On line 101, please change

ajax: { headers: { 'Api-User-Agent': 'w:en:User:SD0001/find-archived-section.js' } }

to

ajax: { headers: { 'Api-User-Agent': 'w:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-find-archived-section.js' } }

Now that the script has moved, to avoid linking to the redirect left behind. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 06:38, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Please apply this update (diff). This allows the script to find sections with quotation marks in its title such as this one. – Thjarkur (talk) 11:47, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

@SD0001: any comments on this? — xaosflux ^Talk 14:14, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Update

Please sync with contents of User:SD0001/find-archived-section2.js (compare). Changes:

• better i18n setup – define the messages properly and use mw.msg() instead of manual string replaces.
• don't trigger on anchors used by convenientDiscussions gadget for linking to user comments – since they aren't actually archived sections.

 Done @SD0001: ping me if you see any problems needing reversion. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:46, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Update

An unannounced breaking change occurred in MediaWiki API recently that has essentially broken this gadget. Please apply this fix that resolves the issue. – SD0001 (talk) 14:53, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Hey, sorry, SD0001, but could you describe a little bit about what's broken, so that I'd know what I'm changing? Testing the gadget out, it seems to work all right for me, but I might jsut be missing what the expected outcome for the script is. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 13:56, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Writ Keeper. Follow one of the links in user:SD0001/find-archived-section/testcases - the gadget currently fallbacks to the behaviour of simply saying the section is archived and linking the search result. Ideally, it should locate the archived section and link to it directly. – SD0001 (talk) 14:27, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Ah, got it; looks good, then.  Done, thanks! Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 15:03, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Please sync from User:SD0001/find-archived-section2.js (diff).

This suppresses the script from being triggered on URL hashes used by DiscussionTools and RedWarn. See Wikipedia talk:RedWarn/2020/July#Odd string of text appears when leaving a notice on talk page. for documentation on conflict with RedWarn. – SD0001 (talk) 06:20, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

 Done. Seems weird that Redwarn works that way but...*shrug* Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 15:31, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Support Wikipedia:Teahouse

Similar to Reference desk above, please add a special case for Wikipedia:Teahouse:

			case "Wikipedia:Teahouse":
				return "Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions";
			default:
				return prefix;

to find archive subpages of "Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions". Two new tests were added to the bottom of the testcases page. —⁠andrybak (talk) 00:32, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

I just realized that it won't work, because Teahouse doesn't use __NEWSECTIONLINK__ (big blue custom button is used instead). The script checks presence of the "Add topic" link/button, see var addsection = document.getElementById('ca-addsection');. Would it make sense to add the ID to the Teahouse's custom button to trick the script? —⁠andrybak (talk) 16:57, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Possibly? Let me know if you want this backed out in the meantime. — xaosflux ^Talk 18:04, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

It works: Special:Diff/1222763688. Thank you. —⁠andrybak (talk) 19:38, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
