Wikipedia:RedWarn/Unofficial builds
 | The RedWarn team is currently in the process of renaming to Ultraviolet. Some documentation pages are still in the process of being written/transferred. Read the announcement here. |
 | This essay is in development. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. Essays may represent widespread norms or minority viewpoints. Consider these views with discretion, especially since this page is still under construction. |
 | This page in a nutshell: RedWarn is an open-source project, and we encourage those with JavaScript knowledge to contribute or modify RedWarn with their own tweaks and fixes. However, modifying RedWarn designed to circumvent consensus is discouraged. |

RedWarn is a free and open-source project released under the Apache License 2.0. Per the license, you're free to create and upload your own modifications of RedWarn to the English Wikipedia. If you have experience with JavaScript and have noticed something you don't like in RedWarn, want to customise it further, or another similar thing you would like to change, you are free to modify RedWarn's source code to do so. If you think it would benefit other users, you can also leave a note on the RedWarn talk page of your suggestion, or you can make a merge request on the RedWarn repository on GitLab.
However, please be aware that as with other tools such as Huggle, RedWarn contains code that implements permission restrictions on the English Wikipedia as per community consensus. There are mechanisms in place that are designed to flag users who bypass these restrictions, but this is only so the RedWarn team can spot bad actors who are abusing a modified version of the tool.
That being said, we encourage you to help improve RedWarn, or customise it to your needs! See the RedWarn GitLab for further instructions on how to set up a development environment.
