This is the workshop support page for the user script ViewAsOutline-Category.js. Comments and requests concerning the program are most welcome. Please post discussion threads below the section titled Discussions. Thank you. By the way, the various scripts I have written are listed at the bottom of the page.[1]
This script is functional
This script removes the alphabetical headings from the page listing on category pages, and adds * [[]] to the page listings for easy copying and pasting into lists and outlines. It also hides the bullets that are normally there. Once installed, it operates automatically – it does not have an on/off switch. Note that it does not affect the subcategory section.
RedlinksRemover.js – remove red linked list items that are end nodes (last item of a branch), reiteratively, and delink the rest, from outlines and lists.
Search results page enhancements
SearchSuite.js – suite of search features, each on a switch, so you can turn them on and off as desired (and it remembers the switch positions). SearchSuite replaces all the search scripts below.
StripSearchSorted.js – provides menu item that turns sorted strip search on/off; Includes the features of all the other search scripts below, and sorts the results alphabetically. Co-written by User:Evad37; he did the heavy-duty programming. StripSearch.js – provides menu item that turns strip search on/off; strips search results down to bare pagenames. StripSearchSansRedirecteds.js – strips search results down to bare pagenames, with redirected entries removed. No off switch. StripSearchInWikicode.js – strips search results down to bare pagenames, and presents as bullet list with pagenames enclosed in double square bracket link delimiters (just like in wikicode). Redirected entries are also removed. No off switch.
StripSearchSimple.js – strips all search results down to bare pagenames. No off switch.
Viewing enhancements for list and outline editors hunting for list items
ViewAsOutline-AllPagesWithPrefix.js – adds list item wikicodes to the on screen results of All pages with prefix, for easy copying/pasting into outlines and lists. No off switch.
ViewAsOutline-Category.js – removes the alphabetical headings, and adds list item wikicodes, for easy copying/pasting into outlines and lists. No off switch. ViewAsOutline-Book.js – converts page to outline format on screen, with wikicodes for easy copy and paste into outlines and lists. No off switch. ViewAsOutline-CategoryTree.js – on menu item click, converts tree to outline format on screen, with wikicodes for easy copying/pasting into outlines and lists. Refresh page to undo. ViewAsOutline-Templates.js – converts navboxes and sidebar boxes on current page into outline format, with wikicodes displayed, for easy copying/pasting into outlines. No off switch. (Needs to be enhanced to show base links rather than pipes.)
ViewAsOutline-Glossary.js – converts glossaries to list format on screen, with wikicodes for easy copy-and-paste into outlines and lists. No off switch. (In early development, very rough. Currently, only converts bullet list glossary format.).
Coming eventually
QuickPortal.js – portal tool, for creating and restarting portals. Will be expanded for modification and maintenance as well.
OutlineDedupeHolding.js – remove duplicate list items from the outline's holding sections (See also, holding bin, place these, general concepts, and list section). That is, it will remove from each of these sections, in turn, all topics that exist anywhere else in the body of the page (not in templates). StripSearchFilter.js – narrow down search results. OutlineMain2LI.js – convert main links in outline to list items. TopicPlacerFromBin.js – Topic placer (loads topics from holding bin into an array, then assists in placing each one). For use on lists and outlines. FetchCategory.js – import category to present location. FetchCategories.js – import categories to tagged locations. FetchSection.js – import section to present location.
TopicSender.js – prompts for parent topic (outline), then checks
if it is already there, if it isn't, then it sends it to the receiving section of that outline) PlaceCategory.js –
OutlineViewConventional.js – change the viewed formatting of the current outline into that of a conventionally indented outline, without headings.
