[Bug 51958] Watchlist and recent changes should be able to show diffs inline
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51958 --- Comment #11 from Bartosz Dziewoński matma@gmail.com --- Works and I like it :) If we wanted to make this a core feature, I think we should just make it hook to the N changes / cur | prev links instead of adding more (as the watchlist interface is already rather cluttered and intimidating). When we do that, we should make viewing the diff inline update the page visitedness status (whether the pages on Watchlist are bolded; I think there's some default gadget at en.wp which disables this incredibly useful feature :(, so you'd have to disable it to see the result there). If we were to merge your script into core MediaWiki, we'd have to make it adhere to our coding conventions (see [[mw:CC]] and [[mw:CC/JS]]) and you'd have to agree to a relicense it under GNU GPL or a compatible license (e.g. MIT) – unfortunately CC BY-SA (under which you implicitly released it by putting it in a Wikipedia page) is apparently not compatible, but things can easily have multiple different licenses. As for general review of the code, if you're interested :) * After you click the [inspect diff] link, there's a period of time when nothing is happening (while the API request is loading) – there needs to be some indicator that the script is not stuck. I pastebinned a simple solution here: http://pastebin.com/cb7W2U9i , feel free to use it. * Why are you allowing only one API request to be active at a time? * Selectors like :contains are rather slow and should not be used unless absolutely necessary; not sure if this is the cause, but the script can take a few seconds to set up the buttons on large pages * Changing the 'type' of inputs and buttons after they are created will throw an exception on IE=8; it's better to use something like $('input type=button')[0] to create them * Using Object.keys will likewise throw an exception on some older browsers, I think. * We have a few fancy libraries you could use instead of reimplementing some logic, like mediawiki.api or mediawiki.Uri, or the aforementioned jquery.spinner. They all are (or should be) documented at https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/js/ and can be loaded using mw.loader.using([dependencies], callback) like in my pastebin above. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Seems to work on my watchlist and RC on en at least; is there a different thing for which it doesn't work? If you bundle changes, (by enabling in preferences: [Recent change]-Group changes by page in recent changes and watchlist and [Watchlist]-Expand watchlist to show all changes, not just the most recent) then it doesn't work. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51958 --- Comment #8 from writ.keeper.e...@gmail.com --- Well, jeez, it's hardly my fault that, if you switch the grouped RC changes on, it changes the format for both RC *and* watchlist to use tables instead of uls. (Is that a bug, by the way? Why would changing an RC setting also change the format of the watchlist too? Switching on the expanded watchlist without switching on the grouped RC doesn't change the format of the watchlist page, and the script still works.) Anyway, I'll fix that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51958 --- Comment #10 from writ.keeper.e...@gmail.com --- Okay, done! I think it should work on the enhanced RC and watchlist now, for both collapsing and uncollapsing entries. Give it a shot and let me know if it works, and whether there are any more suggestions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

To test: importScript('User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/commonHistory.js'); I think this could be a good new gadget (for now, and possibly a mediawiki feature in future months/years); I shall suggest that on the talkpage, next. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
