My JavaScript & Cascading Style Sheets[edit]
- Developed for the Vector (legacy/2010 not 2022) skin; may not work well or at all for others
- May conflict with other user scripts, stylesheets or Gadgets
- Some do conflict with MediaWiki "Web Fonts" (will look into it)
My common JS & CSS[edit]
- My common JavaScript – only importing the resource manager below
- My common CSS – a few tweaks
Currently in use and reliable[edit]
 | Probably still being fine tuned now and then, but good to go (mostly) |
- navigationUI.js – compressed navigation user interface with expanded content; "sticky header" since 2016 😜
- quickLinks.js – discrete UI widget for easily maintaining a user defined list of bookmarks; interwiki use (nearly)
- allowTabs.js – tab key inserts a tab character instead of jumping to next input whilst editing
- showSpecialDiffLink.js – shows a configured
[[Special:Diff/oldid/diff]]link syntax on diff pages unwatchList.js – unwatch (and rewatch if you make a mistake) pages directly while viewing changes to your watchlist- Functionality built into preferences now; apply some CSS and it's not bad; probably more efficient
Listed at Wikipedia:User scripts/List[edit]
- addCloneClearButtonAboveScributoConsole.js – does what it says on the tin
- aceEditorOptions.js – provides a GUI to change and save desired settings for the Ace editor used on JavaScript, JSON, CSS and Module pages
- userResourceManager – powerful meta-tool for user JavaScript and Stylesheet management; multi-tab problem to be fixed
- confirmLogout.js – almost (user scripts aren't loaded on preferences pages) never accidentally log out again
- responsiveHistoryCompare.js – dynamically move Compare selected revisions buttons next to the selected revisions on
action=historypages - subdueLinks.js – add options to switch hyperlink color on and off
- sectionFooters.js – add ghosted clones of editable-section headings to the end of the respective sections
- getUnpatrolledOfAlexNewArtBotResultsPages.js – search AlexNewArtBot***SearchResults for unpatrolled pages; see User:AlexNewArtBot
- watchUserContribs.js – add/remove pages listed in Special:Contributions to/from your watchlist
- addUserContribsEditSummaryCountLink.js – add a link to xTools "Analysis of edit summary usage" to the footer on user contributions pages
On the todo list[edit]
 | Best to steer clear of this stuff |
Not fully fleshed out[edit]
| Some parts might be very good |
- greenTechDocs.js – applies styling for Module and Template doc pages inline with how they look when transcluded
- moveFailedModuleTestsToTop.js – for use on Module:UnitTests results pages
- controlSiteWidth.js – control the width and horizontal alignment of the site; useful for ultrawide monitors
- dupeLinks.js – detect duplicate links in articles; in very early development; MOS:DUPLINK
- sectionLinks.js – add permalinks to all section headings; scroll wheel access on cursor hover
- wikilinkPlus.js – add related shortcuts to most wikilinks; Alt+left mouse click for extras; clashes with default browser functionality
- previewCategoryDupeArgs.js – semi automated duplicate arguments hunting tool, specifically for use working on Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls
- teleDirect.js – remotely create redirects
Possibly working; definitely nasty[edit]
- globalWatchlist.js – watchlists from all projects linked to Watchlist; needs streamlining
Avoid like the plague![edit]

{{subst:Warn}}{{subst:PleaseCite}}{{subst:Uw-unsourced1}}{{subst:Welcome to Wikipedia}}– I had a large part to play in it's development
My modules[edit]
I consider myself a novice Lua learner.
In progress[edit]
It seems like I'm currently doing something else...
Semi complete[edit]
Safe space for testing[edit]
Because messing about for days or weeks at a time in other Module's sandboxes is likely to be bothersome to other editors

Possible templates for development[edit]
Please discuss[edit]
Recently, on two occasions (then and then), the spelling of Slash's current girlfriend's name has been actively disputed without discussion; for the record, let us have the discussion and put the dispute to rest.
In the body of the article, Hodges's first name is stated only once, making reference to a Daily Mail (which has been discussed at length and is considered potentially unreliable) publication, and is spelled "Meegan". The value of the |partner= parameter in the article's {{Infobox person}} template currently states "Megan" as the spelling for her first name.
Disruptively edit-arguing over article content without even descriptive/informative edit summaries is an unacceptable method of attempting to establish article content; let us discuss the difference of opinion, reach consensus and let the matter lie. Until consensus has been reach with regard to the content directly related to this discussion, the status quo should be maintained.
International English[edit]
You recently edited Rubin Carter with the edit summary (thanks for actually leaving them) Fixed a word: changed a non existant word to what it seems to be was the intended word, ie burgle
; "burglarize" is an "existant" word[1] (unlike "existant" which should probably have been "existent"). These differences in international English usage can be trivial, but can also be quite important. For example; some articles are explicitly written in British English or American English with deference to their content, and editors should maintain the correct spellings etc. We even have special templates designed to maintain the continuity, such as {{Use American English}} (see its documentation's "See also" section for loads of other similar specification templates). Just something to be aware of.
