Enable XTools gadget ^{Now with cross-wiki notifications}

This is the gadget of XTools.
It will add a line to the current page as shown in this example: (in fact, it's not yellow )

Show result summary of checks in tooltip

The color of See full page statistics-text changes, if the on-the-fly check (~ 1 sec) detects some issues. Currently the following checks are performed:

• Syntax: Known errors from WikiProject Check Wikipedia • toollabs:checkwiki
• Grammar: Checks with LanguageTool
• Wikidata: Checks several missing properties
• Links: Checks for broken links (beta)

You can quickly access the results via tooltip or see the full description in section #bugs
The gadget text is localized to the wiki's language, if it has been translated in translatewiki.net.

XTools cross-wiki notifications

If you are logged in with Wikimedia OAuth, you can get cross-wiki notifications from over 800 wiki's!

• You can configure the XAgent here: XAgent config
• How it works:
  1. XAgent queries your most edited + your recent edited wiki's (as listed in X! Edit Counter) + the wiki's you specified in XAgent's config every 60 seconds for new notifications.
  2. If you delete the session cookie or if the session ended, you'll have to login again.
  3. If you see this icon: , you are not logged in, otherwise a badge with the number of new (or zero) notifications is shown. Refresh your browser with F5

• Enhancements of this feature are work in progress (as you might see on the config page)
• ENJOY the new feature!

1. Normal method: common.js

The most common way to activate this gadget on one Wiki is to insert the following line into your common.js:

mw.loader.load('//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Hedonil/XTools/XTools.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');

Copy the line above and paste it into your common.js (create new one, if it doesn't exist)

• For en.wikipedia: en:Special:MyPage/common.js
• For de.wikipedia: de:Special:MyPage/common.js
• ...
• For meta.wikimedia: m:Special:MyPage/common.js
• For en.wikitionary: wikt:Special:MyPage/common.js
• For wikidata: wikidata:Special:MyPage/common.js
• For commons: commons:Special:MyPage/common.js

This works for the wiki where you modified the common.js and if you are logged in.
If you are using a script blocker like NoScript, wmflabs.org must be allowed.

2. Global method: global.js

This works for all Wikimedia Wiki's if you are logged in.
So, if you are editing/visiting many Wiki's you don't have to deal with multiple common.js settings! And as XTools-gadget is designed to work on all Wiki's, it's an ideal combination.

mw.loader.load('//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Hedonil/XTools/XTools.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');

1. Copy the line above and paste it into your global.js on Metawiki by clicking on the link below:
2. m:Special:MyPage/global.js

3. Alternative method: user script
