User scripts I created

[edit]
Novem Linguae's user scripts (V • E)
# of users Name Description S++ US/L
440 CiteHighlighter Highlights 1,800 sources green, yellow, or red depending on reliability. Mainly pulls its data from WP:RSP, WP:NPPSG and WikiProject reliable sources lists. x x
346 GANReviewTool Quickly and easily close good article nominations. Takes care of {{atop}}ing the discussion and changing the talk page templates. x x
94 DraftCleaner.js Fix formatting of new articles. x x
73 UserHighlighterSimple Highlights usernames based on permissions and edit count. User data updated daily by NovemBot. Highlights former admins. x x
70 VisualEditorEverywhere Displays the Visual Editor "Edit" tab and "Edit" section link on pages that don't normally have them: templates, talk pages, Wikipedia namespace. x x
64 NPPLinks Adds WP:BEFORE, copyvio check, duplicate article check, and other useful New Page Patrol links to the left menu. I like to mouse wheel click these links, which opens them in new tabs without losing focus on the current tab. Includes a professor h-index search. x x
54 VoteCounter.js Display keep and delete counts in XFD discussions. Also display counts in talk page discussions. x
52 ReviewStatus Displays whether or not a mainspace page is marked as reviewed x x
48 DetectSNG Scans a list of 1,600 SNG keywords such as "National Football League" and, if found, displays them at the top of the article page, to help with determining SNG eligibility. x
42 SpeciesHelper For species articles, tries to add the correct speciesbox, category, taxonbar, and stub template. x x
40 DetectPromo.js If promotional words are detected, displays them in orange at the top of the article.
39 UserRightsDiff.js When viewing Special:UserRights, easily see what perm was added or removed. x
34 DetectG4G5.js If an unreviewed article was created by a blocked user, or has had an AFD, displays a warning, so you can investigate if it needs CSD G4 or G5.
32 WatchlistAFD.js Automatically watchlist the AFD pages of your AFC accepts and NPP curations for 6 months, so you can see when stuff is AFD'd and you can calibrate your reviewing. By default, the patroller is not notified of AFD nominations, so this helps fix that. For user profiles, can also "Watchlist SPI" and "Watchlist RFA". x
28 anrfc-lister.js Effortlessly submit RFCs to the RFC closing noticeboard, WP:ANRFC. x
25 UserTalkErasedSectionsDetector.js Detect if a user is whitewashing their User Talk by deleting warnings
24 DontForgetG12.js Puts a big orange "Copyvio check" button at the top of unreviewed drafts and articles
15 Links.js Adds links to the left menu, including a user's common.js/global.js/vector.js, central auth, subpages, rename log, global lock log. Also adds pending changes.
9 CWWEditSummary.js When copying within Wikipedia, makes it easier to leave an edit summary mentioning attribution
9 MarkFreeUseRationale.js Add |image_has_rationale=yes to enwiki-hosted image files containing non-free licenses
8 TemplateTaxonomyAddCite Create subpages of Template:Taxonomy more easily by clicking a button to add citation wikicode.
6 ShowAdminMessages.js Reveal and highlight hidden messages for admins and other user groups.
3 BlockedUserHistory.js In Special:History, when clicked, show only edits by blocked users
1 OldDiffColors.js In Special:Diff, make additions light blue, not purple. In DiscussionTools, highlight new comments light blue, not teal.

Less popular: CopyTitle.js, EditRequestReadFAQ.js, RequestedArticleSifter.js, SpecialNewPagesFeedBetaTestLink.js, User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/TopicSubscriptionsTab.js, User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/Vector2022NoWhitespace.js, User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/Vector2022NoFloatingTopBar.js

Thank you for alerting me about that situation. A plethora of non notable possible undisclosed paid promotional articles (over a dozen) as of now have been unearthed due to that singular act of yours. Thank you for your diligence. Celestina007 (talk) 22:57, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

The No Spam Barnstar
Article spamming is an existential threat to the collaborative project and I also find that most editors tend to shy away from this area of editing, but not you! A critical ping you made to me, led not only to the utter deletion of two third of the dubious articles they created, but also led to the nabbing of an LTA. Thank you so much for striving to maintain and sustain the integrity of articles on mainspace. Celestina007 (talk) 19:20, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

"Ass In High Gear Award"

Your NPP work is extraordinaire,
Behind-the-scenes tasks that few are aware;
I'm one of the few who know what you do,
As our needs arise; it is you we look to.
And we're more than happy to buy you a beer,
A reward for you keeping your ass in high gear!

The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
Dear Novem Linguae,
Please receive my belated but heartfelt appreciation for saving the day on the Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/February 2023 effort to re-assess Good articles, that aided in the DC Copyright contributor investigation.
When I first proposed the process in the January 2023 AN discussion, I envisioned it working something like procedural Featured article reviews; I had no idea that there wasn't really a GAR process in place to deal with several hundred deficient GAs, and the work turned out to be much more complicated than I thought. It simply would not have been possible--or at least, would not have been accomplished so seamlessly--without your effort, competence, thoroughness, and efficiency.
And besides all of that, you are just so nice to work with :) Best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:51, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

red team

Thank you for quality articles such as Red team, News Media Bargaining Code and 2010 transatlantic aircraft bomb plot, for coordinating new page patrol and reviewing articles for creation, for your helpful NovemBot, for volunteering to do dirtier work, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

It's happening! After all the time. After the strange closure in 2021 and its overturning to an only slightly less disappointing result. We finally have an admin election! And candidates that make me happy. Thank you. ☀️ ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:19, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

You've already received a couple of plaudits for this work, but you deserve this one as well. For diplomatically, tirelessly, gently moving the process forward.
