[doc] Include example in README for Wikipedia Vector 2022 #336

seanpm2001 · 2023-01-19T05:05:56Z

I began to try out this extension today after the Wikipedia Vector 2022 update, as I don't want to have to add ?useskin=vector or ?useskin=monobook every time I visit a page. Can we have an example in the README? There are so many examples already listed, I feel this one is important and should be listed as well.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

ckp95 · 2023-01-19T21:50:57Z

Regex pattern: (https?://\w+.wikipedia.org/wiki/.*)
Redirect to: $1?useskin=vector
Exclude: https?://\w+.wikipedia.org/wiki/.*?\?useskin=.*

seanpm2001 · 2023-01-19T22:25:29Z

It isn't working. I tried 3 different ways:

It still redirects to the new design.

ckp95 · 2023-01-19T22:50:15Z

Because you didn't copy exactly what I wrote

EDIT: actually strictly speaking it should be:

Include pattern: (https?://\w+\.wikipedia\.org/wiki/.*)
Exclude pattern: https?://\w+\.wikipedia\.org/wiki/.*?\?useskin=.*

EDIT: simpler one with just wildcard match:

Include pattern: http*://*.wikipedia.org/wiki/*
Redirect to: http$1://$2.wikipedia.org/wiki/$3?useskin=timeless
Exclude pattern: http*://*.wikipedia.org/wiki/*?useskin=*

seanpm2001 · 2023-01-19T23:14:44Z

Thank you for the help. This worked.

EDIT:

Note Refreshing the page will add an additional pattern to the end, causing it to revert to the new theme again.

ckp95 · 2023-01-19T23:28:54Z

I can't get that to happen for me. Did you make sure to add the exclude pattern as well?

Also I forgot there are other forms for article urls, like https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cat, this wildcard pattern will do:

Include: http*://*.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=*
Redirect: http$1://$2.wikipedia.org/wiki/$3?useskin=timeless

seanpm2001 · 2023-01-19T23:31:15Z

I don't have much more info. I did apply the exclude pattern. Basically, when I refresh the page, the link goes from:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page?useskin=monobook

to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page?useskin=monobook?useskin=monobook

Which causes the theme to break. Additionally, this filter doesn't apply to viewing/editing the source for an article, but it works with talk pages.

ckp95 · 2023-01-19T23:34:44Z

That does not happen for me. I am using the wildcard filter:

On another note, I just noticed it doesn't work if you have a URL with a chapter suffix like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat#Taxonomy, apparently the skin part has to be between the article name and the chapter .. sigh. more complicated than I thought

seanpm2001 · 2023-01-19T23:35:33Z

I am also using the wildcard type. I couldn't get the regex option to work.

ckp95 · 2023-01-19T23:44:50Z

I don't know what the problem is then.

For the section title URLs, this wildcard works for me:

Include: http*://*.wikipedia.org/wiki/*#*
Redirect: http$1://$2.wikipedia.org/wiki/$3?useskin=timeless#$4
Exclude: http*://*.wikipedia.org/*?useskin=*

It needs to be placed before the other rule in the list.

ckp95 · 2023-01-19T23:56:13Z

Can you send a screenshot of the exact filter you are using @seanpm2001

If this helps, here is my JSON configuration file.
GitHub isn't letting me import it, so here is the source:

I'm not a developer on this project, idk what all the config stuff does.

seanpm2001 · 2023-01-19T23:59:11Z

Here is a screenshot:

ckp95 · 2023-01-20T00:03:12Z

your exclude is still a regex, it needs to be the wildcard one i gave

seanpm2001 · 2023-01-20T00:04:49Z

I don't know what you mean. It is a wildcard

ckp95 · 2023-01-20T00:05:33Z

look again

seanpm2001 · 2023-01-20T00:07:51Z

Like this? It is still acting the same.

Edit: nevermind, it fixed the reload problem, but not the talk page/source code problem

ckp95 · 2023-01-20T00:12:56Z

i just read the article pages so it's enough for me. i don't want to spend more time fiddling with it

seanpm2001 · 2023-01-20T00:13:44Z

OK, that sounds good enough. Thank you for all of the help!

JustAnotherArchivist · 2023-01-20T03:40:08Z

Here's a more solid approach that handles fragments and other query parameters (e.g. action=history pages):

Regex pattern: ^(https?://(?:[^/]*\.)?wikipedia\.org/[^?#]*)(?:\?([^#]*))?(#.*)?$
Target: $1?$2&useskin=vector$3
Exclude: ^[^#]*[?&]useskin=

seanpm2001 · 2023-01-20T07:32:44Z

Thank you. Will try it out tomorrow.
Edit: I just went through and tested it. It works flawlessly on all parts of Wikipedia. Thank you @JustAnotherArchivist
