Your userinfo script

The 1.19 upgrade seems to have broken your userinfo script, leaving me bereft without intimate details of every editor whose userspace I touch. Any chance you could take a look at it and see if you can figure out where it's gone wrong? The denizens of #wikimedia-tech on IRC have offered that if you need help figuring out the borkage, you can go to mw:Talk:RL/MGU and mw:RL/MGU. Thanks! A fluffernutter is a sandwich!

There is nothing on that page about the MW 1.19 upgrade, and the script has continued to work fine for me. I am going to try isolating which of your other user scripts or gadgets is causing the problem. Do you have any gadgets turned on in your preferences, which I cannot see by looking at User:Fluffernutter/vector.js? PleaseStand (talk) 00:41, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It might be an EasyBlock issue. Does adding function akeytt() {} at the top of your vector.js fix the script? PleaseStand (talk) 01:41, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That did it! Woohoo, thank you :) A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 03:13, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User script listings cleanup project

I'm leaving this message for all recent contributors to Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts.

This scripts listing page is in dire need of cleanup. To facilitate this, I've created a new draft listing at Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts cleanup. You're invited to list scripts you know to be currently working and relevant. Eventually this draft page can replace the current scripts listing.

If you'd like to comment or collaborate on this proposal, see the discussion I started here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject User scripts#Scripts listing cleanup project. Thanks! Equazcion ^(talk) 00:19, 25 Mar 2012 (UTC)

Invitation to events in June and July: bot, script, template, and Gadget makers wanted

I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon. It's 1-3 June and registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, just mention it in the registration form.

This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets (extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.

Our goals for the event are to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!

I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.

Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.

Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page, here or at mediawiki.org. Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator 14:39, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How to use "Hide Vector sidebar" only for editing?

Thanks for all your great scripts! Re Hide Vector sidebar, do you know how to automatically hide the sidebar only when editing a page? ··gracefool ☺ 19:39, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can try this instead of the normal import code. It should prevent the script from loading except on edit pages. PleaseStand (talk) 22:44, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

if ( document.getElementById( 'editform' ) ) {
    importScript( 'User:PleaseStand/hide-vector-sidebar.js' );
}

Awesome thanks. I've added a note to the documentation. ··gracefool ☺ 01:26, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am assuming that your Hide Vector sidebar code hides the side bar at the left of this page which is what I am trying to do. I copied and pasted the code into TengoKbailar/vector.js then saved and bypassed cache but I can not make it work :( Oh for a show/hide button at the top of the page how simple. I would appreciate it if you could tell me how to achieve this.

I do not know if I am complicating my life.....when I download pages from toolbox PDF the navigation links do not work, when I create a page using Adobe they work but I have the side bar taking up space.

Thank you
