[edit] Image:Neuchatel_dot.png listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Neuchatel_dot.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Firenze_dot.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Firenze_dot.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 17:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Dunkerque dot.png

A tag has been placed on Image:Dunkerque dot.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] minor bug in redirected pages

In popup of a redirect, the target article's history etc. popup does not pops up. Example if i point to WP:RS, it shows redirects to Wikipedia:Reliable Sources(Even in non-dev version). In all menu items of target article(Wikipedia:Reliable Sources) popups does not pop up. Not so important, do it at leisure. Nice day. Lara_bran 09:06, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

minorIssue#2:In "popups" dropdown menu, include "about" below "disable popups", which should link to WP:POP. Lara_bran 14:54, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
minorIssue#3:showpreviewbutton.onmouseover function() {} should have extra command(first command) as showpreviewbutton.backgroundcolor=differentcolor. So that we can rest assured that download functions are called. Thanks. Lara_bran 05:50, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, the first of your bugs should now be fixed in the dev version. Lupin|talk|popups 13:04, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Actually we want history of target page of a redirect, donno how this bug survived from being zapped, for this long. Thanks for all the work. Lara_bran 03:41, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
minorIssue#4: Window.onClose = popupsDropdownmenu.reset() please. This is because, even if i close a tab in firefox, it saves all cache for "undo close tab" option. Some 10 tabs it(firefox) saves for this purpose and firefox slowed down a little. Thanks. Lara_bran 06:07, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Popups suggestion

Have you considered adding a link to Special:Deletedcontributions within the admin version of popups? Still fairly new, I believe, but I find myself using it more and more frequently. - auburnpilot talk 20:06, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, this in now in the dev version. Lupin|talk|popups 13:04, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quick Question

In the scripts that I have been using, there is a "use non-admin rollback" checkbox. I was wondering if you could tell me the difference between admin rollback and non-admin rollback. --דניאל - Danielrocks123 20:08, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Admin rollback is faster and easier on the servers, but you need to be an admin to use it. Prodego talk 18:13, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help with disambig fixing via popups

Hi, was wondering how I would enable disambig linking via popups with the monobook script I have. I know you have to add popupFixDabs=true; but I don't understand where. i've been reading through you're help pages but they don't seem to mention where to add it. I would also like it, so I wouldn't have to preview the edit first, or am I being a bit thick, and this option (popupRedirAutoClick) is nothing to do with the disambig fixing :-/
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. -- Halo2 Talk 01:15, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I took the liberty of adding it for you. HTH --After Midnight 0001 03:35, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, but it doesn't work properly. There's an explanation here. -- Halo2 Talk 13:23, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I contacted the creator of the WikEd script, he said it might have something to do with this. The whole conversation is here. Could you shed any light on it? -- Halo2 Talk 21:29, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey Lupin: I could add something that turns off wikEd if an edit page is opened automatically by your script, but I have no idea how your script works. It could probably be an URL parameter or a global variable. Any ideas? Cacycle 02:17, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Consult

I've written my script in my monobook page but I can't continue because I'm not very good at programming can you help me to finish it because I nearly get there but it doesn't work. Thank you very much. PS. I use Internet Explorer 7.0 and Mozilla Firefox but both doesn't work (OS:Windows XP Service Pack 2).--Passawuth 07:25, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] An interesting revert

As about five of us were all trying to fix page move vandalism last night (and tripping over each other, and possibly causing one of the two db locks) I tried reverting to the last good version of one of the pages with your script. Much to my surprise... I somehow reverted to the deleted diff text, not the edit by Mattva01. Have you seen this before? Picaroon (t) 19:21, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your vandal tool

[edit] Admin rollback problem in Lupin tool

Hi. FYI, it appears some of the generated HTML has changed in the Last revision page so the admin rollback is broken. It looks like a <br /> was removed and replaced by spans with classes. I mostly fixed it by changing the regex as seen here but now, if someone else has already reverted, the Javascript message doesn't show their revert summary. I can look further into that later (and after I find a better Javascript regex testing tool) but at least the rollback link itself works. —Wknight94 (talk) 16:00, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Javascript/Template question

I thought you might have an answer to this. Is there a template that I can use that when placed on a page converts into the articles name? for instance if I put {{Page}}(an example) it would automatically convert into the name of the article which it's placed on? Does such a thing exist? If not, What javascript would be required to make such a script possible to create such a template? Wikidudeman (talk) 19:37, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Use {{PAGENAME}}. Cacycle 02:25, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Someone Told Me You Could Help

Karmafist, when he was not banned, put something that he said came from you in my monobook entry. I wanted something that could be made to scan a set of dictionarys, references, thumbnail sketches when I dwelled over a word and provide a small window that would vanish when I went to the next word. All he put in there was a translation of the english to spanish. I don't know where to go to modify this because the monobook entry for my name appears to be empty. Can you help me a bit? Thanks. Johnor 02:17, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

It is empty because you blanked it :) Prodego talk 02:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, er ok I blanked it, but it is still displaying a translation in spanish everytime I dwell over a word. I want it to find a brief dictionary or geographical location image of the item if I dwell over it. Can anyone guide me a bit on this. I can do a bit of programming but I don't know where to begin.Johnor 05:38, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, I'll be hornswoggled! It was Google translator switch which I had turned on inadvertently long ago that kept translating my English into Spanish. However, I'd still like to have at least a definition of a word that I dwell over. Can anyone help me with that please :)Johnor 06:14, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Popup persistent toggle switch

For a long time I've been looking for a way to disable the popups beyond the current page. I've searched through the options but haven't found one that does this. So I've made a small script that use a cookie to store the current status of the popup script (on/off). A link with a form checkbox is added to one of the portlets.
I haven't found a way to re-enable popups after disablePopups() has been called, so instead I've chosen to modify a variable used by popupsReady().
see http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Marc.B/popup-chkbox.js
So far the only minor disadvantage is that "natural" tooltips aren't restored on links where a popup was shown.

[edit] Request for SVG version of image

I'd like to ask for a SVG version of your St John's College shield image, to replace the existing PNG version, as per WP:PIFU#Use_SVG_over_PNG. This should be simple if the image is already a vector version in Inkscape. Thanks XLerate 12:51, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Ferret.png

I noticed this image has an out-of-date PD tag and the source is no longer there. Are you able to give a more specific definition of why this work is in the public domain? It is currently in use on the weasel-words template and it looks kinda bad to have no justification for the status. GreenReaper 19:34, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Laura_fraser.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Laura_fraser.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 23:17, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Installing popups on another wiki

Hi, Lupin. I am interested in using your popups on BhamWiki. What questions should I ask first in order to guess whether it will work? The wiki uses monobook. Can I just install the code in monobook.js, or is there something the server admin needs to do first? Thanks. -- Rob C. alias Alarob 23:14, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

This is more or less a FAQ. Lupin|talk|popups 21:05, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:DD

Hi, I just noticed that a template you created, Template:DD, is unused and appears to be abandoned. I've marked it as deprecated, meaning it'll be deleted in two weeks' time if nobody objects. If there's a reason to keep it please leave a note at Wikipedia talk:Deprecated and orphaned templates and feel free to remove the {{deprecated}} tag from the template. Thanks. Bryan Derksen 03:26, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Signature

Someone pointed out User:Lupin/sig. Substituted signatures like this are frowned upon, since anyone can vandalize them at any time (see WP:SIG#Transclusion_of_templates). It looks like your signature would fit just fine into the 255 character limit in your user preferences. — Carl (CBM · talk) 04:05, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, this is a historical relic. I do have the sig in my preferences. Lupin|talk|popups 21:04, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AVT problem?

Hi Lupin, I'm a huge fan of your anti vandal tool, but something appears amiss... it appears to be only picking up punctuation related edits. I tried control shift R to no avail. Is something wrong with the badwords script? Thanks so much for a great tool! All the best, ~Eliz81(C) 06:04, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I looked through the badwords list and didn't see anything that might have caused the problem. I thought at first that someone had vandalized the list to make the tool less useful, but I didn't see any entries that would obviously cause this problem. I don't know much about the syntax of the badwords list, so I can't fix it. Is it a problem with the tool? Somebody Else's Problem(aka Alethiophile)Ask me why 23:30, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
The tool appears to be functioning as normal, except that now in the feed where it says Article name matched X, instead of X ever being offensive words, it's either a single character repeated, or -, >, |, etc. It does seem as if '>' might be substituting for an offensive word that then gets displayed when you open the diff, but I'm still a bit confused at this change. ~Eliz81(C) 00:50, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
It also flags the open square bracket, [, and so all recent edits that dealt with wikilinks are flagged. Somebody Else's Problem(aka Alethiophile)Ask me why 02:39, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
It doesn't seem to be a problem with the list - I tried reverting the list to an old version to be sure, and it didn't help. :-( Hoping this can be sorted out, as I think the tool's great. Iain99Balderdash and piffle 18:55, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Whenever i visit some article in wikipedia, i wish to give a brief look at the article's history. I have to middle-click history tab for that now, which is cumbersome. I have nav-popups installed, can you change code so that a popup will come up to display history of the particular page im visiting? Like when i point the cursor on history tab button at top (of the article/talk-page im viewing), a popup showing history of that article should pop-up. Thanks in advance.

[edit] Personalizing

is there any way to personalize lupin...such as i'd like it when i hit the vand. warning button for it to use {{subst:uw-vandalism2|Article}} instead of what it uses, and the edit summary for that to say, "vandalism warning!" so i can find them easier for myself, on my contributions page, and instead of the page summary saying "(Reverted edits by (name) to last version by (name)) can i make it say "rv vandalism" Ctjf83 03:52, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Popups appear transparent in Konqueror and sometimes also in Safari

When using Konqueror 3.5.5 on KDE 3.5.5 and sometimes when using Safari 3 for Windows, the popups appear transparent; they have no background and mix up with the article text, themselves and other popus in a very messy way. They also don't seem to react to mouse events, so you can't get rid of them when they appear. Shinobu (talk) 09:05, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

This is typically caused by the popups css file failing to load. I don't know why this might happen, though. I have changed the way this css file is called in the dev version, so you might like to see if using that fixes your problems. Lupin|talk|popups 19:30, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

I am using the dev version, and I also bypassed the cache before I left the message above. Maybe I'll have a look, but I can't guarantee I can find anything of course. Bye, Shinobu (talk) 12:42, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I've done some digging; I'll post it here in case it's any use to you.

... other user scripts ... .js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/popupsdev.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></SCRIPT>
<LINK rel="stylesheet" href="data:text/css,@import%20url%28%27%20http%3A//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php%3Ftitle%3DUser%3ALupin/navpopdev.css%26action%3Draw%26ctype%3Dtext/css%26dontcountme%3Ds%20%27%29%3B">
<SCRIPT src="/w/index.php?title=User: ... other user script ...

This is the relevant bit of what gets injected in the HTML source by scripts; the linebreaks were inserted by me for clarity. Konqueror seems to convert the href of the link-tag to an embedded style with an import rule on parsing.(see below) The escaped string represents:

data:text/css,@import url(' http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/navpopdev.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css&dontcountme=s ');

I don't know how the spaces (%20) got in there, nor do I know if it's important.(see below) As far as I can tell the url is accessible and points to the correct stylesheet.

The following stylesheets turn up in document.styleSheets:

I think that last one is a bad omen. Shinobu (talk) 13:55, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

If I add the following to the start of my monobook.js:

document.write('<LINK rel="stylesheet" href="data:text/css,@import%20url%28%27http%3A//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php%3Ftitle%3DUser%3ALupin/navpopdev.css%26action%3Draw%26ctype%3Dtext/css%26dontcountme%3Ds%27%29%3B">');

And click "Preview", the popus work. If I comment it and click "Preview" they don't. If I uncomment it and click "Preview" they work again.

document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' +
                       'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/navpop.css' +
                       '&action=raw&ctype=text/css&dontcountme=s">');

Works too. And at this point it dawned upon me that I had been looking at an older version of popups.js all along :-) You apparently changed the document.write to a createElement and inserted the spaces yourself:

var styles = "@import url(' " + popStyleSheet + " ');";

Those spaces are obviously causing the problem. By the way, the edit summary for the change was: "avoid document.write for stylesheet, hopefully fixing odd bug" - out of curiosity... what bug was this? Shinobu (talk) 15:05, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Great, thanks for the detective work! I've removed the spaces from the dev version, so hopefully that'll work now. The odd bug was that the stuff I was document.write'ing sometimes ended up in the edit box, so it then appeared in the article. For example, see [1]. Hmm, I should really think about making the dev version current.... Lupin|talk|popups 21:04, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rollback

It used to be that when I hit rollback, it would immediately rollback the page. Recently it has taken me to the diff page and I have had to hit rollback from there. Do you know what the issue is? I am using TW with Lupin.--Jab843 (talk) 17:56, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I am having the same issue, and I am using non-admin rollback. I am using firefox. Funnyfarmofdoom (talk) 22:45, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

When I'm monitoring the the recent IP edits, I click "rollback" to effect a non-admin rollback, but instead of reverting I get a new window with the diff showing. This also occurs if I click "history" or "last" or even the name of the article itself. I do have "Use non-admin rollback" checked and I haven't changed any settings anywhere since I last used the Anti-vandal tool successfully. ... discospinster talk 03:03, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

  • I can confirm this one. Roll-back simply takes me to the diff instead of rolling back automatically. Similar to the previous user i didnt change any settings, and it appears that the lupin scripts havent been updated today. Perhaps this is a wikipedia problem? (EG: Preventing malicious rollback?) --Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 07:39, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
It's not just the revert button. Also the (last) and (hist) options take you to the highlighted diff, instead of either the most recent edit or the article history. I think something's wrong with the tool. ~Eliz81(C) 07:58, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rollback Temporal fix (NON OFFICIAL!)

Ok, for everyone here who has this problem, there is a Temporal Fix available(Non official though!). Out colleague reverter Philip Trueman uses a modified version of Lupin, which can be found here: User:Philip_Trueman/recent2.js. This versions rollback button still functions as intended, along with the other buttons. Philip notes that his version might contain bugs and might not always work, but so far i have encountered nothing that prevented me from reverting. It might not be a perfect solution, but at least it works.

One little addition: don't go bugging Philip if you find bugs. He doesnt know its posted here, and remember that usage is at your own risk, so no complaints either please! --Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 08:45, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that, Excirial. My version also stopped working yesterday - it looks as though the RSS feed for Special:Recentchanges now puts some extra stuff on the end of the string holding the article title, and that was feeding in to the URLs for rollback and so forth. It took me a while to sort it out.
This is not the first time this sort of thing has happened. Can anyone say where the developers document functional changes like these? I think we should have been told in advance.
Lupin is of course welcome to help himself to my code if he wishes. In the meantime, I'm happy for anyone who wishes to use my version. Constructive criticism at User talk:Philip Trueman/PILT please. Philip Trueman (talk) 11:58, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks all! I've tried to incorporate Philip's fixes into my version, so it should now work again. Lupin|talk|popups 17:04, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Deirdrekenfight.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Deirdrekenfight.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Seraphim Whipp 17:39, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


Hi there. Right now I'm going through a bunch of images that have no fair use rationales and I am tagging them as such. It seems that you didn't upload the images but made an improvement to them. Would you prefer that I notified you of the image tag or the previous uploader?
Best, Seraphim Whipp 18:00, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anonymous contributions on others wikis

Hi Lupin,

On wikipedia in Catalan, we use translation for special namespace, and popups can not show the IP contributions in ca:Special:Recentchanges. I can remark it in Wikipedia in German, Italian, Polish (and I think there are more) too.

I have found a little solution modifying the regex. You can see my changes. I would know if you can apply it on your module. Pasqual (ca) · CUT 20:05, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikinfo

Fred Bauder just upgraded Wikinfo to mediawiki 1.11.1. I thought it would be nice to have popups over there, so I wanted to check with you about it. I'm not a java scripter, but it seems that it would be as simple as copying popups.js over there, and importing it into a monobook file, and seeing if it works. Is that something you would want to do, or would you have a problem if I tried it? I assume the script is GFDL licensed, but I would want to give proper attribution to you. If it works, keeping it up to date would be a consideration as well. Your thoughts? - Crockspot (talk) 04:25, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

  • I ran a test: Copied popups.js to User:Crockspot/popups.js on Wikinfo, created a monobook.js file with the same import code as used here (substituting Crockspot for Lupin), flushed my cache, and the test failed. No functionality at all. But you probably already knew that would happen. Let me know if you have any suggestions. - Crockspot (talk) 03:07, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
  • I noticed I was missing navpops.css, so I copied that into my user space as well, and made a couple of pointer adjustments to the popups script, but it still fails. There are a lot of wikipedia links within the code, and I'm just a hack, so I can't really go any further. - Crockspot (talk) 03:28, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
This is covered in the FAQ. Please try linking directly to the unchanged wikipedia script as advised there, but be sure to customize the appropriate variables. I note that wikinfo does not seem to have query.php, so you ought to be able to get reduced but still quite workable functionality. Lupin|talk|popups 07:50, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks! - Crockspot (talk) 04:36, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Minor fixing...

Hello Lupin, I just realize you edited your anti-vandal tool at User:Lupin/recent2.js. I want to let you know that your updates may not work in IE7 (or previous versions) because I currently use that browser. It may affect many people who use your tools, so can you modify the script to make it IE compatible? PrestonH 01:07, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I haven't tested in IE lately (this is tricky for me), but the latest changes were, I believe, somewhat innocuous. Please let me know if this problem goes away by itself or needs further attentions. Lupin|talk|popups 07:48, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
It's working again. I probably forgot to bypass my cache or it went away by itself. Thanks for your help Lupin. PrestonH 17:34, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Curious, it should be. It does work for me. Let me know if this problem persists. Lupin|talk|popups 07:47, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Having a similar problem since last week. The "Show details" switch does not work. Tested in Opera, Firefox and IE. Even tried a modified version from User:Philip_Trueman/recent2.js. Still no luck. Think outside the box 13:23, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MediaWiki:Spamprotectiontext

I was just updating this as part a series to help reduce reports on meta: that must be handled here locally. Didn't notice until after I updated it that you recently made changes to it. Not trying to wheel with you over anything, please take a look at the current version and let me know if you think it needs more updates (less confusing on the editors if it doesn't change every day!). Thank you, — xaosflux Talk 02:15, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello! - about your Popups

Hi there! I just started using this really nice "software" and found a minor problem: when I hover onto article names, it dosen't display as this image: , that is, it does not show "actions" on the side of the article name, but as the following: [article name]lastEdit|lastContrib|sinceMe|edit-history-un|watch-talk|edit|new|whatLinksHere-related Changes-move
I would like to know that if this is normal or not. If it is not normal, do you have a solution? Thank you!-- Vintei  talk  21:20, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

It is normal in browsers which I believe are not able to display the menus as in that screenshot. The canonical solution is to use Firefox. Lupin|talk|popups 00:16, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi and there is another problem. When I hover over an image, it reads "image preview failed. install query.php" or something similar, but with the query.php stuff (I can still see the image though). I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.9. How to solve the problem? Thank you!-- Vintei  talk  01:39, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
The query.php thing appears for everyone here. I, too, can see the image thumbnails, just without any page preview. It appears that something changed with query.php and Popups hasn't been updated yet. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve me] 06:19, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] possible bug with pop-ups (disambiguation)

There appears to be a bug with the pop-ups' disambiguation feature. At times, it will disambiguate incorrect links as well as the ones I'm trying to fix. For example, in this edit, it changed the graph coloring link, which was not supposed to happen. Please look into this.

Thanks. --Ixfd64 22:11, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Feature bloat

Popups have just gotten to big and slow for me, so I had to remove them. Do you have a simple compact version.

[edit] Small Popups feature request

Hi, Lupin! I just have one small request for Popups. It would help greatly if Popups would determine if the "Newer revision" in a diff link is the current one, and say so if it is. That would be extremely useful in conjunction with tools such as Twinkle. I'm not sure where you prefer to have Popups-related discussion, but I figured I'd ask here so you get that nice yellow bar. ;) I'll be watching this page for a response; feel free to decline if it's too hard or you don't have the time.

[edit] Suggestion for filtering

Can I suggest that there should be a new switch for the filter to ignore a set of sexual words (bondage/lesbian etc) for biogs categorised in various sexual categories, such as those referring to porn? That'd take care of a lot of false results. And if it doesn't already, conversely, it should filter for the addition of such cats to biogs, which would help with WP:BLP monitoring. --Dweller (talk) 10:31, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Launch pop-ups on key command?

I really enjoy your popups tool -- thanks so much for making it available -- but I do encounter two problems with it: 1) it often pops up when I don't want it to, which is annoying, and 2) when I do want it to pop up it takes too long. I thought both of these could be solved with one new feature: a setting where you press a key to cause the pop up. If it was set, no pop ups would appear unless you moused over something and pressed a key (maybe ctrl?). That way, pop ups would never appear by accident and you could cause them to come up as fast as you could hit the control key.

I don't think this should be too hard to implement, just replace the current mouseover/timer set up with an onKeyDown thing. In any event, I hope you'll consider it and thanks again for the great tool! AaronSw (talk) 18:42, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inclusion of userscript as Gadget.

Hi Lupin,

What is the procedure for requesting that a userscript become a gadget. My script for bypassing Special:Book_sources is fairly popular (700+ users) and, in my opinion, very useful.

Lunchboxhero (talk) 18:28, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

There isn't one, and yours can't be used because you need to manually add a URL. Prodego talk 00:08, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps there is not a formal procedure, but somebody or some group of people certainly decides what scripts become gadgets. You are quite right that the externISBN script in its present form is not ready for inclusion, but if there was interest, it could be made acceptable.

[edit] Recommended update to your RC filter

Hi. I've started reverting vandalism using you RC filter and it's a great tool.

[edit] default value of popupStructure

Hi Lupin,

thanks for the popups -- they're great!

In the table of options at Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups, the value "shortmenus" is in bold to indicate the default value of popupStructure, but text to the right says that "menus" is the default value.

[edit] Just a little 'U' typo...

Hello Lupin! I seem to have found a repeated mistake on some pages, while I was logged in to my account on Wikipedia. It looks to me like it's a typo in one of the Popups software's strings, and that's why I address this message to you (correct me, please, if I was wrong).

For example, when on  "my talk"  page:, if I hover onto the link: "Post a message to Slaughtre", the popup titled: "User talk:Slaughtre" appears. In that popup's horizontal menu (to the right of the popup's title), I hover onto an item called: "user", and when a "user submenu" appears, I then hover onto an: "edit counter" item in this submenu. If the mouse cursor is left unmoved over this "edit counter" submenu link, the yellow rectangular tooltip appears after a while...

The tooltip says:  "Count the countributions made by Slaughtre", which probably should be:  "Count the contributions made by Slaughtre".

Here are the step-by-step screen dumps of my browser displaying the above mentioned typo:

The popup titled: "User talk:Slaughtre" appeared.

Hovered a "user" link to open the submenu.

Hovered "edit counter" until the tooltip appeared.

Marked the misspelled word: "countributions"...

The above example describes the "edit counter" link's tooltip typo, on a "User talk" page only, but later I realized, that this behavior is true for all other user-related links in popups, site-wide, so the affected URIs are not limited to the list below:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Slaughtre
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Slaughtre
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Slaughtre

In addition to that minor typo report, I would also like to thank you for your Popups soft! Despite the fact, I am quite new to editing Wikipedia, I already found this tool not only very pretty, but extremely useful too. I also hope that fixing all the instances of this typo (if it is a typo - counting countributions sounds nice:), will just be a matter of changing one string somewhere.   Cheers!    --slaughtre (talk) 19:06, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Popups suggestions

As the script now stands (a fascinating tool BTW, great thanks!), when a popup is generated for a link to a section, a preview of the first paragraph of that section is shown; however, if a link leads to an anchor in a page that is not a section, the first paragraph of the article is previewed, not of the linked part. (Sections are preceded by <a name="smth" id="smth"></a> HTML construction, while in most lists entries are surround either with <span id="smth">...</span> or <div id="smth">...</div> tags.) This is also the case with redirects to sections and list entries. For example, compare popups for Art inspired by J. R. R. Tolkien and Alliterative verse by J. R. R. Tolkien (both are "redirects with possibilities", to a section and a span'ed paragraph respectively); Minor places in Middle-earth#A (section) and Minor places in Middle-earth#Aldburg (div'ed entry). Can this be tweaked? (Added 15:40, 11 January 2008 (UTC): looking closer, I see that the popup for the third link shows not the first paragraph, but the first that consists of a text without div tags, but I suppose this is intentional.)

And another proposal. I suppose it would be handy to preview the table of contents in popups for articles; this would cast the light not only on the topic itself, but also on what is encompassed by the page. This could come as a custom option, if say popupToCs = true. What do you think? Súrendil (talk) 15:30, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

And #3. When previewing the contents of a category, would it be possible that the popup reacts on the from=<name> option in the link so that the contents are shown beginning from <name> member? Súrendil (talk) 14:44, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AVT filters not working

The two filter pages (Filter recent changes & Live spellcheck) are not returning any changes. The framework works fine, but each update returns zilch.

I've tested it over and over again on different browsers and even on a test account with no other scripts. Still no changes coming up. Could you possibly take a look? haz (talk) 20:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

The "show details" links are also not working, on all four AVT pages. The edit summary is shown underneath the entry, but the actual diff is not. Possible page-parser fault? haz (talk) 20:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

What kind of browser are you using? I know for a fact that at least Safari is not supported by AVT. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 20:46, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Tested in IE7 and FF2. No JS errors reported by either. haz (talk) 20:47, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "undo this edit" in Popups

Hi!

The string "undo this edit" seems intranslatable. I added it to my translated version, as well as to your draft list of strings, however it remains in English. Where next Columbus? (talk) 19:03, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, fixed it myself. Hope my editing of the strings-draft isn't annoying - please tell me if that is the case. Still, the regexps for options popup{Dab,ImageVars,Stub}Regexp seem confusing to me - what exactly do they look for? Dab and stub detection don't work as advertised in the sv translation, so I'd like to translate them just to be complete. Where next Columbus? (talk) 20:29, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Translation for "mark patroled"

Please put "mark patroled" to translation text page, so that we can localize this term within another language's Wikipedia. Thanks. Vinhtantran (talk) 14:44, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Problem solved, I think, with the Anti-Vandal tool

Hello Lupin! I figured out why my rollback wasn't working even with the Pop-ups installed: the Pop-Up sript was disabled. Please put the following into your "installation guide":

Once that is done, go to your preferences. Go to the new "gadget" tab. Tick the box that says "Pop-ups" Click "Save Changes". After that, non-admin rollback works! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mister1nothing (talk • contribs) 17:29, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] One rainbow for you!

Without the help of the Lupin tool i would never, EVER have been able to revert vandalism in such an effective way as i am doing now. The little marvel helps wikipedia in an astonishing way, by making sure that every vandal fighter can revert vandalism quickly and easily. For this incredible tool, no star less then the Special Barnstar would be appropriate! --Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 15:39, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Problem with admin rollback while using filter

Hi. I have been granted access to the admin rollback and while using the Lupin RC filter, sometimes the "no rollback link found" message still appears when I try to rollback using the admin only rollback. I would just use the non-admin rollback, but something is wrong with it and I'm now required to save my changes to pages manually.--Urban Rose 20:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

It happened to me too.--Antonio Lopez (talk) 03:33, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] yeah, I know you get a lot of these...

but I have a suggestion/request for your popups. Can you please make it/fix my pop ups to make it so I would have to hover my mouse over an article or picture link for 5 seconds before a pop up appears. In reality, pop-ups are the most annoying thing ever, but I still use it because of the wonderful diff previews and fast vandal reverts, but when reading an article, it is very annoying to have windows popping up just when casually sliding the mouse across the screen. Just for articles and image previews, could it be possible to delay the appearance rate for those, as I would not be reading all those articles, which sometimes get in the way when they don't disappear. I know some people may not agree with this, but would it be possible to just fix mine (copying the source code to jss), or tell me how to. I would be so immensely grateful. Thanks, whether you do it or not, -- penubag  11:33, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Why don't you try the available options first? Specifically, the very 1st option. (You're supposed to add that into User:Penubag/monobook.js) ∴ AlexSm 14:40, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Ah, I did not know that page existed. Thank you very much, however further customization would be great. -- penubag  04:46, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Skegness-postcard.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Skegness-postcard.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 05:31, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] popups displaying images mentioned in edit summaries

When I hover over a link to a page history where one of the edit summaries contains a link to an image, the image is displayed (at its full resolution), rather than displaying a link to the image.

For example see Kirpan (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) and User:Thryduulf/Imagetest (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs). Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't - but it always happens when viewed from your special contributions. Feel free to use the latter page for testing of this if you wish. Thryduulf (talk) 01:13, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

edit: forgot to add I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.11 on Windows XP. I get the same behaviour in Konqueror and Firefox 2.0.0.11 on Linux. Thryduulf (talk) 01:31, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
OK, this can be solved i think:
Previewmaker.prototype.editSummaryPreview=function() {
        var c=this.data;
        var re=/^\/[*] +(.*?) +[*]\/(.*)/;
        alert( "editSummaryPreview: " + c );
        if (re.test(c)) {
                var section=c.replace(re, '$1');
                var t=new Title().fromURL(this.baseUrl);
                t.anchorFromUtf(section);
                // work around livepreview brokenness with anchors:
                // pass .-escaped anchor instead of literal value
                c=c.replace(re, '[[' + t.toString(true).split("'").join('%27') +
                            '#' + t.anchor.split("'").join('%27') + '|→]]' +
                            '<span class=autocomment>$1</span>$2');
        }
        this.html=wiki2html(c, this.baseUrl);
        return this.html;
};

This function would need an additional check that replaces [[Image: with [[:Image:. Unfortunately, this is a tad beyond my understanding of popups and regexps atm.. I'll try a couple of things. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 00:48, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I've got it down. This diff does the trick. It is live in my private popups fork. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 01:43, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nav Popups Bug: Character encoding troubles

I discovered a bit of a bug when following links with funky characters in them. For example: Račak incident when moused-over gives an empty preview with the title RaÄak incident. Yet, if the link is to Racak incident which redirects to Račak incident, then it shows the re-directed preview just fine. Also, when on the page for Račak incident, links to footnotes render with the Ä character (and thus empty). I assume there's some encoding issue in there somewhere? Yuletide (talk) 00:11, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Makotoy recently found a fix for this. I'm testing it on my own personal version of popups here. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 22:48, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:Lupin/alltalk

The above (very long! Crikey!) page is in CAT:SPEEDY at the moment, I can't see a tag and am not sure why. Is it a bug? Or is there a speedy tag there I can't find? SGGH speak! 01:16, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bug in popups.js/autoedit.js

User:Lupin/popups.js (and User:Lupin/autoedit.js) contains a bug that breaks other scripts. It defines (or redefines, if it exists already) a global function getParamValue, but does so wrongly. The function should use decodeURIComponent instead of decodeURI. As it stands, it breaks on parameter values containing properly encoded characters. Caused me quite some headache over at commons:MediaWiki:Gadget-DelReqHandler.js, which didn't work as expected for one user, who also happened to include your popups script in his monobook.js. commons:MediaWiki:Common.js normally defines that function correctly, and it took me a while to find out why it didn't work anymore. I've worked around this bug, but it's probably still a good idea to get it fixed in your code. Lupo 08:33, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I wonder if this is related to the slightly higher mentioned "encoding char bug" that users on Safari are experiencing. Might be coincidence, might not be :D --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 22:59, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Tested and the issues are not related. I have both active in my personal version atm. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 18:58, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikEd compatibility

Hi, thank you very much for the Navigation popups; they help a lot. I have one small request: I have wikEd installed also, and when I use its in-page preview mode, the navigation popups won't work on the links in the preview region. Is there a possibility to rectify that? Maybe it's easier to modify wikEd instead; if so, let me know and I'll ask there. Cheers, AxelBoldt (talk) 00:29, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] query.php to be removed

[edit] spellcheck bug - quotes in article title

Thanks so much for your wonderful tool! I use it all the time, and noticed a bug today. If an article title has quotes in it, like (the now deleted, sorry) "illusive media" and Bobby "Davidson" Mohammed, the links to fix spelling do not work because the javascript call becomes something like recent2.correctSpelling(""illusive media"", "ablity").

[edit] Speedy deletion of Template:FIdot

A tag has been placed on Template:FIdot requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes.

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 02:49, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Popups may pop the wrong article up

Hover over this link: Shall We Dance? (2004 film) Notice how it behaves like you hovered over this link: Shall We Dance I believe the problem to be related to the question mark, which should probably be encoded like %3F. Shinobu (talk) 14:54, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

This issue should be fixed once Lupin applies #Nav Popups Bug: Character encoding troubles. In my private version of popups, this is already fixed, and I see the correct articles. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 16:29, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Suggested improved to the RC filter

Would it be possible for a user to choose to disable the notifications that you have previously rolled back an editor from appearing for select users? I at times find that I have accidentally rolled back an admin or other vandal fighter and the RC filter becomes flooded with notifications that I have rolled back the editor.--Urban Rose 17:42, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Another RC patrol suggestion

There is a popups/recentchanges patrol conflict (at least in FF2.0.0.12/WinXP) because the link for "history" is sort of wrong; it includes the diff= and oldid= parameters.

In User:Lupin/recent2.js, in the function recent2.doLine, would you consider changing:

 linkmaker(bundle.article+'&action=history', 'hist')

to:

 linkmaker(recent2.articlePath + bundle.articleTitle + '?action=history', 'hist')

I don't experience any problems with spaces, but one could also do:

 linkmaker(recent2.articlePath + bundle.articleTitle.replace(/ /g,'_') + '?action=history', 'hist')

[edit] spaces in section links

Hi Lupin,

when I click on a link to a section title in a popup (e.g. the link to "Transplantation#Art der Transplantation" in the popup for "autolog" in the German article de:Nabelschnurblut), spaces in the title aren't transformed to underscores as they are outside of popups, and the page gets opened at the top and not at the section.

[edit] Image:Rovers1970s.jpg

I have tagged Image:Rovers1970s.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale.

[edit] popup suggestion: history view

Hi, here's a suggestion for an addition to your popup script: when I hover over an article link, under "actions" it gives me the option "history" to view the article's history. I would like to see that same history popup when I hover over an article's History link at the top of the page. Often I want to quickly check when the last edit was done and whether it may have been vandalism. Thanks and cheers, AxelBoldt (talk) 21:52, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

As noted on the discussion page for User:Lupin/popups.js, TimR has created a fix for this new problem. Until it is incorporated in User:Lupin/popups.js, you can use TimR's code by inserting this after the User:Lupin/popups.js line in your monobook.js page:
importScript('User:TimR/misc.js');

[edit] query.php and api.php

If need arises, I have a version of Navigation popups that supports api.php User:TheDJ/apipopups.js It only uses the api.php where it previously used query.php and is backwards compatible. There is only a few small issues with imagepage content and detection of conflicts between images on commons and on en.wikipedia. But it works and if query.php is every disabled, it can be easily deployed here and in the Gadget version. I will be working on a slimpopups version that has as goal to replace the current gadget. It will be lighter to download, faster, use API wherever it can benefit and only support Wikipedia and current version mediawiki software. A lot of people are disabling popups Gadget because it has grown too big. The original idea was a good one, but for a gadget it is just too large --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 19:10, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Lupin, I can't tell you how much your anti vandal tool is appreciated around here. You probably know that already, but I thought I'd add my personal thanks and perhaps a request:

Is it possible to make a modification to the tool so that it shows additions to ANI? I guess that would be a different tool, but it would be super-helpful to have something like that available to admins. I've taken a look at the code and quickly discovered modifying what you have is far above my head so I'm not going to try to do it myself. It sure would be useful. Thanks!

This is for all of your tireless work making Wikipedia easier to use.

I have a suggestion though - could we have a way of whitelisting certain words on certain articles?
