Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Sort Image Links

Description

The script sorts File Links (list of pages using the image) on Image pages. Articles are shown first, all other pages are sorted by namespace.

Limitation: for English projects only (namespaces are hardcoded).

You can test the script for example here: Image:Crypto_key.svg.

Questions or suggestions are welcome either on this talk page or on the author talk page.

Installation

All the code below should go to your monobook.js

Step 1

Main function:

//Sort Image Links
function sortImageFileLinks(){
 var rg = /^(Talk|User|Wikipedia|Image|MediaWiki|Template|Help|Category|Portal)( talk)?:/
 var li, i, removed = [], ul = document.getElementById('filelinks')
 if (!ul) return
 while ((ul=ul.nextSibling) && ul.nodeName != 'UL')
 if (!ul) return
 li = ul.getElementsByTagName('LI')
 for (i=0; i<li.length; i++)
   if (li[i].firstChild.title.match(rg))
     removed.push(li[i])
 removed.sort(function(a,b){ return (a.firstChild.title > b.firstChild.title)?1:-1})
 ul.appendChild(document.createElement('hr'))
 for (i=0; i<removed.length; i++)
   ul.appendChild(removed[i])
}

Step 2

Depends on how you want the script to work.

• immediately on page load

if (mw.config.get('wgNamespaceNumber') == 6) 
 addOnloadHook(sortImageFileLinks);

• when you click new sort links tab on top

if (mw.config.get('wgNamespaceNumber') == 6) 
 addOnloadHook(function(){
  addPortletLink('p-cactions', 'javascript:sortImageFileLinks()', 'sort links')
 })

• when you click new [sort] link next to "File links" heading

if (mw.config.get('wgNamespaceNumber') == 6) 
 addOnloadHook(function(){
   var fl = document.getElementById('filelinks')
   if (fl) fl.innerHTML += ' <small>[<a href="javascript:sortImageFileLinks()">sort</a>]</small>'
})
