Installation/Usage

To use Wiki Power Tools, you need to add some lines to your monobook.js file, assuming you use the Monobook skin.

1. Add the WPT script. There are a couple ways to do this. The easiest is to link to <http://www.cubewano.org/wpt/scripts/COMBINED.css> and <http://www.cubewano.org/wpt/scripts/COMBINED.js>:

   document.write('<style type="text/css">@import "http://www.cubewano.org/wpt/scripts/COMBINED.css";</style>');
   document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.cubewano.org/wpt/scripts/COMBINED.js"></script>');
   

   If you don't trust me not to steal your Wikipedia account, you can copy the script to your own Wikipedia user page or other web space and link to that instead.

   A componetized version is <http://www.cubewano.org/wpt/scripts/ALL.css> and <http://www.cubewano.org/wpt/scripts/ALL.js>. The advantage of the componetized version is less reloading when one module changes; the disadvantage is more server connections are required, and it does not compress as well.

2. Create a user subpage for your preferences. This must go in a separate script, not in the same page that loaded the Power Tools (monobook.js), because your preferences must be loaded /after/ the Power Tools are loaded.

3. Link to your preferences, for example if it is named User:Quarl/usermain.js:

   function winc(s) {
       s = s.replace(/^\[\[/, '').replace(/\]\]$/, '');
       document.write('<scr'+'ipt type="text/javascript" src="'
                + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=' + s
                + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></scr'+'ipt>');
   }
   
   winc('[[User:Quarl/usermain.js]]');
   

Compatibility

Note: The toolkit weighs in at a hefty 100 kB (300 kB if your browser does not support Content-Encoding: gzip, but most likely it does if it meets the javascript requirements).
