Timestamp issue

If i get some result which was published at 09.01 am from wikipedia from india the is it showing as UTC based timing or IST based timing? Subha617 (talk) 21:03, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Subha617, Wikipedia time is UTC. Ed6767 talk! 21:03, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Okay i am getting result based on UTC right? Subha617 (talk) 21:05, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

24 hour clock not working?

In User:YueWang12/skin.js and User:YueWang12/minerva.js, I've set twentyFourHours: true. But I still seeing 12 hour clock (11:26 am, Today (UTC+7)). Any solutions? Xiao Wang (talk) 04:31, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

The settings are supposed to go before the `importScript`. Gary (talk · scripts) 17:46, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Mobile?

Is this gadget OK on mobile WP?

span.style.whiteSpace = 'nowrap';

Why does this include "span.style.whiteSpace = 'nowrap'"? This causes strange layout problems when inside of a narrow box. See the discussion at Special:Permalink/1102169873#Why does this text overflow the page boundary?. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:47, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Please note, this gadget is just a call to User:Gary's personal userscript. We don't really do gadgets like that anymore, but we initially did. Gary would need to fix this on his end. — xaosflux ^Talk 20:31, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Gary hasn't edited since April. Maybe we should just interface admin this. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 08:28, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

The script uses "white-space: nowrap" to keep all the elements together. An admin can change it if they'd like. A few options are:

• Don't forcefully wrap anything at all, therefore letting the text naturally wrap. Removing the code "span.style.whiteSpace = 'nowrap';" should be enough to do that.
• Wrap smaller groups of text together, rather than the whole thing.

I'm having this problem as well. I'd support a solution of some kind. By the way, it only started happening recently. Did this gadget change recently, or did something else change recently and this is just a side effect? –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:21, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Aha. I found the root cause: [1] –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:23, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

The problem should be fixed now. I separately wrapped most of the timestamp elements, so that they would still logically stick together, but as a whole, they wouldn't be nowrapped. Gary (talk · scripts) 20:57, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

I can see that there's now a bunch of smaller nowrap spans, but it's still causing the same problem, although possibly at a somewhat narrower width. We don't use nowrap in other places. I don't see the need to put it here either. Just let things wrap however they normally wrap. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:22, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Looking at it closer, I see things like:

<span style="white-space: nowrap;">, Wednesday</span>

what's the point of disallowing a line wrap after the comma? That makes no sense. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:25, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Okay I removed the wrapping completely. Gary (talk · scripts) 00:01, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

It's working perfectly now, thanks! -- RoySmith (talk) 00:11, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)?

The CILT script fails to run on Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals). It is fine with the other VP pages and (as far as I can tell) all other places.
Does anybody else see this? Why does it seem to fail one just this one page? — GhostInTheMachine ^{talk to me} 11:56, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Removed the {{Skip to bottom}} template from VPR and now all is well. The template adds a button with a Skip to bottom link and encloses it in a div that has the mw-parser-output class.
The script intends to find the article body by looking for the div with the mw-parser-output class, and assumes there should only be one. The script could perhaps instead look for mw-parser-output only within mw-body-content? — GhostInTheMachine ^{talk to me} 14:54, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

@Izno and Gary: Looks like the fix has to be in the CILT script. I assume that it will not be possible to remove the mw-parser-output class from the {{Skip to bottom}} output. From June 2022, the mw-parser-output class is explicitly added during expansion of the indicator tag that the template generates. See T188443 for the recent change — GhostInTheMachine ^{talk to me} 15:58, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

I used your suggestion and targeted the more specific `mw-body-content` class. Gary (talk · scripts) 20:58, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Vector 2022

This is apparently incompatible with Vector 2022. See T318600 -- RoySmith (talk) 19:52, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I don't see a solution to the problem in that thread yet. I tried Vector 2022 a few weeks ago, but didn't like it, so am sticking with Vector. So if someone comes up with a solution to this issue, then feel free to update the script themselves, or let me know. Gary (talk) 17:36, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Prefer actual dates over today/yesterday

@Gary:, could you make a toggle on/off parameter so the actual dates are being displayed, instead of today or yesterday? Qwerty284651 (talk) 22:09, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

No, I'd really want to keep the toggles to a minimum. I would remove them all if I could. Just to simplify the script. The more toggles there are, the more possible bugs there are. You can hover over the timestamp to get the original date, as an alternative. Gary (talk) 23:27, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Actually, setting `dateDifference` to `false` might do what you want? Gary (talk) 23:28, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

You are right, hovering over it with the cursor does display the actual date. Thanks. Qwerty284651 (talk) 23:34, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Support timestamp links

A month ago, obtaining links to comments was rolled out through linking the date everywhere except enwiki, as one can see at m:Requests for comment/Community consensus for blackouts and other advocacy. Could this script also support converting such linked dates? Aaron Liu (talk) 23:30, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
