Suggestion[edit]
Thanks, 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[edit]
Overall 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[edit]
Whatever bottom script it substitutes is a redirect. The correct property to use is {{subst:RM bottom}}

Loads Twinkle[edit]
Hi @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)
