urldecoder is a userscript for easy pasting of links into wikicode.
How to use it:
- paste any URL
- (if desired) type a blank space and then the link name (what will be displayed):
http://de.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Qlik&lang=&q=Ding this page|
- select (highlight) the text you want decoded
- press the
button to get this:
[[:de:Ding|this page]]
The script will:
- automatically add brackets to form an external link,
- make it an internal link (if possible) using most Interwikimedia prefixes,
- percent-decode URL:
a %26 b→a & b- which is mostly useful in non-Latin wikis where most URLs look like
%D1%EB%F3%E6…
- which is mostly useful in non-Latin wikis where most URLs look like
- convert (now outdated) secure.wikimedia.org links to normal.
The script will simplify all URLs inside the text you select; it is not limited to processing a single url.
