User talk:Odaloy

I would like to know how to search and replace a term in the entire wiki, for instance to add a reference to an external page each time such term is used. Thanks a lot! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Odaloy (talk • contribs) 08:20, 1 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Odaloy There are several ways to accomplish what you're looking for, as far as I'm aware. You could try AutoWikiBrowser, a client-side mass editing tool, but do make sure to temporarily add the  flag to your user account when you use it for large-scale editing. There are also the Replace Text and MassEditRegex extensions which you can utilize after enabling in Special:ManageWiki/extensions. Hope that helps. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 13:53, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I would also like to learn how to use "Popups" as it says it requires "Extensions - pageimages, textextracts" which I can't find how to install?
 * My goal is to display a quick popup with a definition of some terms of the wiki in order to ease reading (avoiding to navigate on external pages to get the definition).
 * Thanks a lot and best regards Olivier — Preceding unsigned comment added by Odaloy (talk • contribs) 19:41, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
 * You need extensions PageImages and TextExtracts. You can find these on your wiki special page Special:ManageWiki/extensions. Extension Popups required these extensions. Then you can manage, showing popups or not (by default to user). Thanks. Anton (talk) 20:26, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * To add to what Anton said regarding the Popups extension, you may want Navigation Popups gadget instead of the Popups extension, as it has some useful tools in  namespace. Installation is only slightly more complex than enabling the Popups extension; it's one of the easiest gadgets to install. Dmehus (talk) 20:30, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, thats right. There are two ways to do this: Option 1 is enable Gadgets extension but isn't required. Option 2 is copy some scripts to MediaWiki:Common.js or Common.css pages. Option 2 Navigation popups is default by all users (also non-logged users). Option 1 is is manageable whether it is default or not. If not the default, the registered or logged in user must enable the Gadget in their own settings (Special:Preferences) on the "Gadgets" tab. Anton (talk) 20:48, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Anton Oh, interesting, I wasn't aware of the Gadgets extension. I should look into that, as I've always just done option 2. Dmehus (talk) 20:53, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think I am aware of the Gadgets extension and that the Gadget extension is enabled as a default extension on all wikis that are created (can be disabled, if desired), as I've never seen a new wiki have to enable it. Dmehus (talk) 20:58, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if that's the default. The Gadgets extension allows, among other things, the MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition page and the "Gadgets" section in Special:Preferences. In addition, MediaWiki:Gadget-GadgetName.js (or css) pages can be created and then placed on the MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition page. Some code makes it visible to everyone without having to enable it separately. Both habits are certainly good. Anton (talk) 07:40, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Thanks a lot for your answer: yes I would like to reimport it. Can you please tell me how to proceed?
