@Aklapper: The code is: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-EasyQuery.js, they can test it by copy-pasting it into console (in Inspect element), if they want to make a change, just copy past the new version here and I will review.

Aklapper updated the task description. (Show Details)

@Ladsgroup: Thanks. I've rephrased the task summary.
Imported as https://codein.withgoogle.com/tasks/6276261871616000/

Confirmed that the fact no longer has an ellipsis. I also tried an old revision, https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q1021880&oldid=463116190

The "triple dot link" is not showing on this Wikimedia page...

Yeah need to install the easy query gadget first, it is in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-EasyQuery.js (you can copy-paste it in the console or enable it in gadget section in your preferences)

Claimed on gci

Here's the patched code:

Gadget-EasyQuery.js5 KBDownload

Could you test it @Ladsgroup ?

When running your snippet in console, I get "org.openrdf.query.MalformedQueryException: Encountered " <STRING_LITERAL2> "\"Commons category\" "" at line 2, column 26." (link to query)

@Ladsgroup have you disabled the gadget (EasyQuery) first at your Wikidata account? I had the same problem before, it seems like caused by jQuery catched the wrong element when there are 2 3 dots buttons

Yes, you're right, Overall it's better to select based on class and id so nothing like this happens and it selects from the right element regardless of changes, but that can happen later.

Ladsgroup closed this task as Resolved.Dec 2 2017, 3:20 PM

I think so +1
