Feedback on QuickEdit

[edit]

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)[reply]

@Cocobb8 I added an access key for the letter "s" to trigger the save button. BrandonXLF (talk) 07:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Restorer script bug

[edit]

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)[reply]

Hi @Nurtenge, can you share a URL of a history page where both buttons appear. Thanks, BrandonXLF (talk) 06:21, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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!
By the way, it would be cool if you added the ability to write a reason for restoring the page version -- Nurtenge (talk) 16:51, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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.

Autoref

[edit]

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 04:57, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
