Reply-link is a script that inserts a link after on-wiki comments that opens a small reply form. You enter what you want to say, press "Reply" and that's it. Enterprisey created the well-loved reply-link but declared it superseded on 6 September 2021 as mw:Extension:DiscussionTools now offers fairly similar functionality. Reply-link broke around the same time, only allowing you to reply your own comments. This was caused by the introduction of DiscussionTools as they altered the HTML of talk pages. I've forked reply-link and will try to keep it functional in it's current state, but I won't fix existing bugs or add major new features. I'm working on Bawl which will offer everything reply-link offers and more.

How to install

[edit]

Add this to m:Special:MyPage/global.js to load the script globally:

mw.loader.load('//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Alexis_Jazz/Script_page_test.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');

To load the script on a specific Wikimedia project, add the line to Special:MyPage/common.js on the project in question instead.

Note: you may want to consider disabling "Enable quick replying" in your preferences (editing section) / global preferences (editing section) to avoid confusion. You won't see this option (and won't have to disable it) if you have disabled "Discussion tools" in your preferences (beta features section) or global preferences (beta features section).
