User options edit

Quick interactive costumization edit

The simple on/off switch options can be set interactively on Special:Blankpage as soon as the script library has been loaded.

When reloading a page the preferences declared here come into effect. This dynamic assignment overrides the static setting by JavaScript.

These user preferences are not visible to other users.

Even anonymous users may store preferences, but for current browser profile only (utilizing localStorage).

if ( typeof mw.libs.clickDivertimento !== "object" ) {
   mw.libs.clickDivertimento  =  { };
}
mw.libs.clickDivertimento.key1 = value1;

Default: false – watchlists and “recent changes”
leave true All external links shall be opened in new browser window.
Default: false – unchanged layout
mode 0 Create entirely new window.

  • Array with elements
    • string – to be found literally in URL
