This is the documentation for David's new messages user script.
This script adds a "history" link to the "You have new messages" box. The link is to the history of your user talk page. Here is how the box looks without and with this script:
Usage edit
To use this script put the below code in your personal JavaScript page.
importScript( "User:Davidgothberg/newmessageshistory.js" );
Nowadays scripts here on Wikipedia usually start working immediately (on next page load). But if not, then you need to wait one minute for the servers to update, then bypass your browser cache to load this script the first time.
Technical details edit
Tested and works in Firefox 2.0, Opera 9.02 and Internet Explorer 5.5.
Works in all the skins on the English Wikipedia.
The script itself (the javascript code) is at User:Davidgothberg/newmessageshistory.js.
This script was created by and is maintained by: User:Davidgothberg
