DraftChecker is a template to alert editors to the existence of relevant articles or drafts.

  • In Draft or Draft_Talk, DraftChecker will check for an Article of the same title.
  • In Article_Talk, DraftChecker will check for a Draft of the same title.
  • In the Article namespace, Draftchecker will check for a Draft of the same title, but will only show a message if a custom javascript determines the user is logged in.

Usage

{{DraftChecker}}

Technical details

Logged-in Editors -vs- Anonymous Readers

In order for logged-in editors to view DraftChecker's links in the main Article namespace, two lines of javascript code must be installed: the ShowOnlyToLoggedInUsers.js script.

While DraftChecker is in development, you can install this script by adding the following line to your common.js file:

importScript('User:HectorMoffet/ShowOnlyToLoggedInUsers.js');

In the future, the ShowOnlyToLoggedInUsers.js script could become a Gadget enabled by default, or its two lines of code directly incorporated into Wikipedia's default javascript file (MediaWiki:Common.js).

Test Cases

As of 15:43, 23 December 2013 (UTC), the following testcases passed: (altering the text/existence of relevant pages in future may alter the results)

  • Draft:Example should show a link to the Wikipedia article Example
  • Draft talk:Example should show a link to the Wikipedia article Example
  • Talk:Example should show a link to Draft:Example
  • If you are not logged-in, then the Wikipedia article Example should NOT show a link. (although inspection of html source should show a html element with the style "visiblity: hidden;")
  • if you are logged-in, (and ShowOnlyToLoggedInUsers.js is installed), then the Wikipedia article Example SHOULD show a link corresponding draft.
