re: cutting down code

Hi Kangaroopower. You asked me a while back whether it was possible to cut down on this TemplateScript code:

$.getScript( 'http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Pathoschild/Scripts/TemplateScript/dev.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript', function() {
	/* templates */
	if(pathoschild.TemplateScript.IsEnabled({forActions:'edit'})) {
		pathoschild.TemplateScript.Add([
			{ name:'Vandal-1', template:"{{subst:uw-vandalism1}} --~~~~", position:'after', editSummary:'Warning user for Vandalism edits', forNamespaces:3, category:'Vandals' },
			{ name:'Vandal-2', template:"{{subst:uw-vandalism2}} --~~~~", position:'after', editSummary:'Warning user for Vandalism edits', forNamespaces:3, category:'Vandals' },
			{ name:'Vandal-3', template:"{{subst:uw-vandalism3}} --~~~~", position:'after', editSummary:'Warning user for Vandalism edits', forNamespaces:3, category:'Vandals' },
			{ name:'Vandal-4', template:"{{subst:uw-vandalism4}} --~~~~", position:'after', editSummary:'Warning user for Vandalism edits', forNamespaces:3, category:'Vandals' },
			{ name:'Vandal-4im', template:"{{subst:Uw-vandalism4im}} --~~~~", position:'after', editSummary:'Warning user for Vandalism edits', forNamespaces:3, category:'Vandals' }
		]);
	}
});

The shortest code is still a loop, but the latest version of TemplateScript has a new feature that lets you specify common fields only once:

$.getScript( 'http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Pathoschild/Scripts/TemplateScript/dev.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript', function() {
	/* templates */
	pathoschild.TemplateScript.AddWith(
		{position:'after', 'editSummary':'Warning user for Vandalism edits', forActions:'edit', forNamespaces:3, category:'Vandals'},
		[
			{ name:'Vandal-1', template:"{{subst:uw-vandalism1}} --~~~~" },
			{ name:'Vandal-2', template:"{{subst:uw-vandalism2}} --~~~~" },
			{ name:'Vandal-3', template:"{{subst:uw-vandalism3}} --~~~~" },
			{ name:'Vandal-4', template:"{{subst:uw-vandalism4}} --~~~~" },
			{ name:'Vandal-4im', template:"{{subst:Uw-vandalism4im}} --~~~~" }
		]
	);
});

You should be automatically updated to the new version. :) —Pathoschild 05:42, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Synchbot request

Hello Kangaroopower. I just finished handling your request for global user pages, and archived the request & bot log. :) —Pathoschild 21:14, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Global CSS/JS migration

Hello Kangaroopower. You have global scripts in User:Kangaroopower/global.js, which you import using your local JS pages. Since August 2014, your global.js and global.css pages are loaded automatically on all wikis. Since you already import them yourself, you may experience script errors or tools being added twice. Do you want me to remove the global imports from your local pages using Synchbot (without changing any other content)? —Pathoschild 02:08, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Pathoschild... now that's a name I haven't seen in a long time :P. Yeah I'd appreciate the removal of the imports to my global.js file. Thanks! ---Kangaroopowah 19:48, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Done! You can see the log on your archive page. :) —Pathoschild 19:37, 05 July 2015 (UTC)
