User:BrandonXLF/HotDefaultSort

Hot Default Sort adds buttons beside the default sort key to add a default sort, modify the current default sort, and to remove the current default sort. UI is similar to Wikipedia:HotCat, but for default sort key rather than categories.

• Add the following to your common.js or your skin.js:

importScript('User:BrandonXLF/HotDefaultSort.js'); // [[User:BrandonXLF/HotDefaultSort.js]]

• Alternatively, use the following instead of the above:

mw.loader.load('/w/index.php?title=User:BrandonXLF/HotDefaultSort.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'); // [[User:BrandonXLF/HotDefaultSort.js]]

• To install on other wikis (for instance, globally in your global.js on the Meta-Wiki), use the following code:

mw.loader.load('https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:BrandonXLF/HotDefaultSort.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');

• After installing reload the page and clear your cache

Optionally, add any of the code snippets below to the JS file you installed the script in (eg. your common.js file) to change the settings for this script. For best compatibility, put them above the code that is used to load the script.

• window.hotDefaultSortInitKey = function (key, unset) { key += ' foo'; return key; }; – Set to a function to run the DEFAULTSORT key through before it is added to the editing input. The function is called with two parameters, key - the DEFAULTSORT key, and unset - a boolean that is set to true when the DEFAULTSORY key is not defined on the page (in this case, the DEFAULTSORT keyt defaults to the page title).

Comments are welcome on my talk page, be sure to indicate that you're talking about this script in the title. I would really like any suggestion to make the script run better.
