The Edit Wizard is a form to easily fill out an edit request. The goal of this script is to make it easier for beginners to make edits, by providing a series of steps.

The hope is to eventually deploy this as a part of the regular interface shown to logged-out users.

This script has been developed by Ankit Gupta as part of Google Summer of Code 2022.

Your feedback is welcome on the talk page.

For more information, see User:Enterprisey/Edit Wizard design doc and User:Enterprisey/Edit Request Wizard plan.

Installation instructions

[edit]

Hint: It's much easier if you get ScriptInstaller, then navigate to User:Ankit18gupta/Editwizard.js and click "Install" at the top.

However, here's the manual method:

  1. Place {{subst:iusc|User:Ankit18gupta/Editwizard.js}} on Special:MyPage/common.js or a skin-specific page, like Special:MyPage/vector.js.
  2. Clear your cache and enjoy!

If you don't want to test the script on the English Wikipedia, you can install it on testwiki by going to testwiki:Special:MyPage/common.js and adding, on a new line:

mw.loader.load('//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Ankit18gupta/Editwizard.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');

Usage

[edit]

The script adds an "Edit Wizard" tab at the top. Click it and follow the instructions, and an edit request will be submitted.
