User:Fred Gandt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from User:EddyFragment)

Hiya!

I love understanding and loathe ignorance, and feel strongly that knowledge should be free and accessible.

I see clear evidence that the wisdom of the crowd exists and is flourishing on the web and actively support open source and community projects including Wikipedia.

I do what I can to help but will perhaps never be as prolific or as accurate an editor as ClueBot, but then what human could be?

There are currently 6,914,763 articles on the English Wikipedia, curated by 48,305,643 registered and a whole bunch of unregistered Wikipedians!

See Featured articles for the cream of the crop.

This font is Gabriola and the background photo is Mount Sharp on Mars, taken by Curiosity.

I am committed

Committed identity: 60b82b3d0153589c33032c1b7fb595f96fe45cde6b85c0bfcfe7e758b786e04bc5d88172925b474d4913cb9b9968999ec58104c4b74684b4b1fb4c7d47b5906d is a SHA3-512 commitment to this user's real-life identity.

My first username on Wikipedia was "EddyFragment" (redirected here). When I changed my name, I didn't think to change my name, so now have accidentally got two names!

My timezone

[edit]

As a UK resident, my time zone is UTC+01:00 during BST, and GMT the rest of the time. I am however naturally nocturnal so my active times would be typically more inline with a diurnal person living in, say, Caracas. Hope that helps 😜

Selected articles to which I've done a lot

[edit]

But not necessarily recently

My sandbox

[edit]

Welcome to my laboratory, where safety is number one priorityNOT – Mwahahaha!

Find links to stuff I've made or am working on, including user scripts.

Transcluded from my sandbox.

My JavaScript & Cascading Style Sheets

[edit]
  • Developed for the Vector (legacy/2010 not 2022) skin; may not work well or at all for others
  • May conflict with other user scripts, stylesheets or Gadgets
  • Some do conflict with MediaWiki "Web Fonts" (will look into it)

My common JS & CSS

[edit]

Currently in use and reliable

[edit]
  • navigationUI.js – compressed navigation user interface with expanded content; "sticky header" since 2016 😜
  • quickLinks.js – discrete UI widget for easily maintaining a user defined list of bookmarks; interwiki use (nearly)
  • allowTabs.js – tab key inserts a tab character instead of jumping to next input whilst editing
  • showSpecialDiffLink.js – shows a configured [[Special:Diff/oldid/diff]] link syntax on diff pages
  • correctFirstHeadingOfSpecialPages.js – does what it says on the tin; e.g. special page first heading "User contributions for Fred Gandt" becomes "Special:Contributions/Fred_Gandt"
  • unwatchList.js – unwatch (and rewatch if you make a mistake) pages directly while viewing changes to your watchlist
    • Functionality built into preferences now; apply some CSS and it's not bad; probably more efficient

On the todo list

[edit]

Not fully fleshed out

[edit]

Possibly working; definitely nasty

[edit]
  • globalWatchlist.js – watchlists from all projects linked to Watchlist; needs streamlining

Avoid like the plague!

My templates

[edit]

My modules

[edit]

I consider myself a novice Lua learner.

In progress

[edit]

It seems like I'm currently doing something else...

Semi complete

[edit]

Safe space for testing

[edit]

Because messing about for days or weeks at a time in other Module's sandboxes is likely to be bothersome to other editors

Some good stuff I like
