UPDATE on Search Bar

"Hello. I assigned Pmartin to a temporary global 'editinterface' group, so that he can update a script on several wikis. The script was broken by recent changes to the Special:Search page. I hope this was not controversial, but if you'd like to object, please leave me a message on m:User talk:Pathoschild. :) —Pathoschild 23:06:58, 30 oktober 2008 (UTC)" Pmartin 12:39, 31 Deireadh Fómhair 2008 (UTC)

Give search results even when page doesn't exist

Screenshot of the Earth test search, with this script adding links to Wikidata, Reasonator, Commons, and Wikipedia.

Hello, I propose to enable the tool created by Magnus Manske (creator of MediaWiki) to provide results from other languages and Commons (via Wikidata) when a page doesn't exist here: links are added to Special:Search and noarticletext. This helps to encourage translation and to make readers use your wiki more, because they can be sure to find something even if it's not local (rather than searching directly on the biggest wiki). The Italian and Polish Wikipedias, among others already enabled it by default.
Examples: [1] [2] [3]. More information: Magnus blog.
How to: just add the following line at the end of Common.js.

// Results from Wikidata
// [[File:Wdsearch_script_screenshot.png]]
if ( mw.config.get( 'wgCanonicalSpecialPageName' ) === 'Search' ||  ( mw.config.get( 'wgArticleId' ) === 0 && mw.config.get( 'wgCanonicalSpecialPageName' ) === false ) ) {
	importScriptURI("//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Wdsearch.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript");
}

Announced JavaScript change for badges implementation

Hi! I want to let you know that in near future badges will be deployed on Wikidata and the Wikipedias. They help us with displaying the good and featured article icons next to the sitelinks and will replace the javascript hack which is used at the moment together with the Link GA and Link FA templates. To avoid an overlap where the current system and the new feature conflict, I will add a minor fix to your Common.js which adds the class names to the interwiki links. This is part of my task as a global edit interface editor for the Wikidata team. Thanks, Bene* (talk) 20:26, 18 Lúnasa 2014 (UTC)

Donations

Hello, I propose to remove the entire block after "IE 6 Z-index bug workaround for anonnotice". Those donation notices are superseded and English-only banners in non-English wikis are both useless and harmful for Wikimedia and its finances. In fact, they make Wikipedia slower for unregistered users, so they cost more money than they bring, because the WMF has to spend millions on mw:Site performance. The WMF already runs banners for all the money they need, such permanent banners are inefficient. --Nemo bis (talk) 12:10, 13 Feabhra 2015 (UTC)
