Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 20
News and updates associated with user scripts from the past month (January 2021).
Hello everyone and welcome to the 20th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter:
Scripts Submit your new/improved script here

- As a reminder, the legacy javascript globals (like accessing
wgPageName
without first assigning it a value or usingmw.config.get('wgPageName')
instead) are deprecated. If your user scripts make use of the globals, please update them to usemw.config
instead. Some global interface editors or local interface administrators may edit your user script to make these changes if you don't. See phab:T72470 for more.
- For people interested in creating user scripts or gadgets using TypeScript, a types-mediawiki package (GitHub, NPM) is now available that provides type definitions for the MediaWiki JS interface and the API.
- A GitHub organization has been created for hosting codebases of gadgets. Users who maintain gadgets using GitHub may choose to move their repos to this organization, to ensure continued maintenance by others even if the original maintainer becomes inactive.
- A script to ease reviewing Good Article nominations
- A script to help manage Z number templates
- ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests
As always, if anyone else would like to contribute, including nominating a featured script, help is appreciated. Stay safe, and happy new year! --DannyS712 (talk) 01:17, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Question
Hello CptViraj, after I made the request for the usurpation of the username (Kamilalibhat), I began thinking about the data of the account, Kamilalibhat. Will that data including number of edits, etc. be transfered to this account or not? I asked 331dot but he said that he is not certain what will happen. Now, could you please verify what will happen next? –KamilAlee 16:46, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- @KamilAleeBhat: It won't be transferred to this account. "Kamilalibhat" account will be renamed to "Kamilalibhat (usurped)". -- CptViraj (talk) 17:19, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- CptViraj, is there any criteria to merge two accounts of same person? –KamilAli 17:47, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
