Help locate links that might be WP:EASTEREGGs.

Adds a new tool to article pages that (when clicked) tags certain wikilinks in prose with emojis to indicate possibility of being an "Easter Egg" link.

From least probability to highest, the emojis used are:
🥚 → 🐣 → 🐥 → 🐤

The script is pretty limited as it only uses some character analysis to determine when a target article and the linked text do not align. Because of this, many of the tagged links will probably be okay. The point is just to draw attention to some that might need review.

Happy hunting.

How to use it

[edit]

Once installed, you can find a new link in the "Actions" section of the "Tools" menu when browsing article pages only. The link will provide a count of how many possible eggs the script found. For example, it might say "35 possible 🥚s". Click this new menu item and the script will tag each of the links it found with one of the emoji above. The more "hatched" the egg is, the more "distance" between the link text and the target article of the link.
