// This runs immediately.
// It is safe to do things like this, UNLESS they need to change something in the page.
// You CAN use it to do data processing, start requests to the api etc.
// A anonymous function block wrapped inside $()
$( function() {
// do stuff to change the page
});
// $() is an alias for jQuery(), the main function of the jQuery library,
// which is always available for script writers on Wikipedia
// When used like this, it is a shortcut for $( document ).ready(), and it will
// execute your anonymous function as soon as the page is ready to be
// manipulated by JS, or immediately if it is ready now.
// See also: http://api.jquery.com/jquery/#jQuery3
// Attach a function to be run once the 'wikipage.content' part of a page is available
mw.hook( 'wikpage.content').add( function ($content ) {
// Like document.ready, this will run once that part of the page is
// ready/updated.
// $content is a jQuery list of DOM elements, that has just become available.
// See also: http://api.jquery.com/jquery/
});
// This is used by many scripts in MediaWiki, because it also works after
// saving with Visual Editor, or when previewing with Live preview tools etc.
// There are several such named hooks like:
// wikipage.diff, wikipage.editform, wikipage.categories
// mw, an alias for mediaWiki, is another javascript libary that is always
// to MediaWiki and Wikipedia scripters.

// For the hook specific part of this library, which we use above, see:
// https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/js/#!/api/mw.hook
// Note that large parts of this mw library are not ready for usage by default,
// and you might have to load some parts using mw.loader, before they can be used.
// For loading dependencies and guaranteeing order between dependencies,
// use ResourceLoader.

// Example
if ( mw.config.get('wgAction') === 'view' ) {
mw.hook( 'wikipage.content').add( function ($contents) {
// Get all the <li> elements from $contents, but skip those with a class or ID,
// because they might have special functionality that you don't want to break.
// We generally avoid things like this, because they will break easily
// Wikipedia is so diverse and big, that to do anything,
// your content really needs a class or ID.
var listItems = $contents.find( 'li:not([class]):not([id])' );
// Iterate over each of the <li> items
listItems.each( function( index, li ) {
// This part is complicated, because we need to look at text
// and text is not structured. Get the li item, and wrap it with jquery
// Then get all the direct children nodes
var nodes = $(li).contents();
var marker = false;
var ul = false;
for ( var i = 0; i < nodes.length; i++ ) {
// We need to find text nodes, that have our - marker.
if ( nodes[i].nodeType === Node.TEXT_NODE &&
nodes[i].textContent.indexOf(' – ') >= 0)
{
// We found the node which contains our marker
marker = i;
break;
}
}
// Check to see if the last node is an UL, so we don't break nesting
if( nodes[nodes.length-1].tagName === "UL" ) {
ul = nodes[nodes.length-1];
}
// only useful if it's the second element or later
if( marker > 0 ) {
// Use jquery to create a new span
// We use span, because it is an inline element.
// We give it a class so we can find it back later
// This element is already part of the document, but it is not attached to anything visible yet.
var wrapper = $('<span>').addClass('myscript-wrapper');
// Move the node with our marker, and all nodes that follow it into this new wrapper.
// This removes them from the original <li>
wrapper.append(nodes.slice(marker, ul ? nodes.length-1 : nodes.length));
// Append the wrapper to our original list item to make the wrapper visible.
$(li).append(wrapper);
if ( ul ) {
$(li).append( ul );
}
}
});
// Now we have structure, and we can apply our manipulations and functionality
// We simply hide all our elements
$( '.myscript-wrapper' ).hide();
// You would now add controls to show them etc. etc.
