My initial idea was indeed some extra buttons on an existing wiki page, but that's not set in stone. I assumed just adding some buttons would be easier, but from what you say, maybe not?
And per Travis's note, yeah, I grew up with jQuery, but I gather it's a bit old-school there's days.

Just wanted to know, is this like a separate standalone page or do you want to make it into a Gadget (like Twinkle)? If it’s standalone you can use Vue or React or any other front end framework, but if you want to make it as a Gadget you’re going to have to do a bit more work to make it work. Especially if you want to be like Twinkle and add extra buttons to the existing UI.On Thu, Aug 8, 2024 at 1:14 PM Travis Briggs <audiod...@gmail.com> wrote:Vue.js is definitely a good option. I already had a lot of _javascript_ experience, but I learned Vue at someone's recommendation for a wikimedia project and it was a great experience.One quick tip that might help you: in the "old world" you might use jQuery or something to do AJAX requests (XHR). However, in modern browsers, the built-in `fetch` function is more than adequate for almost everything.Also, I would highly recommend using create-vue to bootstrap your project, because it sets up all the complicated _javascript_ "compilation" steps for you, and gives you commands so that you can just do "npm run build" and get a static site in a single directory.Good luck!-Travis_______________________________________________On Thu, Aug 8, 2024 at 8:36 AM Kimmo Virtanen <kimmo.virta...@gmail.com> wrote:_______________________________________________On Thu, Aug 8, 2024 at 6:34 PM Roy Smith <r...@panix.com> wrote:I'm about to embark on building a client-side _javascript_ tool intended to help with enwiki's [[WP:DYK]] process. JS is not my strength (and what I do know about tooling is quite outdated) so I'm looking for advice on what's in common use in the WMF environment these days. If I'm going to learn some new tools, I figure I might as well learn what folks here are using. If only because it'll make it easier for me to mooch on other people for help :-)
As far as testing goes, I used to use JUnit. I gather that's pretty old-hat by now. What are you-all using?
And for app frameworks. Angular? React? I hear Vie might be the new hotness? I'm leaning more towards "easy to learn" vs "most powerful".
