This script is used to easily alert users about contentious topics. It uses the {{Alert}} and {{Alert/first}} templates.

Installation instructions[edit]

Hint: It's much easier if you get ScriptInstaller, then navigate to User:CanonNi/Scripts/AlertAssistant.js and click "Install" at the top.

However, here's the manual method:

  1. Place {{subst:iusc|User:CanonNi/Scripts/AlertAssistant.js}} on Special:MyPage/common.js or a skin-specific page, like Special:MyPage/vector.js.
  2. Clear your cache and enjoy!

Usage[edit]

Note that the script will only load in the User talk: namespace.

To use the script:

  1. Click "CT Alert" in the Tools section on the right of your screen (Vector)
  2. Choose whether to use {{Alert/first}} (first) or {{Alert}} (regular)
  3. Select the topic in the dropdown menu
  4. Click "submit query"

And that's it! Plain and simple. Feel free to test the script on User talk:Sandbox for user warnings.
