Due to a severe shortage of time, I am no longer able to be an active member of the Wikibooks project. Please see my page for more details about my absense. I will continue to monitor my talk page for correspondence and will try to reply quickly when possible.

About

This page is going to be some basic documentation about User:Whiteknight/gadgetscore.js. This script is a series of functions to make some of my common javascripting tasks easier. All functions have a "wk." prefix, to help reduce namespace pollution. Functions that start with an underscore are private functions, and will not be documented here. Don't try to use them, because they will likely be changed in future versions.

Versions

The current version of the script can be gotten with wk.versionstring(). This will return a string of text such as Version 2.2 BETA. To test for particular functionality, try wk.testVersion(2.2). This will return true if the current script version is greater then or equal to the version you specify.

All functions will be listed with the version number required in parenthesis.
