Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Formatter/Auto Edit Summary/doc

The Formatter script automatically performs a number of common formatting operations.

To install, simply include this line in your monobook.js: 

importScript('Wikipedia:WikiProject_User_scripts/Scripts/Formatter');

importScript('Wikipedia:WikiProject_User_scripts/Scripts/Formatter/Auto Edit Summary');

Make sure you refresh (Ctrl+F5) after saving to complete the installation.

When using an edit box, you should have a tab called format. Click this to use Formatter. Make sure you preview all the changes before saving!

Functions

  • Standardises and removes excess whitespace (tabs, spaces, carriage returns etc.)
    • Does not break special case of using a space at the start of the line for preformatted data
  • Converts dashes, squared2 and degree° symbols to Unicode characters, e.g. –, – or – to – (U+2013)
    • Makes sure not to break items which should not be converted to Unicode
  • Fixes some common non-standard headings:
    • Standard headings have whitespace and capitalisation standardised, e.g. "== eXterNAL LiNKs ==" would become "==External links=="

    • "external links", "outside links", "web links" and "exterior links" sections become "External links"
