Suggestion
editThanks, nice script. I would like a couple of things though:
- Option to remove {{nac}}: for some closes it's inappropriate for the venue and a pain to remove right after the edit.
- A dropdown of useful characters (e.g. the endash (–) or four tildes). It's a pain having to go into a new tab, type 'endash', then copy and paste the symbol back.

- @J947: I agree with the thing about {{nac}}, and have been planning on solving that when I have time. As for the useful characters, I have no idea where to start with that, but I find that I don't need them. I just use "-" on the keyboard, and ~~~~ is also pretty easy to type. --DannyS712 (talk) 02:08, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- Fair enough, I agree that the second point is a minor one that doesn't need to be solved on reflection. Thanks for working on the {{nac}} thingamajig. J947 (c), at 02:13, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- @J947: I have completely removed the addition of the nac tag --DannyS712 (talk) 01:39, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- Could it be added back on an optional basis? Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:57, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Suggestion for RM closure
edit@DannyS712: Instead of removing {{requested move/dated}} can the script rather replace it with {{subst:requested move/end}}? Per WP:RMCLOSE instructions. comrade waddie96 ★ (talk) 12:59, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
Suggestions
editOverall it's a really neat and helpful script, but I do have a few suggestions:
- Add support for {{Discussion top}} (({{dtop}}).
- Increase the
z-index
to a high number like 1000 to prevent the sidebar going above the popup and background. - Use OOUI for the interface

- @DannyS712: It would also be nice if the window was movable and was more of a popup than an overlay, but the current system is fine.– BrandonXLF (talk) 06:09, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- @BrandonXLF: thanks for the ping; I'll take a look at writing a v.2 that uses OOUI DannyS712 (talk) 06:10, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
Script is broken
editWhatever bottom script it substitutes is a redirect. The correct property to use is {{subst:RM bottom}}

Loads Twinkle
editHi @DannyS712, can you remove 'ext.gadget.Twinkle'
in the dependencies list on line 298? I believe this was present because Abelmoshcus Esculentus' script originally depended on Morebits which wasn't a gadget by itself at that time. Now I don't see either Morebits or Twinkle being necessary for this to work. BTW even mediawiki.api and mediawiki.Title look unnecessary. – SD0001 (talk) 19:00, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reping @DannyS712. The presence of twinkle in dependencies is somewhat disruptive as it means that when a user disables Twinkle from their preferences, Twinkle still loads if the user has this script installed – but it won't be evident to them why Twinkle is still loading. For instance, this is a common point of confusion for new Twinkle developers (who need to disable on-wiki version of twinkle before they can test twinkle locally). – SD0001 (talk) 04:05, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
Script Bug

Link not appearing
editThe link to close discussions isn't appearing for me at the top of sections. Valereee (talk) 12:53, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- Same here, unfortunately.
- This may or may not be linked to the same MediaWiki updates as reported here: Wikipedia_talk:XFDcloser#XFDCloser_not_showing_up_in_Vector_2010. — kashmīrī TALK 16:49, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Root cause is mw:Heading HTML changes. Is probably broken on old skins at the moment, and will break on Minerva and Vector 2022 in the coming weeks as they finish the rollout. –Novem Linguae (talk) 14:35, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
