Somehow this present in other parts of the code, but missing there. It's consistent with the way WEF framework tags its edits [1].
--- Jura 22:22, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

@Jura1: I have tried applying this fix but no tag was assigned to my edit, so this needs someone's more skilled eyes, like Fomafix'. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 08:51, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

I don't know how to create tags. --Fomafix (talk) 09:53, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

If you mean "create a new tag by which edits can be tagged", I have already done it (datadrainer). Matěj Suchánek (talk) 10:08, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Script rewritten

Hi, with the help of @0x010C: and @Tpt:, I rewrote this script entirely to

• use OOui for the interface
• remove the captcha
• replace the "autoconfirmed" group requirement with the "rollbacker" one (but I think we should scrap this requirement altogether.)
• otherwise modernize the script

The new version is here. It would be great if some people can test it so I can replace the current version. Also, some of the messages were changed so the texts are only in French and English right now, so if you can contribute to translations, it would be great :)

Ping @Jitrixis: who wrote the v1.0 version ;) -Ash Crow (talk)

@Ash Crow: Looks great. :) Only needs some padding around the options I think and we're good to go. Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 11:00, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

It stopped working for me

Hello, for some reason I can't find this gadget anymore. I found it quite useful for cleaning up items with many wrong labels (e.g. set with tools like nameGuzzler). -Valentina.Anitnelav (talk) 16:43, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

It has just worked for me. Have you lost the way to activate it or to drain an item. If you were looking to Special:Preferences, this gadget has never been listed there. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 18:38, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

It is still in my commons.js (I deleted and readded the line after it stopped working), but the link disappeared from the menu next to the watchlist-star and does not appear again. - Valentina.Anitnelav (talk) 19:03, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

It's possible another script (or even the interface) is broken which breaks this gadget as well. Try mw:Help:Locating broken scripts and ignore "content security policy" reports. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 15:45, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

I had a look at the edit history of this page. It seems that the threshold for users to use this gadget was raised from autoconfirmed to rollbacker [2]. This is it, probably. Is there a reason it was raised? -Valentina.Anitnelav (talk) 12:20, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

It isn't working for me too. Queryzo (talk) 18:56, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

@Ash Crow: Could you please have a look? Thank you --Vojtěch Dostál (talk) 15:48, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

The change from autoconfirmed to rollbacker happened more than three years ago, so I doubt it is the reason you have trouble (and I have no idea why it was changed in the first place (ping @Jitrixis:). The gadget works fine for me, so I guess that, as Matěj Suchánek suggested, you may have another broken gadget interfering. -Ash Crow (talk) 17:25, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

@Ash Crow, Jitrixis: Thank you. I am only an autoconfirmed user and I just installed the gadget so it could well be that it's not working because of my inadequate rights.--Vojtěch Dostál (talk) 08:06, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

@Ash Crow: It seems that autoconfirmed users were included in June 2017[3] per the discussion above[4]. It seems they were excluded again in September 2018 [5]. -Valentina.Anitnelav (talk) 10:42, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

@Vojtěch Dostál, Valentina.Anitnelav: OK got it. I thought that in the September 2018 the change was only in the description because I did not touch the "group()" function (which defines user rights), but that function was actually hijacked lower in the code and only used in the edit message. I changed to autoconfirmed everywhere, so it should work now. -Ash Crow (talk) 18:10, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

I confirm it works for me now. Thank you very much Ash Crow! --Vojtěch Dostál (talk) 18:16, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

Link not showing

Hello,

I just added this gadget to my common.js ; however the link for it does not show in the left hand-side menu (where i understand there should be a “Empty” link). Playing around with `debug=true`, I saw the link popping once ; however clicking on it was triggering another gadget (!) (LabelLister if I recall). I have emptied my Common.js of all scripts, and deactivated all gadgets that add PortletLinks, still nothing. The Firefox network console confirms that the JS is loaded.

Thanks, Jean-Fred (talk) 13:15, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Your common.js works for me. The tool will display "Empty" link in the same menu where for instance "Merge" has its link, next to the search field. --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 15:00, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Feature request: Remove references

Please add an option to remove all references, and only references.

Use case 1: An item is cited only to various Wikipedias, and I have proper sources to add

Use case 2: I duplicate an item, but need to replace all the citations.
