User:Manishearth/OrphanTabs

OrphanTabs is a script which helps in the process of De-orphaning (Check WikiProject Orphanage for details). The script is at User:Manishearth/orphantabs.js

Installation

To install this script, go to your monobook.js page, and add:

importScript('User:Manishearth/orphantabs.js')

Once this is done, purge your cache.

Usage

After installation, a new tab will appear next to the original 'view', 'edit', 'talk', 'history', etc. tabs. It will say 'de-orphan'. To use the script, simply click on the tab, and add the name of the page you want to de-orphan in the window that pops up, and click 'OK'. If you are on an article page, the article name will already be in the input box. (Remember, you can de-orphan a page from any page. For example, you can de-orphan World (Not that it needs de-orphaning), from Main Page. This is useful if you are on Category:Orphaned_articles, and want to de-orphan the pages serially.)
Once you have entered the name of the page, click 'OK', and now all you have to do is sit back and relax while the script does the work for you. You will see many pages opening and closing, and finally, the results of the de-orphaning will be displayed. It will tell you how many article pages linked to the page being deorphanted before the de-orphaning process began, and how many link to it after de-orphaning. Press 'OK' if you want to mark it as no longer an orphan. Press 'Cancel' if you want to mark it with 'do-attempt'. It will automatically tag it, and will display 'De-orphaning over!!!' when it is finished. Click 'OK', and now you may safely close the window containing the page.
Note: During the process of de-orphaning, do not close the any of the windows that pop up. Your popup blocker must be turned off. If the computer hangs (It hasn't happened to me yet), use task manager to exit, and report it to me at User:Manishearth/OrphanTabs/Feature requests and bugs.

To customize, copy-paste the text above in your monobook js page, BEFORE the importScript('User;Manishearth/orphantabs.js') command. To change the value of a variable, just change the value after the colon in front of the variable. THe entir text of the customization template need not be copied. For example, if you just want to customize the auto feature, you can just copy this:

OrphanTabsConfig = {
auto 			:	true,
autoChoice 		:	3,
}

Each customizable aspect is given below, with the variables that control it:

Auto

Auto is a feature, where the script will not prompt you if you want to tag it with do-attempt or not.

auto

If the variable auto is set to 'true', the script will bypass the prompt, and will see if the page has enough article pages linking to it. (It will see if the number of pages is greater than or equal to the autoChoice variable).

autoChoice

You can change autoChoice to a different value if you feel that a page should have more (or less) than three pages linking to it to be considered de-orphaned.

showCompleteTab
