A userscript to help out at WP:REQ.
Installation instructions
[edit]Hint: It's much easier if you get ScriptInstaller, then navigate to User:Enterprisey/req-helper.js and click "Install" at the top.
However, here's the manual method:
- Place
{{subst:iusc|User:Enterprisey/req-helper.js}}on Special:MyPage/common.js or a skin-specific page, like Special:MyPage/vector.js. - Clear your cache and enjoy!
Usage
[edit]Whenever you visit a subpage of WP:REQ, the script will load its main panel at the top. From the panel, you can filter or highlight requests based on how many sources (i.e. links) they have, as well as perform cleanup tasks.
Cleanup
[edit]The "Page issues" panel lists formatting problems on the page. The rightmost panel has a couple of viewing options, and the tools for deleting requests. To clean up requests that are bluelinks:
- Check the "Also mark redirects for deletion", if you want to mark bluelinks that point to redirects.
- Click the "Mark bluelinks for deletion" button.
- Review the requests that have been struck out, to make sure that the bluelinks represent articles that have been actually created. This step is important - if someone requested an article on Foobar, the rock band, but the request link is blue because there's already an article on Foobar, the cleaning product, the request should be disambiguated instead of deleted. If you want to unmark a request, make sure that "Show delete option for each request" is checked and click the "undelete" link next to the request.
- Click the "Delete X requests" button to delete the requests.
