Scripts Created

  • /Scripts/BulletSort (source) (Beta: Largely usable.)
    • Allows one to lexicographically sort bulleted lists.
  • /Scripts/Headings (source) (Beta: Largely usable.)
    • Creates a link in the More portlet (PH2H) to automatically convert psuedo-headings to headings (up to 5 levels deep) on whatever page you're currently on. By using this script you agree to accept full responsibility for any edits it makes on your behalf.
  • /Scripts/HistoryHighlight (source) (Beta: Largely usable.)
    • Whenever you click on a "hist" link in a user contributions page, the resulting page history highlights all contributions by that user.
  • /Scripts/InsertShortcuts (source) (Beta: Largely usable.)
    • While editing a page, allows insertion of text, specially defined in your userspace, using shortcut keys.
  • /Scripts/LEA (source) (Beta: Largely usable.)
    • Creates a link in the More portlet (LEA) to annotate lists.
  • /Scripts/ListAlpha.js (Alpha: Use at own risk.)
    • Allows one to lexicographically order list entries. Intended to be useable while reading. Unfinished.
  • /Scripts/RefCruncher (source) (Beta: Largely usable.)
    • Allows one to 'crunch' <ref>s into cute, unobtrusive tags. Useful for a prose editor when large references get in the way.

Scripts Adopted

  • /Scripts/12HourFormat (source) (Stable: Thoroughly tested. Usable.)
    • Convert 24-hour times, where applicable, to 12-hour times. (E.g. 21:00 -> 9:00 PM)

Scripts Contributed To

  • None!

Logic and Rhetoric

Hello, fellow Wikipedian. During your tenor here on Wikipedia, you are likely to encounter every fallacy, logical or illogical, formal or informal, under the sun. What you need is to arm yourself for the WP:BATTLEGROUND that Wikipedia is, arm yourself with the tools of Logic and Rhetoric. Below is a list of essential reading material.

Logic

Logic is the ability to reason clearly, infer correctly, and to deduce and induce accurately. Flawed Logic is very common on Wikipedia. One should not allow themselves to become a victim of such.

Rhetoric

Rhetoric is the art of persuasion. Where Logic is the preparation, Rhetoric is the execution. A key skill of a Rhetorician is knowing one's audience, which, granted, may be hard on a platform which allows anonymity. One should not use the same argument against a layman that which has been tailored towards a scientist. Do not accuse nor imply, as it insults the audience's intelligence. An angry audience is not receptive to Logic.
