User:Anakin101

I signed up with Wikipedia on June 8 2007, although I have been familiar with it as an IP for years. I have doing other stuff lately and have not been on Wikipedia often.

I occasionally patrol recent changes for vandalism and make various maintenance edits and such. If I've reverted something over-zealously or accidentally or tagged something as CSD that I shouldn't, please tell me off on my talk page.

Fun fact!

Stuff I made

Just some templates and wikiscripts.

Templates

• /Ronum – Ronum, converts Arabic numerals to Roman numerals. But less than twenty minutes after creating it, I realised that there already was one, Template:Roman, which except for that fact that it doesn't seem to use a Roman-style font, is better than mine. I was a bit cheesed-off to be honest.

• /inflation usd – Adjusts US dollar values for inflation from a specific year. E.g., $99.95 in 1972 = ${{inflation usd|1972|99.95|round=2}} → $495.75 today. Should be regarded as approximate because I'm not entirely sure I understand how inflation works anyways.

• /digiclock – That's the thing up the top-right of my user page. I got the idea after came across the most extraordinarily clever template by User:ais523, an analogue clock, in pure MediaWiki template syntax. My digital one isn't quite as clever, but I did design and make the graphics myself.

Scripts

• /toplinks.js – Adds [top] links beside the [edit] links on section headings. Useful? I dunno. I like it though.

• /sectionlinks.js – Adds [prev] and [next] links beside the [edit] links on section headings. Useful? Yes. Not so much for articles, but I use it for skimming through long discussion pages such as the help desk or AN/I. The links normally stay in the same position on the screen so you don't need to move the mouse, just keep clicking to scan each section. Clever eh?

• /alwayssecurewikipedia.js – One of the problems with using the Secure Wikipedia is that people tend to paste some links as external links to en.wikipedia.org, so when you click them you find yourself on a different site, logged out. Unfortunately there is no internal wikilink syntax for diffs or edit or history pages, and although {{fullurl}} allows the creation of portable, external links, it's rarely used since it's much easier to just paste the URLs. This script helps by silently rewriting external links to http://X.wikipedia.org/Y, such as diffs, to https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/X/Y, when browsing from the secure site. Also works for interwikis. Brilliant eh?

  +Update 2009-06-27: Now works for Meta, Commons, Wiktionary, Wikispecies, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikinews, Wikiversity, MediaWiki, and others.
