Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Unwatch

/* This script adds an "unwatch" link to each entry in your watchlist. This version works regardless of whether you have the "Enhanced recent changes" option selected in your user preferences. By default the links take you back to your watchlist. If you'd prefer them to take you to a "Removed from watchlist" page like the unwatch links at the top of the watched pages, uncomment the second line in the function.

Other versions:

  • /

addOnloadHook(function () {

// Check if we're on the watchlist

if (!mw.config.get('wgCanonicalSpecialPageName') || mw.config.get('wgCanonicalSpecialPageName') != "Watchlist") return;

if (!document.forms[0] || !document.forms[0].namespace) return;

// Unwatch links go back to watchlist with "Removing requested items from watchlist..." message

var query_prefix = "title="+encodeURIComponent(mw.config.get('wgPageName'))+"&action=submit&remove=1&id[]=";

// ...or...

// Unwatch links go to "Removed from watchlist" page

//var query_prefix = "action=unwatch&title=";

// get list of all links in content:

var links = document.getElementById('content').getElementsByTagName('a');

// make a static copy of the nodelist and lose the original for speed

// while we're at it, prune the uninteresting links from the list

var linksCopy = new Array ();

for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {

if (/[?&]action=history([&#]|$)/.test(links[i].href)) linksCopy.push(links[i]);

}

links = linksCopy;

for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {

// create unwatch link and append it after history link

var unwatch = document.createElement('a');

unwatch.href = mw.config.get('wgServer') + mw.config.get('wgScriptPath') + "/index.php?" + query_prefix + encodeURIComponent(links[i].title);

unwatch.title = "Unwatch "+links[i].title;

unwatch.appendChild(document.createTextNode("unwatch"));

links[i].parentNode.insertBefore(unwatch, links[i].nextSibling);

// insert a delimiter between the two links

var delim = links[i].previousSibling;

delimText = (delim.nodeType == 3 ? delim.nodeValue : ""); // kluge to handle case where "diff" is unlinked

delim = document.createTextNode(delimText.replace(/^.*diff/, ""));

links[i].parentNode.insertBefore(delim, unwatch);
