pull upBitching Betty ⚧️ Averted crashes03:10, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
HotDefaultSort: Avoid auto saving by holding Ctrl?
Hello BrandonXLF! I've been using your QuickEdit user scripts for quite some time (and am loving it)! I could not see myself editing without it now :P. I just had a thought that could help make it even "quicker". How about having CTRL+Enter automatically do the "Save" action, just as it does in the normal editing in "Publish Changes"? Thanks so much! Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 15:52, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello! I am a rollbacker from Kazakh Wikipedia. Today I created "User:Nurtenge/common.js" and "User:Nurtenge/Restorer.js" pages and I got a "Restore" button on Kazakh Wikipedia. But... There are TWO "Restore" buttons! They both perform the same task, but there are two of them and it looks ugly. How can I fix this error? Nurtenge (talk) 15:56, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I figured it out, it's not a bug, it is my bad :) I created this page on Meta and created this page on Kazakh Wikipedia. In Meta-Wiki, I used your JavaScript on English Wikipedia, and on Kazakh Wikipedia I created my own JavaScript page where I wrote some English words in Kazakh. Your JavaScript code gave me a restore button on all wikis. And my JavaScript code translated into Kazakh gave me a restore button only on Kazakh Wikipedia. Therefore, on Kazakh Wikipedia I now have two restore buttons :) Thank you!
You can use this user right to perform maintenance, answer edit requests, and make any other simple and generally uncontroversial edits to templates, modules, and edinotices. You can also use it to enact more complex or controversial edits, after those edits are first made to a test sandbox, and their technical reliability as well as their consensus among other informed editors has been established. If you are willing to process edit requests on templates and modules, keep in mind that you are taking responsibility to ensure the edits have consensus and are technically sound.
This user right gives you access to some of Wikipedia's most important templates and modules; it is critical that you edit them wisely and that you only make edits that are backed up by consensus. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password.
If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.
If you were granted the permission on a temporary basis you will need to re-apply for the permission a few days before it expires including in your request a permalink to the discussion where it was granted and a {{ping}} for the administrator who granted the permission. You can find the permalink in your rights log.
Hey there, welcome to the 25th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 March 2024. We've got a ton of wonderful editors taking back their pitchforks today. Don't worry, for they come in peace, to forcibly fix and extend existing scripts you use with sheer passion. There's so many, them forks have got what's basically their own column now! gift us with some rows before it's too late Aaron Liu (talk) 04:00, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
An easily configurable script to add a link to the #p-vector-user-menu-overflow portlet with a name, target, and icon. This one should be a relatively easier one. I would do it myself, but I'm too busy rotting away on Celeste (video game).
After the ＲＩＩＪ update, Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin has a dismiss button that allows you to mark an item as read in one click and cycle to the next Watchlist item.
Lordseriouspig/StatusChangerImproved is just like Enterprisey's script, except you select your status from a dropdown instead of cycling through them with a button. The WMF operates out of car-centric infrastructure anyway. Shame!
Newly maintained scripts
Aaron Liu has created Duplinks from Evad37/duplinks-alt; his fork adds a config variable to automatically highlight duplicate links on the loading of any page where the portlet link would've appeared.
Tired of staring at a bunch of filtering text and waiting for darn filter logs to load? Msz2001/AbuseFilter analyzer can parse abuse filters into a visual syntax tree and evaluate locally on-demand!
Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences finds references with the same link and displays the number of them along with a button to add the {{duplicated citations}} tag under the references section. Being lazy has never been easier!

Hello! I couldn't pick which of your scripts is most vital to me at this point, but it may be this one. Thank you so much for them all! Is there a way one could optionally omit the <ref>...</ref> tags when using Autoref? I'm often working within fully-specified reference lists, e.g. with {{Refbegin}} / {{Refend}}, so I presently have to remove the tags each time. Remsense诉04:57, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Hi BrandonXLF. I disclosed a conflict of interest and requested some corrections/updates to the Pinger page at Talk:Pinger, but nobody has responded yet. I saw that you were the largest contributor to that page and was wondering if you'd be willing to review the edits I requested as an impartial editor. Thanks for your consideration - Andrea WikiEd272 (talk) 18:10, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
@NotAGenious My best guess for what happened is that you accidentally pressed "Save" twice. I've updated the script so it can't be pressed twice anymore. Please let me know if it continues to happen. Thanks, – BrandonXLF (talk)17:39, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello, could you please add a confirmation button to your script? I am often using my phone using desktop view instead of mobile view, which means I will sometimes accidentally tap on the button to restore. Note that this has also happened using my laptop, for example one simple accidental tap with your finger on a touchpad will trigger the script to activate. This has happened on several occasions. Would you be able to code a confirmation button into it? Thanks. CutlassCiera15:56, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
Hello, thank you again for making many dimensions of my editing career much less tedious. I really appreciated your adding the s accesskey to save—would there be any issues with assigning ones for previewing and comparing as well? I'm not sure, but since p is taken, perhaps v for preview, and b for compare? Thanks again! — Remsense ‥ 论14:18, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
