Installation[edit]
You can use script-installer to install this script.

If the "The document contains errors. Are you sure you want to publish?
" warning appears when trying to save the page, just click "OK".
It is possible to install this script in other wikis too. Also, it's possible to use it without having to be logged in. See this section for instructions.
What it does[edit]
- 1. Adds "Show 5000 results" into the two "Show x results" menus
- 2. Adds a shortened results list and four copy buttons to quickly copy the results to the clipboard (either plain text, wikitext or PetScan links):
- 2.1. "Copy plain text" results in:
Article Article 2 Article 3
- 2.2. "Copy wikitext" results in:
* [[Article]] * [[Article 2]] * [[Article 3]]
- 2.3. "Copy PetScan (1st)" uses the results shown on the current search page and results in:
https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?active_tab=tab_other_sources&manual_list=Article%0AArticle%202%0AArticle%203&manual_list_wiki=enwiki&project=wikipedia&language=en&doit=
I.e. https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?active_tab=tab_other_sources&manual_list=Article%0AArticle%202%0AArticle%203&manual_list_wiki=enwiki&project=wikipedia&language=en&doit=
- 2.4. "Copy PetScan (2nd)" uses the search query and results in:
https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?active_tab=tab_other_sources&ns%5B0%5D=1&search_query=Article&search_wiki=enwiki&search_max_results=10000&project=wikipedia&language=en&doit=
I.e. https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?active_tab=tab_other_sources&ns%5B0%5D=1&search_query=Article&search_wiki=enwiki&search_max_results=10000&project=wikipedia&language=en&doit=
- 2.1. "Copy plain text" results in:
- 3. Adds buttons to quickly scroll up and down
- 4. Adds "x results shown on the page" next to the results info
- 5. Adds (or brings back?) the red color and slightly bigger font for the "No results found for/Did you mean" notification
