Install PageLinksCopier and copy decoded links to the pages and files (majorly non-Latin) in one-go!
Development[edit]
PageLinksCopier was firstly created on Kashmiri Wikipedia by Nadeemulhaqmir to help copy decoded links of pages. The default result of copying a link is, for instance, https://ks.wikipedia.org/wiki/%DB%81%D9%90%D9%86%D8%AF%D9%88%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%A7%D9%86 - which leads one to the article about "India" on Kashmiri Wikipedia. The script decodes %DB%81%D9%90%D9%86%D8%AF%D9%88%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%A7%D9%86 to the title of the page, and works almost on all of the namespaces including Special ones, with an exception of Special:MobileDiff. For the given article, it produces a link this way https://ks.wikipedia.org/wiki/ہِندوستان.
This is a problem with almost all of the non-English titles including Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, Marathi, Kashmir, among others. If you copy a link in one go, install this on your common.js, and enjoy copying links. This is so easy since it produces a "clipboard" icon on the top of a page.
Subsequent improvements[edit]
I am not a tech-person but I enjoy doing some tweaks around. This script has received significant contributions from Yethrosh for its functionality on several Special pages.
Local installation[edit]
This should be added on the common.js page:
importScript('User:Aafi/PageLinksCopier.js'); // Backlink: [[User:Aafi/PageLinksCopier.js]]
Elsewhere[edit]
This works on all Wikis. You might want to add on your common.js (else global.js), the following lines to make it work:
mw.loader.load("//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:TheAafi/PageLinksCopier.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript");
Translations and questions[edit]
The script uses two translation strings, "Copy Link" and a notification, "The link has been copied. Enjoy!" If you want to have it included in your language, please leave me a message on User talk:Aafi. Current translations include: ar, mr, ur
