[edit] functionality

I came across this from a link at Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2006_September_12#Voting.2Fpolling_templates as an alternative to the templates currently up for deletion. I'm interested in implementing this for myself, but can't seem to figure out how. Hoping somebody could help me. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 12:06, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

This seems to only work in IE, as I've found out by accident. Is there any way to make this compatable with Firefox? — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 15:17, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I found the IE-only code (it seems innerText is IE-only), and replaced it with something else that also works with IE, but is hopefully more portable. I don't have a copy of FireFox to test it on, though. --ais523 07:34, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Works just fine, now. Thanks! — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 11:34, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Test image

When this is installed, a good place to test it is near the top of WP:SFD. It should look something like this:

[edit] How to use?

I included the script to my monobook, but it cannot work.--Alex S.H. Lin 05:44, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

It ought to have worked. What went wrong? Did you get any JavaScript errors? --ais523 18:52, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Update

The comment/note image url needs to be updated to http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/Symbol_comment_vote.svg/15px-Symbol_comment_vote.svg.png. Just letting you know. Love your scripts, thanks!

Y Done, thanks for pointing that out! --ais523 18:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

My pleasure :) Equazcion •✗/C • 18:50, 2 Jan 2008 (UTC)

[edit] more symbols

Nice idea with this script. I like to see quickly votes in polls while I do not like using templates myself to illustrate them.

If you want to incoporate more symbols, there's a nice list at User:Misza13/vote - 52 Pickup ^(deal) 08:50, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

I've looked at the list; it gets most of them already, and the others mostly seem implausible. (I'm using the Unsupport symbol for Delist at WP:FPC, because it seems appropriate there.) Do you know of any comments which miss symbols with the script which ought to have them, due to the symbol not being programmed? --ais523 10:45, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Not really. I've only just started using this script so I haven't had that much experience with it yet. Nice work, though. - 52 Pickup ^(deal) 20:41, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

A few more things I'm seeing at DRV that don't have symbols: List (for things needing to go to XfD, similar to Relist); Speedy close and Close; and Restore (for undeleting articles improperly deleted). — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 03:02, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your suggestion. I've updated the script; if you bypass your cache to see the changes, all the bolded text in your comment above should have symbols now. --ais523 15:26, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

ais, you rock! Thanks for taking my suggestions and your choices of icons look spot-on! — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 17:21, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion

Perhaps the vote symbols can incorporate the Vote Pictograms at commons:User:Norro/Voting. Just a suggestion. Glacier Wolf 03:30, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
