User:Meteor sandwich yum/Tidy citations

{{See also|User:Meteor sandwich yum/Tidy citations/Test page|l1=its test page}}

I wanted more options than User:Waldyrious/formatcitations.js (doc) gave, so I tweaked it to my taste.

The script's a function to format citations with regular, uniform whitespace—useful for very messy citations that need ordering. I tested it with all skins and found no errors.

The major difference is that it appears in the p-toolbar area rather than the p-cactions area.

If WP:WIKED is installed, Tidy citations will not work.

= Installation =

Add the following line of code to your javascript page (with the linkback comment to help me see how many people use this):

importScript('User:Meteor sandwich yum/Tidy citations.js'); //Linkback: User:Meteor sandwich yum/Tidy citations.js

Then bypass your cache to see the results. It should appear only after you hit "edit" on a given page.

= Optional parameters =

The value given is default, and can be changed by adding a line of code after the importScript that overrides this.

  • {{para|autosummary|true}} — Generates a short automatic description. If you prefer for no edit summary to be generated/appended, set "autosummary" to false (add it after the line of code).
  • {{para|showdiff|false}} — Activates the diff function to show changes after you use the script.
  • {{para|markminor|true}} – Marks the edit as minor.
