About
[edit]db-test, uw-create? Can't remember the 28 different warning templates about warning a user, or the several for requesting a speedy delete? How about informing an admin about vandalism? Where is that page? Wiki-Aid simplifies these problems by adding a sidebar interface which offers:
- Quick access to New User Changes / Recent Changes
- Quick access of a users contributions, talk page, logs and statistics once a user page has been visited
- A Revert Last Change button which reverts the last known change of a page without accessing the Diff page
- Auto entry of speed delete, warn user and the classic cookie welcome message
- Quick report button for vandalism
- Quick Redirect button, no more mistakes (Unless you don't know the title)
- Signs templates that have been inserted by Wiki-Aid
- An option to logout on exit
- A warning if you are not logged in

Notes
[edit]- All edits are your own, misusing Wiki-Aid will only get you banned. Wiki-Aid does not submit any forms (allowing for preview of the article) for this very reason. Don't bite the newcomers!
- This program was made on a widescreen laptop so may not be suitable for those with a small screen. Alternative view is a future feature.
- The Microsoft .NET framework v2 is required to run this program. It will download and install for free if you don't have it.
- To tackle the issue of vandalism, there is a subroutine that can be activated to stop users upon logging on. Without logging on, some features are disabled. Yes, you could just modify the source code, but I feel that will be too much hassle.
