There seems to be something buggy with this script. Can you please check? The option is always visible, but does not load the RefCon window. --Kailash29792 (talk) 16:01, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi @Kailash29792, could you give me some specific article that it does not work with? Also, what browser are you using? I just checked the script on a random article and it loaded the window fine. Cumbril (talk) 18:51, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

I tried with both Chrome and Firefox, it worked only once or twice. Is any other of my scripts negating this? Kailash29792 (talk) 02:02, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: possibly. You can disable other scripts and see what happens. You could also open DevTools in Google Chrome (F10 key) and see if you can spot some message on console when you click the link. Cumbril (talk) 20:30, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Script question

Hi Cumbril. Your IP labeller looks like a really interesting script. I was wondering if you had any ideas on the feasibility of a script I think would be very useful. When dealing with IPv6 address vandalism, it can be very difficult to distinguish one vandal on a broad range from several vandals on individually narrow ranges. What I sometimes wish I had was a button on any page listing revisions, that I could press, and it would just run down the page and assign a unique color to each /64 subnet, or whatever other range size specified, probably multiples of 16 for simplicity. Yeah, any ideas on whether that would be possible, how hard, or how to do it? Thanks. Someguy1221 (talk) 04:41, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Ref organizer improvements

Instead of the random 5 character stings for a ref name, it would be a lot better to use a systematic reference name, like

1. Reference-A/Reference-B/Reference-C... or similar Ref-A/Ref-B/Ref-C/...

That would make a lot more sense to people than something like tX4rS

And if possible it would be even better if it could try to generate a sensible name from existing parameters in certain cases. Specifically |last= or |author=, and |year= or |date=

1. Smith2018 for Smith, J. (2018). "The greatest thing out there". Journal of Stuff. 34 (1): 324.
2. JSmith2018 or "J Smith 2018" for J. Smith (2018). "The greatest thing out there". Journal of Stuff. 34 (1): 324.

+When renaming references, also handle those in {{r}}, e.g. [1]. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:24, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Edit references inside of Reference Consolidate window

Hi! I love your script User:Kaniivel/RefConsolidate start.js! I do have one request: could you please implement a way to edit the references inside of its popup? It is a great UI and it would be even better if the content of the refs could be edit inside of the window it makes. Something similar that you might be able to borrow code from is User:PleaseStand/References segregator.

Thanks a ton for your amazing script, DemonDays64 (talk) 22:09, 16 April 2020 (UTC) (please ping on reply)

A cup of tea for you!

Hello and thank you for your Reference Organizer script! This is going to make a job I was not looking forward to much easier :) Douginamug (talk) 11:31, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Help with install

Could you take a look at my javascript page and perhaps deduce why I am not seeing the Ref Consolidate tool showing up in my "More" menu? I have tried Shift+reload, of course. - AppleBsTime (talk) 18:30, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

@AppleBsTime:

1. It loads only in main namespace and in user namespace
2. You could try to use it like this: mw.loader.load( '/w/index.php?title=User:Kaniivel/RefConsolidate_start.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript', 'text/javascript' ); // Backlink: [[User:Kaniivel/RefConsolidate_start.js]]
3. If this didn't do the trick then force browser cache reload (Ctrl + F5)

Kaniivel (talk) 18:40, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Bingo. I hadn't thought to navigate to an article in Main space. Thank you! - AppleBsTime (talk) 18:52, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Issues with Mac Browsers?

Hi, I tried to install your ref consolidater onto Safari + Firefox + Chrome + (clean) Opera (yes, I tried everything..) but it does not work properly, it does not open the "organize ref" modals at all, just opens the article in edit source mode. On Windows it seem to work w/o issues. CommanderWaterford (talk) 11:57, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
