What is RTL?

No, it ain't a TV/Radio Group. It's color probe's first script, called Revert to Last Diff (abbreviated as RTL). Well, he did steal it, a bit, actually. So color probe wants to say thanks to the navigation popup tool and JesseW[1].

So, what does it do?

It adds a tab on pages (even history pages), saying "rtl". When clicked, it'll revert the page you're watching to the last diff. Not automatically, you will be prompted for a summary, so you can quit it if you're mistaken. It functually does the same as the popup, but it's easier to be done.

How do I install it?

Tough it's still in beta, because color probe wants to add more to it, you can install it easily. Just add the following to your monobook, and it'll work after you bypass your browser's cache (details below):

{{subst:Js|User:Color probe/rtl.js}}
Note: After saving, you have to bypass your browser's cache to see the changes. Mozilla/Safari/Konqueror: hold down Shift while clicking Reload (or press Ctrl-Shift-R), IE: press Ctrl-F5, Opera: press F5.

Updates?

Yes, color probe may update the javascript. I so, he'll locate everyone using the script, and remind them to update it.

Don't think he'll do that daily or for years, no, the script will once leave the beta status and then doesn't need any updating.

So stay tuned!
