Wikipedia talk:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Edit Top

I have a suggestion. Instead of all the f1r5tH34d1ng business, just change

document.getElementById("content").insertBefore(divContainer, theH1);

into:

document.getElementById("content").insertBefore(divContainer, document.getElementsByTagName("h1")[0]);

I tried that before and it didn't work for some reason. It works for you? --pile0nades^{talk | contribs} 15:37, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Questions like this are why I created Wikipedia:WikiProject_User_scripts/Techniques - we can simplfy this down to a specifc line of code, then try it on lots of different browsers, and see how portable it is. Do you get any error messages(like on the JavaScript Console, maybe?) I will try my version, and see if it works, and post on the techniques page. Thanks! JesseW 20:51, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It works for me, with Firefox 1.0.4 on OSX. What are you using? JesseW 20:56, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Script does not work for historical page[edit]

Attempts at editing an older version will only summon the current version. Circeus 19:35, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly, I've had trouble where an article title with an ampersand (for example Madam & Eve) will try to edit the top section of Madam when I use the javascript edit top link. -- nae'blis 20:57, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What am I missing?[edit]

I added the js to my user page, but it doesn't seem to be working. (No "edit" links for section 0.) I have dumped my cache a couple of times, and restarted the browser. I am probably doing something wrong, since I don't know js at all. Please see the page here: User:Pharillon/monobook.js Using Firefox 1.5.0.6 on Mac OS 10.4.

Advice appreciated. --Pharillon 07:28, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In your case, it looks like the }); might be missing from the end. Gimmetrow 04:08, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Diff pages[edit]

An edit link for section0 appears on diff pages, currently. Gimmetrow 04:08, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Same here... shows up on history pages too. Carl Lindberg 04:21, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

redundant?[edit]

Why is

|| window.location.href.indexOf("/wiki/Special:") != -1

repeatedly added? One if-statement could replace that. Also, why isn't this an includable script file? I've mirrored the contents at Gerbrant.edit.top and will be editing it as I see fit. You might want to watch that page. Or not. Bye, Shinobu 20:51, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pages with lowercase first letter[edit]

Pages with lowercase first letter at Template:Lowercase, should all have a link to this project page so that they can change the first letter to look like lowercase. Obviously, someone that knows how to use the code should implement it and test it out on the pages. Big pages are: iPod, and eBay. 70.111.218.254 13:38, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's a good idea to implement this as part of this module. It's better to start a seperate module. Maybe I'll have a go at it sometime. Shinobu 18:39, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you place {{lowercase|title=news.admin.net-abuse.email}} on the top of the page it can change it to lowercase. --70.111.218.254 00:54, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't work on Wikia.com[edit]

I noticed this doesn't work on Wikia.com. Would you like me to host a Wikia.com only version? I can't write it for you, but I can create the page as a subpage of Wikicities:User:Will Pittenger.

The problem:

URL created by the script:	http://starwars.wikia.com/w/index.php?title=User:Will_Pittenger/monobook.js&action=edit&section=0
Sample URL for section	http://starwars.wikia.com/index.php?title=User:Will_Pittenger/monobook.js&action=edit&section=1
Sample URL for page	http://starwars.wikia.com/index.php?title=User:Will_Pittenger/monobook.js&action=edit

Not working[edit]

Hi, I put the code in my monobok page User:Pgan002/monobook.js, but I can't see the edit links at the top. I am using the monobook skin. Any idea how to make it work? Thanks! -Pgan002 23:38, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Try first purging the server cache, then bypassing the browser cache (Ctrl + F5 for IE, Ctrl + Shift + R for FX). Pyrospirit ^{Flames Fire} 04:25, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Breaks on secure.wikimedia.org[edit]

The href portion of this script breaks when used on secure.wikimedia.org. What should be linked to is, for example, https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:The_Zen_of_Wikipedia&action=edit&section=0, but what you actually get https://secure.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:The_Zen%20of%20Wikipedia&action=edit&section=0.

In other words, instead of linking to root (/), secure.wikimedia.org needs a 'wikipedia/en/'. --Gwern (contribs) 18:46 17 June 2007 (GMT)

Considering that the author of this script made 13 edits this year, I wouldn't hope for a quick answer. Would you like to take a look at some other "Edit Top" scripts, for example Simple Edittop, which should work enywhere? ∴ Alex Smotrov 04:27, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redundant?[edit]

Does Special:Preferences>Gadgets>User interface gadgets>Add an [edit] link for the introduction section of a page make this script redundant? jnestorius^(talk) 22:58, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would say yes. This script simply uses a different approach for the same task. Also it automatically adds /* Intro */ to the edit summary, but this doesn't seem like a good idea to me, since this creates a fake "→" link to nonexisting #Intro section. —AlexSm 06:02, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
