Warning: You take full responsibility for any action you perform using FurMe. You must read and understand Wikipedia policies and use this tool within these policies, or risk being blocked from editing. |
FurMe was a set of JavaScripts that gives registered users a convenient way to manage Image namespace specific tasks, primarily to generate non-free use rationales to images that lack them. FurMe is based on the morebits.js library, and therefore is subject to all usage restrictions inherited from that library (please see the TWINKLE doc page for more information).
Notes
- This script is tested only on Mozilla Firefox (and unofficially Opera and Safari). It will not work on Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Removal of templates
editFurMe will remove the following templates from the page (a proper fair use rationale should fix any of the problems described in these templates).
- {{Di-no source}} (redirects: No source, Unspecified, Unknownsource, Fairuseunknownsource, Fuus, Nosource, No source since, No source notified, No info, Nosources, Di-no-source)
- {{Di-disputed fair use rationale}} (redirects: Di-disputed rationale, Improve rationale)
- {{Di-no fair use rationale}} (redirects: No rationale, Fairuse rationale needed, Fu-ra-ne, Norat, Norationale, Di-no rationale)
Removal of categories
editFurMe will remove the following categories from pages it edits.
- Category:Disputed non-free images (and date based subcategories)
Preview/Saving changes
editBy default, FurMe does not automatically save your changes. After submitting the form, you will be prompted with a diff of the proposed changes. See the Configuration section for details on how to change this behavior.
General Cleanup
editFurMe makes the following minor cleanup to the page.
- Will change ==Summary== to == Summary ==
- Will add == Summary == (if it does not already exist)
- Will add == Licensing == (if it does not already exist) above the non-free license template
- Will clean Amazon URLs, stripping extraneous parameters and normalizing format
Tag tab
editFurMe also adds an additional "Tags" tab to pages in the Image namespace, allowing the management of image templates with a simple checklist, and a dropdown for automatically changing the licence tag of an image.
Functionality of FurMeScroller
editFurMeScroller is an add-on to FurMe. It allows for scrolling through a specially crafted list of image links, opening FurMe after each image opens. After the image changes are saved, the next image is opened.
This technique allows for going through a large number of images fairly quickly (note: this technique may not be useful for all image lists, it is useful, however, for album covers used only in one article, for example).
It is possible to have FurMeScroller automatically open any article in which an image is used, but in which it is not used in an infobox. When FurMeScroller opens this article, it will highlight the image in question in pink and give you the option of removing the image. See the Configuration section for removal options.
By default, FurMeScroller goes through ten images at a time. See the Configuration section for details on how to change this behavior.
Image lists for FurMeScroller
editThe following image lists are available. They are updated periodically (or upon request).
- Album Covers
- Book Covers
- Historic Images
- Logos
- Video Covers
