Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end.
Please specify a descriptive "Subject/headline" for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed.
Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.

Feedback on QuickEdit

Hello BrandonXLF! I've been using your QuickEdit user scripts for quite some time (and am loving it)! I could not see myself editing without it now :P. I just had a thought that could help make it even "quicker". How about having CTRL+Enter automatically do the "Save" action, just as it does in the normal editing in "Publish Changes"? Thanks so much! Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 15:52, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cocobb8 I added an access key for the letter "s" to trigger the save button. – BrandonXLF (talk) 07:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Restorer script bug

Hello! I am a rollbacker from Kazakh Wikipedia. Today I created "User:Nurtenge/common.js" and "User:Nurtenge/Restorer.js" pages and I got a "Restore" button on Kazakh Wikipedia. But... There are TWO "Restore" buttons! They both perform the same task, but there are two of them and it looks ugly. How can I fix this error? Nurtenge (talk) 15:56, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Nurtenge, can you share a URL of a history page where both buttons appear. Thanks, – BrandonXLF (talk) 06:21, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I figured it out, it's not a bug, it is my bad :) I created this page on Meta and created this page on Kazakh Wikipedia. In Meta-Wiki, I used your JavaScript on English Wikipedia, and on Kazakh Wikipedia I created my own JavaScript page where I wrote some English words in Kazakh. Your JavaScript code gave me a restore button on all wikis. And my JavaScript code translated into Kazakh gave me a restore button only on Kazakh Wikipedia. Therefore, on Kazakh Wikipedia I now have two restore buttons :) Thank you!

By the way, it would be cool if you added the ability to write a reason for restoring the page version -- Nurtenge (talk) 16:51, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

HotDefaultSort: Avoid auto saving by holding Ctrl?

In HotCat, if you hold Ctrl when clicking "OK", category changes won't auto save letting you make other edits (see Wikipedia:HotCat#Avoid auto saving). Is it possible with the script HotDefaultSort? 2001:14BA:9C40:0:48C8:91BB:9341:38BB (talk) 21:12, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No it is not currently. Can you explain your use case for such a feature? – BrandonXLF (talk) 07:19, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

QuickEdit bug

Hai! I've recently started using QuickEdit on the English Wiktionary, and, although it mostly works fine, there is one bug I'd like to report. When previewing an edited section, any quotations in that section are impossible to view, since the "quotations" button that you'd ordinarily click on to view said quotations fails to appear; this makes it impossible to preview any edits to these quotations when using QuickEdit. Just letting ya know! Whoop whoop pull up ^{Bitching Betty ⚧️ Averted crashes} 03:10, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
