[edit] Overview

ARV is a new javascript tool written and developed by lightdarkness. The tool adds a report link to the top of users talk pages, which prompts for a reason. After entering the reason, the IP/Username and the reason are inserted on WP:AIV. It will not report if the vandal is already reported on WP:AIV.

[edit] History

Several improvements have been made since my initial beta testers have had a go at it. The way that the script grabs the username is through the URL, and sometimes certain factors affect how the URL is formatted. I believe I've gotten all the different cases, and it should get it correctly now. If not, please drop me a note on my talk page and I'll prompty fix it.

Also, if you have any feature requests for it, I'd be happy to hear about them.

[edit] Installation

Installation instructions can be found on this page, I believe I've ironed out all the kinks, where the tool wouldn't grab the correct username. If you report a vandal, and it adds any junk on the end of the username, please let me know asap, and I will apply the appropriate fix.


- Tell your friends, ARV is now live :D
