Example request:

Oldname → Newname
I'd like to change my username to "Newname" because that's the username I use on other projects. Thanks! - ~

Herr Kriss → Krzysiu
I'm globally changing my nicks, SUL Krzysiu is mine (proof). It's already done in several places. Thanks in advance! Herr Kriss (talk) 06:38, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Krzysiu already exists and is attached to your global account... -- Krenair (talk &bull; contribs) 09:37, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It's attached because when I have some wikis with Herr Kriss SUL and some with Krzysiu SUL and I have to switch it all the time, so sometimes I'm entering project with Krzysiu SUL and it creates account automatically. I'd want to have my edits moved from Herr Kriss to Krzysiu. Herr Kriss (talk) 00:22, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

New gadget: Dot's syntax highlighter
Hi, I'm trying to get meta:User:Remember the dot/Syntax highlighter made into a gadget for various projects. ResourceLoader/Migration guide (users) says that gadgets like this should be hosted on mediawiki.org. So, I'd like to ask that:


 * 1) MediaWiki:Gadget-DotsSyntaxHighlighter.js be created with the minified contents of meta:User:Remember the dot/Syntax highlighter.js: function breakerRegexWithPrefix(e){return new RegExp("("+e+")|"+breakerRegexBase,"gm")}function highlightSyntax{function u(e,t){e=e.replace(/\n/g,"\\A ");if(t==i){n+=e}else{if(webkit&&(/[!"#%&)*+,-.:;=\?>\\\]\|\}~]$/.test(n)&&/^[<\[\{]/.test(e)||n.substring(-1)=="-"&&e.substring(0,2)=="\\'")){e="​"+e}if(s){o="s"+r;if(r>maxSpanNumber){wpTextbox0.appendChild(document.createElement("span")).id=o;maxSpanNumber++}n+="'}#"+o+":before"}else{n+="'}#"+o+":after";r++}n+="{background-color:"+t+";content:'"+e;s=!s;i=t}}function a(n,r){r.lastIndex=t;var i;while(i=r.exec(e)){if(i[1]){u(e.substring(t,r.lastIndex),n);t=r.lastIndex;return}var s=e.substring(t,r.lastIndex-i[0].length);if(s!=""){u(s,n)}t=r.lastIndex;switch(i[0].charAt(0)){case"[":if(i[0].charAt(1)=="["){u("|n);a(syntaxHighlighterConfig.wikilinkColor||n,wikilinkBreakerRegex)}else{u(i[0],syntaxHighlighterConfig.externalLinkColor||n);a(syntaxHighlighterConfig.externalLinkColor||n,namedExternalLinkBreakerRegex)}break;case"{":if(i[0].charAt(1)=="{"){if(i[0].charAt(2)=="{"){u("{{{",syntaxHighlighterConfig.parameterColor||n);a(syntaxHighlighterConfig.parameterColor||n,parameterBreakerRegex)}else{u("{{",syntaxHighlighterConfig.templateColor||n);a(syntaxHighlighterConfig.templateColor||n,templateBreakerRegex)}}else{u("{|",syntaxHighlighterConfig.tableColor||n);a(syntaxHighlighterConfig.tableColor||n,tableBreakerRegex)}break;case"<":if(i[0].charAt(1)=="!"){u(i[0],syntaxHighlighterConfig.commentColor||n);break}else{var o="<";t=t-i[0].length+1;var f="";var l=false;e:while(t":break e}}break e;case"/":l=true;while(t"){break e}}break e;case">":break e;default:f+=c}}if(l){u(o,syntaxHighlighterConfig.tagColor||n)}else{var h="";if(["hiero","math","nowiki","pre","source","syntaxhighlight","timeline"].indexOf(f)!=-1){var p=e.indexOf(h,t);if(p==-1){p=e.length}else{p+=h.length}u(e.substring(t-o.length,p),syntaxHighlighterConfig.tagColor||n);t=p}else{u(o,syntaxHighlighterConfig.tagColor||n);if(!tagBreakerRegexCache[f]){tagBreakerRegexCache[f]=breakerRegexWithPrefix(h.replace(/([\\{}|.?*+\-\^$\[\)/g,"\\$1"))}a(syntaxHighlighterConfig.tagColor||n,tagBreakerRegexCache[f])}}}break;case"h":case"f":case"g":u(i[0],syntaxHighlighterConfig.externalLinkColor||n);break;case"=":if(/[^=]=+$/.test(e.substring(t,e.indexOf("\n",t)))){u("=",syntaxHighlighterConfig.headingColor||n);a(syntaxHighlighterConfig.headingColor||n,headingBreakerRegex)}else{u("=",n)}break;case"*":case"#":case":":u(i[0],syntaxHighlighterConfig.listAndIndentColor||n);break;case";":u(";",syntaxHighlighterConfig.headingColor||n);a(syntaxHighlighterConfig.headingColor||n,headingBreakerRegex);break;case"-":u(i[0],syntaxHighlighterConfig["hrColor"]);break;case"\\":if(i[0].length==6){u("\\'\\'\\'",syntaxHighlighterConfig.boldColor||n);a(syntaxHighlighterConfig.boldColor||n,boldBreakerRegex)}else{u("\\'\\'",syntaxHighlighterConfig.italicColor||n);a(syntaxHighlighterConfig.italicColor||n,italicBreakerRegex)}break;case"~":u(i[0],syntaxHighlighterConfig.signatureColor||n);break;case"&":u(i[0],syntaxHighlighterConfig.entityColor||n)}r.lastIndex=t}}lastText=wpTextbox1.value;var e=lastText.replace(/['\\]/g,"\\$&")+"\n";var t=0;var n="";var r=0;var i;var s=true;var o;if(presto){e+=Array(wpTextbox1.scrollWidth).join(" ")}var f=Date.now;a("inherit",defaultBreakerRegex);u(e.substring(t),"inherit");syntaxStyleElement.textContent=n.substring(2)+"'}";var l=Date.now;if(l-f>150){clearInterval(highlightSyntaxIfNeededIntervalID);syntaxStyleElement.textContent="";wpTextbox1.removeEventListener("input",highlightSyntax);wpTextbox1.style.backgroundColor="";wpTextbox1.style.position="";wpTextbox0.style.color="red";wpTextbox0.style.fontFamily="";wpTextbox0.style.fontWeight="bold";wpTextbox0.style.height="";wpTextbox0.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Syntax highlighting on this page was disabled because your computer is too slow.

 * 3) MediaWiki:Gadget-DotsSyntaxHighlighter be created with * Dot's syntax highlighter, make syntax stand out colorfully in the edit box. Works best in Firefox, works almost all of the time in Opera, and works most of the time in Chrome. Should not be used with the browser's page zoom feature.
 * 4) The following line be added to MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition under "editing-gadgets": DotsSyntaxHighlighter[ResourceLoader]|DotsSyntaxHighlighter.js

I hope you find this gadget helpful. There is a related discussion at wikipedia:Wikipedia:Gadget/proposals about getting this onto the English Wikipedia. —Remember the dot (talk) 21:43, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I've done #2, though you could've done it yourself. For #1, can we please not use minified JS? -- Krenair (talk &bull; contribs) 21:51, 25 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I didn't want to move the documentation before the source code was moved, but I suppose it doesn't really matter. I provided minified code because I don't know of any other way to minify the script than to minify it manually. Gadgets hosted locally and used locally are minified through the local ResourceLoader, but this is not the case when loading a gadget cross-wiki. The regular source code will still be available (I'll move it here also) no matter what. —Remember the dot (talk) 22:00, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
