UESPWiki:Javascript

This page lists all the available Javascript applets available for use on UESPWiki.

(Note: These pages are protected to prevent tampering. For experimental modifications, please save the applet in your User space. If you have an application that you would like to add, please ask an administrator to protect the page before listing it here.)

Instructions

To try out a Javascript applet for yourself, simply go to [[Special:MyPage/{{#skin:}}.js|your javascript page]] and add importScript('UESPWiki:Javascript/Page); on a new line. For example, if you want to use Add Purge and Force Preview, your {{#skin:}}.js file would look like this:

importScript('UESPWiki:Javascript/addpurge.js');
importScript('UESPWiki:Javascript/forcepreview.js');

If the script also has a stylesheet (.css file), you have to add importStylesheet('UESPWiki:Javascript/Page); to your javascript page.

Please note that if you change skins, you will also need to copy the changes to the .js file from the old skin to the new one. This allows you to customize which javascript applets are in use for different skins.

An extensive "how to" description, intended for Wikipedia use but quite usable at UESPWiki, can be found here.

Listing of Javascript Applets

In the table below, you will find the UESPWiki Page to link to in your {{#skin:}}.js file as well as the Home Page of the original script. Please note that modifications may have been made to the script to get it to work on UESPWiki — please do not update a script from its home site without confirming that it works here!

Some scripts are also available from the Gadgets tab of your Preferences link.

Name	Gadget	UESPWiki Page	Home Page	Description
Add Purge	Yes	addpurge.js	Wikipedia	Add 'purge' tab to clear Wikipedia cache of page. (Note: Similar functionality is also available by adding the UTC Clock Gadget and clicking on the clock.)
Changes since I last edited		addsince.js	Wikipedia	Add 'since' tab to show changes since user last edited given page.
Comments in local time	Yes	comments in local time.js	Wikipedia	Change UTC-based times and dates, such as those used in signatures, to be relative to local time.
Edit Top	Yes	editsection0.js	MediaWiki	Add an [edit] link for the lead section of a page.
Force Preview before saving		forcepreview.js	Wikipedia User X!	Disable the "save" button until you preview, forcing a preview to be made. (Note: IE users can still bypass the forced preview by hitting Enter in the Edit Summary; most browsers will not allow this.)
Modify Sidebar		modifysidebar.js	UESP User Gez	Add or remove items from the links at the left of the page. Note: importing this script does not work in Chrome and Safari, but you can copy the code to your javascript page instead.
Navigation popups		navpopup.js, navpopup.css	wikipedia:WP:NAVPOPUP	Navigation popups, article previews and editing functions pop up when hovering over links.
Rename Search Buttons		renameSearchButtons.js	UESP User rpeh	Makes the labels of the search buttons smaller so they all fit on one line
Reorder Categories		reorderCategories.js, reorderCategories.css	UESP User rpeh	Trims the initial namespace from categories, sorts them alphabetically and puts them in a table. See this image for an example.
Searches in New Window	Yes	searchesInNewWindow.js‎	UESP User rpeh	Launches a new window or tab each time you search, rather than loading results in the current window.
Subpages	Yes	subpages.js	mediawiki.org	Add a link listing the subpages of the current page to the toolbox.
Watchlist Notifier		watchlistnotifier.js	Wikipedia User Ais523	Places a message at the top of the screen whenever your watchlist has changed since you last looked at it.
