Question[edit]

Is there a way to use this where it doesn't replace the entirety of the code when it does its replacement? Maybe I misunderstood the code, but I did a huge infobox overhaul, thought I'd use the "renumber" function to make it easier, and it wiped out all of my changes. Of course, I didn't realize this until after I had hit Preview, so I couldn't even get back my original changes. Primefac (talk) 21:04, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And maybe I just messed something up? I tried something a little different (saving a copy in Notepad) but after I hit Preview I did a renumber and ~~it worked fine~~ didn't blank it, but also didn't renumber everything. Why did it blank the first try and only half of the second? Primefac (talk) 21:50, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion[edit]

@Frietjes, a small suggestion for this script: It'd be nice to have it appear only in the template namespace, so that it doesn't clutter the tools menu when I'm editing e.g. an article. Thanks for your work creating and maintaining it! Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 21:55, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sdkb, probably fixed now? I could see someone wanting to possibly use this in userspace, but that seems less likely, but I could add other namespaces if desired. Frietjes (talk) 22:43, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastic; thanks! {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 22:43, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
