Unsigned helper is a user script for semi-automatically adding templates {{tl|Unsigned}}, {{tl|Unsigned IP}}, and {{tl|Undated}}. This script is a fork of User:Anomie/unsignedhelper with faster search, an automatic edit summary, and added support for the CodeMirror editor (syntax highlighting).

How to install

{{User:Andrybak/Templates/How to install}}

How to use

  1. Open the wikitext editor for the discussion, where you want to mark an unsigned message.
  2. In the dropdown below the editor, select button set "Insert" or "Wiki markup" (see MediaWiki talk:Edittools for details).
  3. At the end of the button set, click on {{fake link|1={{tlf|unsigned}}|2=}}
  4. Wait for the script to find the revision, which introduced this change.
  5. Check that the diff found by script corresponds to the unsigned message.
  6. If the found diff is wrong, click button "Keep looking".
  7. If the found diff is correct, click button "Use that revision".
  8. Once ready, click button {{mw button|{{int:publishchanges}}|progressive}} at the bottom.

=Known issues=

  • Doesn't work in VisualEditor, 2017 wikitext editor, wikEd.
  • If an author of an undated comment changed their username since leaving the comment, it will be automatically marked with {{tl|unsigned}} instead of {{tl|undated}}.
