User:Pathoschild/Watched discussions
This page is a terrible, fragile hack used to watch discussions across every wiki. It will probably never be packaged into a script others can use, because it's such a hack and will hopefully be replaced by Flow one day.
Usage[edit]
When I want to watch a discussion:
- I edit the section and run this script:
var entry = { domain: mw.config.get('wgServerName'), page: (mw.config.get('wgCanonicalNamespace') + ':' + mw.config.get('wgTitle')).replace(/_/g, ' '), section: parseInt(mw.util.getParamValue('section')), sectionName: $.trim($('#wpSummary').val().replace(/\/\* (.+) \*\//, '$1')) }; prompt('', '\t' + JSON.stringify(entry) + ',');
- Paste it into a
<source lang="javascript" class="section-watchlist" />below. - And run this script to view all listed discussions on this page:
var pathoschild = pathoschild || {}; /** * Given a list of crosswiki page sections, this page fetches each one and shows it on the page. */ pathoschild.sectionWatcher = function() { "use strict"; /********* ** Fields *********/ var self = {}; /********* ** Private methods *********/ /** * Get metadata about a section from the wiki's API. * @param {string} domain The domain name to query (like 'meta.wikimedia.org'). * @param {string} pageName The full name of the page (like 'User talk:Pathoschild'). * @param {int} section The section number to fetch. * @returns A promise which returns data in the form { pageID:42, title:"...", content:"<html>..." }. */ var _getSection = function(domain, pageName, section) { return $ .ajax({ url: '//' + domain + '/w/api.php', data: { format: 'json', action: 'query', prop: 'revisions', titles: pageName, rvprop: 'content|timestamp', rvsection: section, rvparse: true }, dataType: 'jsonp' }) .then(function(data) { // handle error if(data.error) return { error: '[' + data.error.code + '] ' + data.error.info + '\n' + data.error['*'] }; // get content var pageID = Object.keys(data.query.pages)[0]; var content = $('<div>').html(data.query.pages[pageID].revisions[0]['*']); // fix relative links content.find('a').each(function(i, link) { $(link).attr('href', function(i, url) { return !url.startsWith('//') ? '//' + domain + url : url; }); }); // fix section number in edit link content.find('.mw-editsection a').attr('href', function(i, href) { return href.replace(/section=1/, 'section=' + section); }); return { pageID: pageID, sectionName: content.find('.mw-headline:first').text(), content: content.html(), hasResponse: (function() { var text = $.trim(content.text()); return text.lastIndexOf('—Pathoschild') < text.lastIndexOf('\n'); // last line doesn't contain my signature })() }; }); }; /** * Build the UI for a watchlist. * @param {jQuery} source The element containing watchlist data. */ var _prepareUI = function(source) { source = $(source).hide(); var output = source.next('.section-watchlist-result').empty(); if(!output.length) output = $('<div>').addClass('section-watchlist-result').insertAfter(source); return output; }; /********* ** Public methods *********/ /** * Hook into the current page if it contains a topic watchlist. */ self.initialise = function() { mw.util.addCSS([ '.mw-headline small { margin-left:2em; font-size:0.8em; color:gray; font-style:italic; }', 'li[data-has-response="0"] { opacity:0.5; }', 'li[data-has-error="1"] { opacity: 1; }' ].join('\n')); $('.section-watchlist').each(function(i, source) { // prepare UI var output = _prepareUI(source); // parse watchlist data try { source = JSON.parse($(source).text()); } catch(error) { $('<pre>').addClass('error').text('Can\'t parse watchlist: ' + (error && error.stack || error)).appendTo(output); return; } // build watchlist var list = $('<ol>').appendTo(output); $.each(source, function(i, entryData) { var entry = $('<li>').appendTo(list); _getSection(entryData.domain, entryData.page, entryData.section).then(function(section) { // get source link var source = $('<small>').text('from ' + entryData.domain + '/wiki/' + entryData.page); // handle error if(section.error) { entry.append([ $('<h2></h2>').addClass('mw-headline').text('{Error}').append(source), $('<pre></pre>').addClass('error').text(section.error) ]); return; } // add content entry.html(section.content); // validate section name if(section.sectionName != entryData.sectionName) { $('<div>').addClass('error').text('Expected a section named "' + entryData.sectionName + '" instead of "' + section.sectionName + '"; it might have gotten moved.').insertAfter(entry.find('h1, h2, h3, h4, h5').first()); entry.data('data-has-error', 1); } // attach metadata entry.attr('data-has-response', section.hasResponse ? 1 : 0); // indicate source source.appendTo(entry.find('.mw-headline')); }); }); }); }; return self; }; pathoschild.sectionWatcher().initialise();
Each discussion is transcluded into the dated section (as if they had occurred on this page), and discussions whose last comments are mine are grayed out.
