 | Per the Showing Editnotices to mobile editors RfC this gadget will soon be deployed on English Wikipedia. |
When it takes an unpaid volunteer less than a day to do client-side what a team of paid WMF-developers couldn't accomplish on their end in more than 3 years (maybe 5) despite the community begging them to do it. Which caused the community to beg them to do it.. again. Yeah, there's absolutely no chasm between the WMF/developers and the community.
Do not use script-installer! Script-installer uses importScript() which is unavailable on mobile.
Some historical background: in a very limited sense, EditNoticesOnMobile could be considered a kind-of spinoff from Bawl. The projects don't share a lot of code but I had already figured out how to display an edit notice for that project. Admittedly, this explains in part how the initial version of EditNoticesOnMobile could have been written in a day.

Where do I report feature requests and bugs?
[edit]On the talk page. Please ping me if you want a quick response.
How to install
[edit]Do not use script-installer! Script-installer uses importScript() which is unavailable on mobile. Add this to m:Special:MyPage/global.js to load the script globally:
if ( mw.config.get('skin') == 'minerva' ) {mw.loader.load('//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Alexis_Jazz/EditNoticesOnMobile.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');}
To load the script on a specific Wikimedia project, add the line to Special:MyPage/minerva.js on the project in question instead.
How do I install this wiki-wide for all users?
[edit]First copy the contents of User:Alexis Jazz/EditNoticesOnMobile.js to MediaWiki:Gadget-EditNoticesOnMobile.js on your wiki.
As a gadget
[edit]- Create MediaWiki:Gadget-EditNoticesOnMobile with for example
Enable [[Wikipedia:Editnotice|editnotices]] on the mobile site. ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-EditNoticesOnMobile.js|source]]) - Add this line in a relevant section in MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition:
EditNoticesOnMobile[ResourceLoader|targets=mobile|skins=minerva|supportsUrlLoad=true|default]|EditNoticesOnMobile.js
Users will be able to turn off the script in their preferences. (if they are logged in) EditNoticesOnMobile supports both mobile and desktop Minerva.
Desktop Minerva
[edit]Just FYI, nobody uses desktop Minerva.
- Copy contents of User:Alexis Jazz/EditNoticesOnMobile-desktop.js to MediaWiki:Gadget-EditNoticesOnMobile-desktop.js on your wiki.
- Create MediaWiki:Gadget-EditNoticesOnMobile-desktop with for example
Enable [[Wikipedia:Editnotice|editnotices]] on desktop Minerva. ([[MediaWiki:Gadget-EditNoticesOnMobile-desktop.js|source]]) - Add this line in a relevant section in MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition:
EditNoticesOnMobile-desktop[ResourceLoader|targets=desktop|skins=minerva|actions=edit|supportsUrlLoad=true|default]|EditNoticesOnMobile-desktop.js
In Mobile.js
[edit]Add
mw.loader.load(mw.config.get('wgServer')+'/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Gadget-EditNoticesOnMobile.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');
to MediaWiki:Mobile.js. Users won't be able to turn the script off.
You need to be an interface administrator to install a script for all users.
