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 )
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 ist localized to the wiki's language, if it has been translated in translatewiki.net.
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:
- 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.
- If you delete the session cookie or if the session ended, you'll have to login again.
- 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 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.
