Welcome to the [[:m:Mesopedianism|mesopedic]] '''WikiProject JavaScript'''. If you would like to use or write [[Wikipedia:user scripts|user scripts]], or learn or write [[JavaScript]], or about JavaScript, for the betterment of Wikipedia (and beyond), including improving the coverage of JavaScript-related topics and support pages, you've come to the right place.

This is a central resource depot and organization hub for everything having to do with JavaScript on Wikipedia, including [[Wikipedia:User scripts|user scripts]]. This WikiProject provides a place for editors to share knowledge and ideas (on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject JavaScript|talk page]]) about JavaScript, improve their JavaScript programming skills, and collaborate (get help) in developing [[Wikipedia:User scripts|user scripts]]. If you would like to get involved, add your name '''[[#Participants|here]]'''.

To get a bird's eye view of what Wikipedia has about JavaScript see [[Index of JavaScript-related articles]]. If you are likewise interested in scripts, see the [[User:The Transhumanist/Outline of scripts|Outline of scripts]].

== Scope of this WikiProject ==

This WikiProject is [[:m:Mesopedianism|mesopedic]], meaning that it operates on articles in the encyclopedia and on pages in project space. Basically, we create and maintain articles related to JavaScript, and do the same for every page in the Wikipedia community about using and creating user scripts on Wikipedia. Some members actively build upon the collection of user scripts itself.

=== Scope in article space: JavaScript ===

All articles about [[JavaScript]] or the JavaScript ecosystem. They are in the process of being listed on the following pages (please help find and add them in):
* [[Index of JavaScript-related articles]] – comprehensive alphabetical list of JavaScript articles.
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject JavaScript/Glossary of JavaScript|Glossary of JavaScript]] – terms and jargon about JavaScript, with descriptions

=== Scope in project space: [[Wikipedia:User scripts|User scripts!]] ===
{{selfref|For further information, see: [[User:The Transhumanist/Outline of scripts|Outline of scripts]]}}

Anything and everything about '''[[Wikipedia:User scripts|user scripts]]''', including but not limited to:
* '''[[User:The Transhumanist/Outline of scripts#Lists of scripts|Lists of user scripts]]'''
* The user scripts themselves
* User script documentation
* User script support pages
** '''[[User:The Transhumanist/Outline of scripts#Using scripts|Using scripts]]'''
** '''[[User:The Transhumanist/Outline of scripts#Writing Wikipedia user scripts|Writing user scripts]]'''
** '''Collaboration on developing user scripts - see the [[WT:JS|talk page]]'''
** JavaScript resources, such as the [[WP:JSRL|JS '''reference library''']] ([[WP:JSRL]])

== Goals ==

This project has three main goals:
# Improve Wikipedia's coverage on the programming language JavaScript
# Organize and support use and development of user scripts
# Help each other learn the JavaScript language and write user scripts

=== Improve coverage of JavaScript topics in the encyclopedia ===

Toward this end, this WikiProject identifies, gathers, and rates all articles about JavaScript. It also identifies, gathers, and creates redirects to all article sections about JavaScript (for example, the links [[Comment (JavaScript)]] and [[Comments in JavaScript]] redirect to [[Comment (computer programming)#JavaScript]]). In addition, we identify gaps in JavaScript coverage, and plan coverage for missing topics by maintaining a list of needed articles and article sections.

To "gather" an article about JavaScript, add it to the [[Index of JavaScript-related articles]].

=== Organize and support use and development of user scripts ===

* [[User:The Transhumanist/Outline of scripts|Outline of scripts]] – directory of everything about user scripts in the Wikipedia community, including lists of scripts, using them, writing them, and other resources.

* Collaboration efforts are coordinated on this WikiProject's '''[[WT:JS|talk page]]'''.

==== Support the development of user scripts ====

This goal entails identifying and listing all user scripts and pages about user scripts, as well as developing support pages for writing and maintaining user scripts. They should all be easily findable, starting from the [[User:The Transhumanist/Outline of scripts|Outline of scripts]].

=== Help each other learn and write JavaScript ===

Do you know JavaScript? No? Doesn't matter. Because with all the resources (knowledge and JavaScript programs) that we have at Wikipedia, we can learn it and improve our skills together.

==== Looking for help with scripts? ====

If you are writing scripts and are stuck, post a message explaining your problem on '''[[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject JavaScript]]''' (this project's talk page). In addition to posting a discussion thread there, you may also wish to post a link (to your discussion thread), on the following pages:
* [[WP:VPT]] – Village Pump Technical, where many of WP's technical gurus and geniuses hang out. There's a fair amount of JavaScript experience there.
* [[WP:RD/C]] – the computing reference desk.

If you don't know how to program in JavaScript but need a user script (or gadget) to do a particular thing, you can post your ideas and requests at the following page:
* [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests]]

== Mapping out the subject ==

Mapping the subject means identifying and organizing its topics.

That entails building reference pages with topic links: the 3 main types of pages on Wikipedia for mapping out a subject are Outlines, Glossaries, and Indices.

By mapping out the subject, we can easily see the gaps in coverage because links that don't lead anywhere turn red.

As they grow more comprehensive, they become powerful tools for navigating and monitoring the subject.

Your help is needed in building Wikipedia's subject maps on JavaScript...

=== Glossary of JavaScript ===

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject JavaScript/Glossary of JavaScript|Glossary of JavaScript]]

=== Outline of JavaScript ===

It is being built into a comprehenisve list of all articles or article sections about JavaScript on Wikipedia. Once it is completed, it will serve as a map of the entire subject's coverage. A JavaScript-experienced editor will be able to spot gaps in that coverage. And the list will also allow monitoring of all JavaScript-related pages.

Among the uses of an outline are as a composition and revision tool. As a topic tree, the outline can be used to plan and improve the structure of the subject, from filling gaps to deciding what topics should be covered in what articles, to spotting redundant articles, to choosing the best names for the branches and leaves of the subject.

The descriptive annotations are included to aid in topic selection, but they also make the outline a de facto classified glossary (not to be confused with the "Glossary of" pages, which are of the alphabetical sort). Therefore, using and working on the outline naturally improve one's vocabulary and fluency in the subject. (Comment from the Transhumanist: "Names are much more useful when you know what they belong to, and things are far more visible once you know their names. When I built the [[Outline of chess]], my game improved from winning 50% of the time to winning 80% of the time. Once I knew the tactics by name, I could see them coming a mile away.").

=== Index of JavaScript-related articles ===

[[Index of JavaScript-related articles]] is an alphabetical list of all articles in the encyclopedia about JavaScript or any part of the JavaScript ecosystem.

== Editing advice ==
{{further|WP:PROJPAGE}}


=== Formatting JavaScript code ===

In the editor, precede your JavaScript code with this:

<code><nowiki><syntaxhighlight lang="javascript"></nowiki></code>

and follow it with this:

<code><nowiki></syntaxhighlight></nowiki></code>

and it will turn out looking something like this:

<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">
// Here is the regular expression for matching the scoop target (to "scoop up" the redlinked entry with direct (non-piped) link, plus the whole next line)
const nodeScoop2 = new RegExp('\\n((\\*)+)[ ]*?\\[\\[\\s*'+(RegExp.quote(redlinks[i]))+'\\s*\\]\\].*?\\n(.*?\\n)','i');

// To actualize the search string above, we create a variable with method:
const matchString2 = wpTextbox1.value.match(nodeScoop2);
alert(matchString2); // for testing

// Declare match patterns
const patt1 = new RegExp(":");
const patt2 = new RegExp(" – ");
const patt3 = /$1\*/;
</syntaxhighlight>

== [[WP:JSRL|Reference library]] ==

We are building a list of web resources on JavaScript at '''[[WP:JSRL]]''', to help editors find useful links to add to articles, and to provide reliable sources on JavaScript. Feel free to add to it.
