Nice graph - thanks. -- CGorman 21:26, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)
What I meant when I said it was easier for editing was it removes all the code required to produce the graph which can be confusing to newbies. While yes, it is harder to change, the data isn't too much so wouldn't take long to enter into excel (the whole graph and screenshot took me less than 5 mins to make). Also, this will only change yearly (won't it?!) so it doesn't need updating very often. The old graph was good, but I felt my one just a) looked a bit nicer (kudos to the excel team) and b) was better as a trend graph. Thanks. JOHN COLLISON | (Ludraman) 15:37, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Hey there. I'm just fixing the Surrey East (UK Parliament constituency) article after a WP:RM request. I noticed you moved the article by copy and pasting it, something we should always avoid in order to adhere to the GFDL. If a move needs to be done in the future please use the move button or ask at WP:RM. Your intentions were obviously to help though, so please don't take this the wrong way.

Hello! Thanks for your extra edit buttons - however, a recent change to the standard edit buttons seems to have introduced problems. Now, with your extra buttons installed, the normal buttons don't work anymore. See e.g. the Village pump and Brion's talk. I wonder if you have any idea as to why this is so? I'd hate to forgo use of your buttons, as I've grown to appreciate them very much. Thanks, Sandstein 05:22, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello. Thanks for the notice on my talk page, but what actually occurred was that, while I was reverting the vandalism from user 58.178.205.185, I clicked on the wrong version to revert to. My mistake. Kaijan 10:01, 16 May 2006 (UTC) (Wikipedian since 2003)
If you look at the block log (link above) you can see that this particular IP is used by an admin. There is also a notice to this effect on its talk page. So blocking it would probably do more hard than good. I do block school IPs when it seems like there is less chance of collatoral damage. "the only downside is that legitimate users would need to register as a user" - if only... Blocking the IP also blocks all registered users using that IP. See this to join the list of people wanting this changed (I think it will be changed, it just needs Rob, a developer to implement it). Hope that answers your question.

After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! -- AmiDaniel ( talk) 02:56, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing up the SVG trouble I had, which I posted on the Village Pump. But, now I have another one: Image:Times New Roman versus Georgia.svg. The basic idea is to have a Times New Roman alphabet over a Georgia alphabet. (See Image:TNR-Georgia.png.) This time, the Georgia alphabet won't appear and the Times New Roman is covered in black as last time. Maybe, I'm saving the file wrong. Do you save it in "Inkscape SVG" or "Plain SVG"? Thank you. — Black and White ( TALK CONTRIBS) 21:01, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

You just did a revert on this article to remove vandalism. Thought I would let you know that two vandals were at work at the same time on the article and your revert took it back one revision to an already vandalised article. It needed to go back two revision to get to the clean article. This is a bit of a problem with VandalProof and worth watching for. I often check the previous edit as well if this wasn't made by a logged in user. -- Mark S ( talk) 10:35, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
In recent months I have been dismayed by the current rash of 'editors' infesting our beloved Wiki. It has become the domain of Little Britain-type fan boys editing from their council offices and dispatching editorial decisions with a godlike hubris. Again, self-styled priests of the faith are deciding what they want people to see. I have no complaint when my editions are adjusted, or sometimes removed if need be, by better qualified people, but the Ultra Violet/Hammer Space fiasco is ramming home the point the Guardian makes that wiki is less and less to be trusted. Most of my contributions remain untouched, merely added to from time to time; However, on some sites, the editors protect theitr subject matter like fanatical temple guardians. If this continues, Wiki will become just another fan site/film buff hideout, for people decorating their club house personal spaces, and the encyclopedia will become just another elitist chat room.

Hello Mark, I'm from the German Wikipidia, I found your nice collection of edit button only now. (I see in your code your mentioned JavaScript ability is not so very much :-o.) I've copied and converted the toolbar from fr: (all this suggested by de:User:Löschfix to me) for de: /customToolbar.js. And I would do this with your script too, but I'll strong optimizing this (laborious) code, so you will profit from this too. Greeting -- Olliminatore 23:30, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
I think the button code in your developers version is not user friendly (XEBOrder="A,B,C...). The code mwCustomEditButtons[mwCustomEditButtons.length]
is JavaScript1.0 and very out of date (over 10 years old, I think nobody in the world used such old browser to edit here) use push()
for this. What do you think about adding the buttons from fr: ? Okay, no trouble, you could see I'll do that all. --

Hi, I am Tromsogirl and I've been editing the Jason Shand page with the assistance of Jason, I believe there was some acts of Vandalism on the Jason Shand page yesterday that you reverted back to its origional. Just like to say thankyou for sorting that out. Do you know if the member for the IP Address of the vandalism - 193.195.220.34 has been banned from Editing? or any other information about the IP owner that I could assist Jason with in finding the person responsible as they seem to possibly be responsible for a number of personal attacks out of Wikipedia aswell.
Thanks again for Sorting the Vandalism, Much Appreciated. ( Tromsogirl 13:19, 6 September 2006 (UTC))
Thankyou for that information you sent regarding the IP address, The fact its somebody connected to EMAP is encouraging in finding out the responsiblity of the person behind it, Anyway I'll pass on the information to Jason that its somebody connected to EMAP and see what he wants to do next. (

How do you get all the extra edit buttons? Windows 95 gets none of them and Windows XP only gets the default buttons, and sometimes it takes a long time. The image of the first button seems to be missing today.-- Chuck Marean 20:36, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello, Id just like to get around to thanking you for the help with the IP tracing in early September regarding the vandalism to the Jason Shand page it was much appreciated. Just to update on from that, I notified Jason about it coming from EMAP and following private discussions the matter has been dealt with Internally at his place of work, and Hopefully there will be no further abuse by those responsible of his page anyway from anybody connected with EMAP.

Your change on extra edit buttons last night somehow broke my js at sr: wiki. Before i have one more toolbar under your buttons, and now i don't have it. Can you please help me somehow, or revert your edits and save it to another place. You can see my js here. Thanks. -- Sasa Stefanovic • 14:38, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't know if you know this or not, but this doesn't redirect to your desired location. I don't even think it's possible to redirect pages that have .js at the end of them. So it might be better to blank it that have that there. Regards, — Moe 15:56, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I'd love a button that would add the | symbol. now I have to scroll down and take one from the symbols below the edit window - and I use it all the time. Kudos for great work on the script! PS.

Hi Mark,
Per the invitation on your XEB page, I tried adding a TL button to the code, right below the Subst button (Z). I used the following code:
'TL':['3/37/Button_tl_template.png','Template link',"{{tl|","}},'Template name'],
However, it didn't like this. In fact, it caused the entire script to stop working altogether.
So I guess you can count this as a feature request. Cheers, Karl Dickman talk 01:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC) (formerly Ingoolemo)
XEBOrder.split
do? Does it allow the end-user to add buttons between the buttons added by your XEB script. For example, a script exists that can suppress the standard editbuttons; if such a feature existed, I could reinsert the standard buttons in the order I wanted (for example, putting the standard link button right before the sub-link button, and the standard image button right before the advanced image button, etc.) Just some thoughts to chew on. Cheers,
Karl Dickman

As you know, scripts exist to suppress the standard editbuttons (bold, italic, link, headline, image, etc.) I see this as a first step toward maximum customisation. For example, it make ssense to have purely formatting buttons, like underline, strike, bold, and italic right next to each other, and to have both the basic image button and the advanced image button right next to each other. The easiest way to do this would be to make the following change to User:MarkS/extraeditbuttons.js:

mwEditButtons
to add these to BDict (and give these simply the indexes as names (1-10)), but we need BDict first load in addOnloadHook
. These give us a additional possibility to add an optional parameter for additional custom user buttons (what you've requested too). I think I will do these for the german version. —
Olliminatore
12:48, 1 December 2006 (UTC)By the 'ten other standard buttons', do you mean the ones that have been
MediaWiki:Common.js? If so, you can suppress them (thanks, Olliminatore) by adding mwCustomEditButtons = [];
to your local javascript file, or to the XEB script page.

eraseButtons
function (you can correct my typo "erease", or better called removeButtons!?), it must be indexes from 0-20. That would be too complicated/ elaborated for an user friendly parameter). —
Olliminatore
20:39, 1 December 2006 (UTC)Plus, I don't think that extending the indices on your script would work, i.e. I don't think that ereaseButtons(15,20);
would successfully erase the sixteenth and twenty-first buttons in the toolbar. I seem to remember trying that, and didn't succeed.

As you probably know, there are ten buttons from the XEB script you originally wrote that have now been added to the Common.js. Of course, they are redundant for those of us who use XEB; also, their order can't be customised.
Do you have a way of suppressing them? Adding variables to Common.js seemed to kill all editbuttons. The best way I can think of is to enclose them within a div tag and suppress the id of the div tag using CSS. Karl Dickman talk 17:07, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
rmEditButtons = [6,7,10])
. Either this function must (modify) do the same with mwCustomEditButtons for the buttons in :Common.js, or you must simply first delete them all: mwCustomEditButtons = []
. (p.s. my automatic signing script don't works on this site :-P) If any additional question you can ask me here or there. —

One final thing: at

Hmm ... I updated the code, I can't say way but the code must be in script tag (local it works without). Currently you can only add buttons at the end (or beginning, or end of standard buttons), but we could make a optional parameter for additional custom buttons, which are changeable in order too.

For some time now (two weeks?) I have a bug with my buttons. After I customized the order and type (and for some time it worked perfectly), suddenly I got a series of 'extra buttons' I don't want between the official buttons and the buttons I customized - as if I had the following buttons before the ones I want (which display correctly at the end of the taskbar): S, B, I1, I2, J2, H (the not implemented 'instert hidden comment' fro talk dev version!), 'Insert picture gallery' (used only at User_talk:Jwalling/monobook.js!), M, E. Also, Olliminatore script I was using to remove official buttons I don't want seems to have stopped functioning (see my my monobook (all button scripts are at the bottom). I am sure I have not changed my monobook recently - everything worked for some time, and about 2-3 weeks ago stopped. Removing Olli's script or reisntalling yours don't seem to have any impact on my problem. Perhaps you can figure out what I should do? PS. Custom buttons I want: R1,R2,R3,R4,AI,T,Z,K,A,C,E,G,S,H,FS. Official button to remove: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10. PS2. Any chance of getting a button to instert | symbol? Icon should be easy to make (just the symbol).-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 21:39, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
mwEditButtons
variable, instead they were added to mwCustomEditButtons
so there are standard buttons in the custom buttons code. Olliminatore's script to remove buttons can't remove these extra standard buttons. The dev version of XEB does have a new function to remove these extra standard buttons as well as the standard-standard buttons.The da Vinci Barnstar | ||
For bringing us the wonderful extra edit buttons and keeping working on it I award this to you for the second time. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 04:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC) |
myButtons
in your monobook.js and populate it the same way BDict
is populated in the XEB script itself. Then just add the extra button code to your XEBOrder variable and you can add any button you want. This would allow the individual user to add a button to insert anything they wanted. I'll add some documentation to XEB homepage when this goes live. --

Hi MarkS,
I just recently installed my own MediaWiki and I've been in the process of setting it up. I would very much like the extra functionality of the extra buttons and after hours of looking around and banging my head, I was extremely relieved to find your page.
I wanted to ask two questions if I may, though. How would I change this so that it would be Wiki wide (in the case of my own private Wiki) rather than through my User-page? Do you know what I would need to do in order to have the extra edit buttons available for all edit pages on a personal wiki and how one would go about doing this?
I also thought I would ask, as you might know: standard MediaWiki doesn't have the 'special character box' available for the edit page. Unfortunately a lot of the work I do is in linguistics and so having the special characters is essential to me. All of the information I have found at either Meta or through MediaWiki-L has been conflicting or old and not useful. Would you have any suggestions as to how to go about adding this?
Thanks again, your response is much appreciate!
Best wishes,
Chris

This may well be true; I have been watching recent edits using the vandal fighter, and perhaps misjudged this one. - Mike Rosoft 09:15, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey Mark. XEB isn't working for me, and I'm almost certain that I've implemented it correctly. The script I use to import XEB is:
function importScript(s) { document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:' + s + '.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>'); XEBOrder="A0,B0,U,S,I1,I2,J1,J2,C0,P1,D0,E0,A,F0,AI,G,G0,H0,I0,J0,FS,K0,V,H,O,P,T,Z,TL,Y1,Y2,K,B,D,C,D1,F,Q,W,X,L,R1,R2,R3,R4,N"; importScript('MarkS/extraeditbuttons');
I know that importScript()
works, because it's working for other scripts. My JS console isn't registering any errors. I cannot find any errors on my end. Any thoughts? My only one is that you have several if()
statements in the initButtons()
function that don't have opening and closing braces.

Finally I got around to playing with the new version (Great). One word of advice: as good as 'rmEditButtons=['all']' idea is, until all the standard buttons are duplicated in your tool, it is not that useful (I don't think anybody would like to get rid of signature button, for example).-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 15:22, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello! I just came across your work in the Map Locator used (today) in many infoboxes... I invented something of the sort early last year for Template:Paris_streetbox, but yours is much better. My version is in use in "Paris" and a few other French-city articles. I have had a few problems with IE explorer - was all this your work? Anyhow, the whole together was a quite amazing project - bravo!
I think I may just incorporate your version into France infoboxes in place of mine, although I do like my pointer better : )
Take care, best,

Hi,
I would like to allow users to add new buttons on my wiki as well. What is the license and are there any precautions? Aretai 15:50, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Maybe could you just let me know what are the steps to have it installed on my wiki? For example:
'C':['5/5f/Button_center.png','Center','<div style="text-align: center;">\n','\n<\/div>','Centred text'
(If I understand it OK it points to a directory on a wikipedia server so it should be probably changed??!!??) Any other changes necessary due to diff wiki?
(Does the changed to edit buttons affect admin user as well?)
Regards, Aretai 10:49, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Thx for answers MarkS. I tried both ways. I've pasted the code to my page (I'm an admin). and then have updated monobook.js (still admin account) however it wasn't working. Then I've just pasted code from the Common.js as you have suggested.
Do you think that version of the software I'm using MW 1.6.7 is significant? Do you think I should change sth in the code?
Regards, Aretai 16:28, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
thx for all help. I tried all this (even have created user MarkS on my wiki;)) but still it's not working:( Probably it's because of my MW 1.6.7 - will try to upgrade to 1.9.*. Tried this WOS (version 1.6.7) btw. what version have you used?
Regards, Aretai 15:24, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
alert("hello world");
into monobook.js. When that didn't work I knew it was a general problem rather than XEB. You could also try the code in common.js and see if it works their. It might help narrow down the problem. --

Do I need to reinstall the EEB? Apparently since this 'update' the old EEB stopped working: I see the normal wiki buttons (with new ones), despite that EEB was supposed to remove the old ones, and I don't see any of the new ones... I'd understand why I see the new buttons, but I don't see why any old EEB changes were erased (my monobook has not been changed).-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 15:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

" lines into the code. Put this into the top of monobook.js and the XEB script and see if you get a popup message. If you try it in monobook.js and you don't get a popup then its something general with monobook.js/javascript rather than XEB. If it works in monobook.js then try it at the top of XEB; this will identify if XEB is being read in correctly. Try these and then come back to me. --

Hi Mark,
I am very interested in using your script on our own wiki. You mention at the end of your descriptions that it may be possible to add the script to common.js as a way of automatically enabling the extra buittons for all users. I would like to do this but can't find common.js on our wiki server. Where is it supposed to be?
Cheers, Geoff Glt101 21:17, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi again,
For those, like me, who are utterly bemused by how this all works, here is what I have discovered so far. The Big Secret is that there is no file called common.js It is actually a page stored in the wiki. You take the javascript document.write that Mark shows and paste it into that page by going here: http://your.domain.name/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.js As yet, I haven't got these buttons to work on our wiki, so this is not the whole story.
Cheers, Geoff Glt101 18:04, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi one more time,
I got the buttons working (hurrah!) ...but there is a strange problem. I can make the buttons work on our wiki if I use the document.write with the URL pointing to your page here User:MarkS/extraeditbuttons.js. If I try to load the code from a User page on our own wiki it does nothing.
I know that code in http://wiki.originlab.com/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.js is working from simple document.write statements -I see output. However, if I put the same statements into the top of the User:<UserName>/extraeditbuttons.js I see nothing.
Can you exaplin why it should work when the URL points to your page here and not when the URL is http://wiki.originlab.com/index.php?title=User:Originla/extraeditbuttons.js ? The code at both sites is identical.
We are using MediaWiki 1.9.3
Cheers, Geoff Glt101 18:43, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I find myself missing the | button on other wikis (pl, commons, etc.) I edit frequently. Is there some simple script I could copy to my monobooks on other wikis to get this extra button? For the record, this, along with image and ref note are the three buttons I use all the time, the others - almost never. Would be fun to do some kind of statistics count on which buttons are used most often...-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 22:20, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Apologies for the late delivery this week; my plans to handle this while on vacation went awry. Ral315

Love the extra buttons. I'm trying to do the same on my wiki. I got to the point where you go to the monobook.php, but everytime I try to add it in there it seems to be in the wrong location and the wiki stops working. Could you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Hi. I have my own installation of Mediawiki (1.9.3) that I am using on my site. However, it does not show all the edit buttons that I see here on this edit page, for instance. I found your page about editing monobook.js, but if I am reading this correctly that only applies to the individual user who has it. I want all my users to have all these buttons automatically, without having to look for them. I also see there is a file called common.js, but when I looked at it I couldn't tell what it did. Is this where I would apply the buttons across the site? It seems this is not part of the normal MediaWiki download.
You help greatly appreciated. Natcolley 14:36, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
I figured it out. For the sake of other newbies like me who want to run a MediaWiki site as if we had all the volunteers and resources of Wikimedia, as well as to save you some future hassles, here is what I did: Copy the code at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MarkS/extraeditbuttons.js and paste it into your own installation. If you are like me you will need to create a new page. Go to the search box and put in "MediaWiki:Common.js" (without the quotes). When you hit go, you will be given the option to create a new page in the MediaWiki namespace called common.js. Paste the code you took from extraeditbuttons.js into this file and save. You are done. Refresh as directed and you will see all the extra buttons. Natcolley 20:55, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
