Works with nested templates (e.g. {{!}} or {{=}})
Removes |url-status=live if no archive link is found

Customisation

To disable any features listed below insert the following code at the top of your common.js page and change the 'true' to 'false':

var gTidyCiteEditSum = true; //generate a short summary
var gTidyCiteShowDiff = true; //show diff after
var gTidyCiteMarkMinor = true; //mark edit as minor
var gTidyCiteReplaceParams = true; //replace deprecated parameters
var gTidyCiteRemoveLive = true; //remove url-status=live on unarchived refs

Installing the script

Go in the 'Gadgets' tab of your preferences and select the 'Install scripts without having to manually edit JavaScript files' option at the bottom of the 'Advanced' section. Refresh this page after enabling that.
Click on the 'Install' button in the infobox on the right, or at the top of the source page.
