User:Pathoschild/Watched discussions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

This page is a terrible, fragile hack used to watch discussions across every wiki. It will probably never be packaged into a script others can use, because it's such a hack and will hopefully be replaced by Flow one day.

Usage

[edit]

When I want to watch a discussion:

  1. I edit the section and run this script: 
    var entry = {
	domain: mw.config.get('wgServerName'),
	page: (mw.config.get('wgCanonicalNamespace') + ':' + mw.config.get('wgTitle')).replace(/_/g, ' '),
	section: parseInt(mw.util.getParamValue('section')),
	sectionName: $.trim($('#wpSummary').val().replace(/\/\* (.+) \*\//, '$1'))
};
prompt('', '\t' + JSON.stringify(entry) + ',');
  2. Paste it into a <source lang="javascript" class="section-watchlist" /> below.
  3. And run this script to view all listed discussions on this page: 
    var pathoschild = pathoschild || {};

/**
 * Given a list of crosswiki page sections, this page fetches each one and shows it on the page.
 */
pathoschild.sectionWatcher = function() {
	"use strict";

	/*********
	** Fields
	*********/
	var self = {};


	/*********
	** Private methods
	*********/
	/**
	 * Get metadata about a section from the wiki's API.
	 * @param {string} domain The domain name to query (like 'meta.wikimedia.org').
	 * @param {string} pageName The full name of the page (like 'User talk:Pathoschild').
	 * @param {int} section The section number to fetch.
	 * @returns A promise which returns data in the form { pageID:42, title:"...", content:"<html>..." }.
	 */
	var _getSection = function(domain, pageName, section) {
		return $
			.ajax({
				url: '//' + domain + '/w/api.php',
				data: {
					format: 'json',
					action: 'query',
					prop: 'revisions',
					titles: pageName,
					rvprop: 'content|timestamp',
					rvsection: section,
					rvparse: true
				},
				dataType: 'jsonp'
			})
			.then(function(data) {
				// handle error
				if(data.error)
					return { error: '[' + data.error.code + '] ' + data.error.info + '\n' + data.error['*'] };

				// get content
				var pageID = Object.keys(data.query.pages)[0];
				var content = $('<div>').html(data.query.pages[pageID].revisions[0]['*']);

				// fix relative links
				content.find('a').each(function(i, link) {
					$(link).attr('href', function(i, url) {
						return !url.startsWith('//')
							? '//' + domain + url
							: url;
					});
				});

				// fix section number in edit link
				content.find('.mw-editsection a').attr('href', function(i, href) {
					return href.replace(/section=1/, 'section=' + section);
				});

				return {
					pageID: pageID,
					sectionName: content.find('.mw-headline:first').text(),
					content: content.html(),
					hasResponse: (function() {
						var text = $.trim(content.text());
						return text.lastIndexOf('—Pathoschild') < text.lastIndexOf('\n'); // last line doesn't contain my signature
					})()
				};
			});
	};

	/**
	 * Build the UI for a watchlist.
	 * @param {jQuery} source The element containing watchlist data.
	 */
	var _prepareUI = function(source) {
		source = $(source).hide();
		var output = source.next('.section-watchlist-result').empty();
		if(!output.length)
			output = $('<div>').addClass('section-watchlist-result').insertAfter(source);
		return output;
	};


	/*********

	/**

	self.initialise = function() {
		mw.util.addCSS([
			'.mw-headline small { margin-left:2em; font-size:0.8em; color:gray; font-style:italic; }',
			'li[data-has-response="0"] { opacity:0.5; }',

						return;
					}

					// add content

					// validate section name

						$('<div>').addClass('error').text('Expected a section named "' + entryData.sectionName + '" instead of "' + section.sectionName + '"; it might have gotten moved.').insertAfter(entry.find('h1, h2, h3, h4, h5').first());
						entry.data('data-has-error', 1);
					}

					// attach metadata
					entry.attr('data-has-response', section.hasResponse ? 1 : 0);

					// indicate source
					source.appendTo(entry.find('.mw-headline'));
				});
			});
		});
	};

	return self;
};

pathoschild.sectionWatcher().initialise();

Each discussion is transcluded into the dated section (as if they had occurred on this page), and discussions whose last comments are mine are grayed out.
