:::You should use [https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/js/#!/api/jQuery.plugin.textSelection jquery.textSelection] [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/mediawiki/browse/master/resources/src/jquery/jquery.textSelection.js source] api module to access the contents of the wiki text editors. That synchronises between the various wiki text editors, so that when two tools makes changes to the form value, they don't overwrite each other. —[[User:TheDJ|Th<span style="color: green">e</span>DJ]] ([[User talk:TheDJ|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TheDJ|contribs]]) 09:16, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

== Disabling Media viewer and Page preview ==

There is the page [[Wikipedia:Tools/Greasemonkey_user_scripts]] which shows publicly usable Greasemonkey scripts to give the users a better experience. Sadly there is no list for requested scripts. So I guess, this one here has to be the right one for this purpose, too.

I think, I have a request to make Wikipedia usable / readable for normal people (without an account) again.

Please, provide us (or at least the technically versed parts of us) with some means to disable these annoying "features" of the Wikipedia once and for all. I don't think that I have to name reasons here - there are multiple comments on the appropriate discussion pages which seem to be ignored altogether.

So please, give at least the Greasemonkey users the possibility to turn off Media viewer and Page preview. It's really no help at all to have to choose to disable them about a hundred times a day (for every browser instance [in case of the Page preview also for every already opened browser tab!], for every language version, multiple times a day again and again and again)!

Otherwise Wikipedia seems not to be usable in an effective manner anymore. Even on big screens it's hard to find a spot to "park" your mouse cursor at to be able to scroll the site without having previews popping up every now and then. - Which totally disturbs the normal workflow!

:unfortunately, without an account you cannot activate a user script or enable a gadget. But, I encourage you to make an account ([[WP:ACCOUNT]]) - you may find what you are looking for in your account's settings ("preferences"). --[[User:DannyS712|DannyS712]] ([[User talk:DannyS712|talk]]) 04:47, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

:You can also use a popup-blocker to get rid of all popups on Wikipedia articles. Moreover there exist Extensions at Google Chrome Store, that let you disable popups on selected websites, you can use them as well. --[[Special:Contributions/180.151.77.214|180.151.77.214]] ([[User talk:180.151.77.214|talk]]) 19:30, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

::A pop-up blocker will not work for page preview pop-ups, as they use html rather than creating a window. However, there is a gear icon in the pop-up which allows you to disable them. Alternatively, you can add <code>.mwe-popups{display:none!important}</code> using user css. --[[User:Danski454|Danski454]] ([[User talk:Danski454|talk]]) 11:30, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
