Bharatpedia talk:User scripts

AntiVandal

Hello @Bharatwiki Socrates and Ajay Kumar:, I've created Bharatpedia:AntiVandal, a user script intended to help with anti-vandalism work on Bharatpedia. If you have some time, I’d really appreciate it if you could test it by adding the following line to your common.js:

mw.loader.load('/w/index.php?title=User:WikiDwarf/AntiVandal.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');

Please use it for a while and let me know whether everything is working as expected, or if you notice anything that could be improved, changed, or fixed. Since you have experience with anti-vandalism/admin work, your feedback would be especially useful. Thanks! WikiDwarf (talk) 14:53, 21 September 2026 (IST)

I used AntiVandal, and when I tried to warn a user or post a message, it sent the message and warning with your signature. The page-protection request works fine, but it should ideally show a pre-written format not blank page, where the user only needs to mention the article, protection level, and reason for protection. Most importantly, when I clicked "Revert last editor", it didn't work at all. It simply says "onlyauthor".

I can sense you did really hard work for this tool as Tool creation require lots of coding effort, appreciating your work. 🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁(📩) 15:20, 21 September 2026 (IST)

WikiDwarf, create an alternative account to test the tool as general user. Remind me when it’s ready, and I’ll check again. I remember Twinkle on Wiki took more than six months to be created, so there’s no need to hurry. 🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁(📩) 15:26, 21 September 2026 (IST)

Sure, let me check these issues and fix them. And yes, that's a good idea to test it with a different account. I'll create a separate testing account and check the tool from a regular user's perspective as well. I've actually been working on this for about a month now. I was testing everything on my local machine, and it was working fine there, but it sounds like some parts may be restricted to my own user account. I'll look into that and fix it.

I'll also check the signature issue, the protection request form, and especially the "Revert last editor" function. Thank you very much for taking the time to test it and for the detailed feedback. It really helps. I'll let you know once I've made the changes and it's ready for another round of testing. WikiDwarf (talk) 15:39, 21 September 2026 (IST)

Bharatwiki Socrates Done. I've fixed the issues you pointed out above. Please test the script when you have time and let me know if everything is working properly.

@Editorial Oversight: I also noticed that you've enabled the script, so please test it from your end as well and let me know whether it works properly for you as a regular user, without rollback or reviewer rights. Thank you. WikiDwarf (talk) 17:58, 21 September 2026 (IST)

Yes, I tested it. The beginning is good, but I think it still needs quite a bit of work.

There are a few reasons. First, it doesn't revert all vandalism with a single click. Second, I don't see any option for issuing warnings in the script yet.

Also, as far as I understand, there isn't a mobile version available yet, correct? I had to switch to my laptop to use the script.

I think it would be better to continue using rollback rights for now, until the script is fully completed and stable. Once the remaining features are added and properly tested, it could be more useful for regular anti-vandalism work. Editorial Oversight^{(Talk with me)} 18:25, 21 September 2026 (IST)

Thanks for testing it and for the feedback. I've now improved the script and added additional options, including user warnings, welcoming new users, and mass rollback. Please review the updated version and let me know if everything is working well or if you think it still needs further improvements.

You can also review the documentation for more details. I'll continue improving and testing it to make it more useful for regular anti-vandalism work. WikiDwarf (talk) 20:18, 21 September 2026 (IST)

I tested again the Revert, Warn and Welcome features, and all are working. They’re working much better than before. Nice improvements! Editorial Oversight^{(Talk with me)} 21:06, 21 September 2026 (IST)
