This is for your valuable efforts on countering Vandalism and protecting Wikipedia from it's threats. I appreciate your effort. You are a defender of Wikipedia. Thank you. PATHSLOPU06:17, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Awesome Aasim! I was going through Wikipedia:Protection policy and just happened to expand the "Are you in the right place?" message I originally created and added there (as well as to other policy pages), and I was impressed with what I saw! Astonished and curious, I took a deeper look and was completely blown away! You went as far as to create Template:Right place - a template for standardizing these messages, and then also created Template:Right place/styles.css - an accompanying style page for the template as well! Giving you this barnstar and recognizing you for your extremely hard work and the time you spent with creating this template is the very least that I could do. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your dedication and for the positive impact that you have on this project. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk)(contribs)21:38, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am only a human. I make mistakes from time to time. Unless if the mistake is repeated, there is no need to warn me and I will likely thank you for reverting my error.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 27th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 2025! Boy, does it feel good to kick off the year with an issue. Yep, it's been a year since we cleared out the 2022-2024 backlog with issues 23 and 24! Good times. Though in this case "a year" just means... 6 months? 😯 The salience of whatever joke I was planning to make here has vanished speedily. Aaron Liu (talk) 21:00, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!
WikiTextExpander by Polygnotus, is this edition's featured script. At the click of a configurable hotkey, this script will find and replace or link a configurable list of phrases within the selected text in all source editors (even in the comment/reply field!). Besides allowing the quick insertion of templated messages, this script greatly mitigates the WP:WTF? problem by providing both the legibility of familiar words and the convenience of shortcuts. And to those asking, the capitalization of "Wikitext" as "WikiText" was a necessary sacrifice for far-more-memorable acronymy.
CanonNi: AlertAssistant has been fixed and rewritten using OOUI instead of Twinkle's Morebits. Such modern, very tool. (Do note that the maintainer has since become inactive.)
NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader has been updated to use modern JS APIs that replace the browser's URL bar with the link you clicked on to load in place. The "back" (and "forward") buttons also work now. Cool, innit?
andrybak: Unsigned helper no longer shows an error when the message to sign was added in the earliest 50 revisions of a page's history. This is especially relevant to pages with short histories.
BilledMammal/Move+ needs updating to order list of pages handle lists of pages to move correctly regardless of the discussion's page, so that we may avoid repeating fiasco history.
In breaking m:Tech/News, Gadgets can now include .vue files. This makes it easier to develop modern user interfaces using Vue.js, in particular using Codex, the official design system of Wikimedia. Codex icons are now also available. The documentation has examples.
Appo/Globstory integrates OpenHistoryMap, updating the map whenever hovering/clicking on a location or year, the latter of which changes the map to be (hopefully) accurate to the year selected. It's pretty interesting.
linkinfo Somewhat similar to WP:NavPops, Awesome Aasim/linkinfo(pictured) provides a collection of links to replace the right-click context menu, presented beautifully.
PreviousDiscussions provides a link to search for your username on subpages of another user's userpage and talkpage conveniently.
Twineeea/noRedLinks brings you to the "read" instead of the "create" tab when you visit a red link. Contemplate life's mysteries as you stare into the blank! Deeply.
No, this is not going to be the enduring tradition of S++ for the future. This was meant to be a joke for the special occasion on the first day of the fourth month but was delayed by four months because I'm lazy.
I was already the biggest fan of /addmylinks, and /linkinfo is now another script I won't be able to edit without. One question—is it feasible to add functionality allowing users to append their own entries in the context menu? That would be incredible for me. Cheers, in any case!

I actually am thinking exactly the same! However my implementation right now is a bit of an OOUI hack and it probably will require more work to have custom submenus. I want to add functionality like submenus so that we can for example have a submenu listing all the user roles (and potentially better organization as well). That way we can have tools like Twinkle be able to add a custom submenu to the context menu. It might be a bit of work, I'll probably post what I am currently working on on GitHub maybe. I also need gerrit:1166542 merged so that the icons are there when that behavior is ready (I submitted that token contribution partly with that user script in mind, but also partly because it is necessary if we want to have submenus in toolgroups such as the VisualEditor).

It probably will not be ready and will need a lot of testing but maybe it becomes featured enough that it can be manually added to OOUI. Aasim (話す) 03:54, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I hope to getting around to it. I have never really created a custom component from an OOUI component to alter its behavior beyond the examples so that is going to be a learning experience for me.
I may forget but when it is all done I hope it will be possible to add an Extensions section that can be used by gadgets. But that won't be for a while depending on my total progress. Aasim (話す) 05:46, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've just installed your linkinfo script, and it feels like magic. But would it be possible for the links to open in a new tab? lininfo is very useful in histories and the recent changes page, and leaving those pages whenever I click a linkinfo link would be counterproductive (especially for the recent changes page, which I never close). Thanks in advance! --Paloi Sciurala (talk｜contribs) 14:50, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
