User:PleaseStand/Subpage search

Subpage search is a user script by PleaseStand that adds a checkbox below the normal search box to limit the search to only subpages of the current page. For example, to search AfD discussions, go to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, type in your search, check the box, and click the Search button. The checkbox only appears on namespaces that allow subpages.

Installation

On the English Wikipedia

Add the following code to Special:MyPage/skin.js:

importScript("User:PleaseStand/subsearch.js");

Other wikis

If you are not on the English Wikipedia, you will need to use the following code instead:

// install [[Wikipedia:User:PleaseStand/Subpage search]] navigation tool - using custom configuration
SubsearchJsConfig = {
    text: "Subpages only",
    tooltip: "Search only the subpages of the current page",
    accesskey: "",
    style: "display: block; font-size: 80%; margin-top: 0.4em;",
    namespaces:
        // Replace this line with the code from http://YOURWIKI/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespaces&format=json
};
importScriptURI('http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=' +
'User:PleaseStand/subsearch.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');

You do need to fill in the line below namespaces: or the code will not work (of course). Go to the URL shown, replacing YOURWIKI with the actual hostname of your wiki. Save the code to a file and drag the file into Notepad. Copy the code and paste it in place of the comment line.
