@bjb568 The ten errors on that dialogue are a perpetual annoyance.

user259867

The protected question message "you must have earned at least 10 reputation on this site" is from the days when SE referred to "sites". They phased out that language in most places since then, replacing "sites" by "communities". But not here.

@Woodface No reason to use a monosyllabic word with a specific meaning when you have a tetrasyllabic word with an expansively vague meaning just waiting to bump it off the end of the pier.

Q: If automatic community wiki conversion is gone, why do the confusing messages still exist?

Now that posts can't be automatically converted to community wiki, it makes sense to just ditch all those annoying messages for "why" a post got converted in the first place. The code for selecting the message that gets displayed there has always been buggy and inaccurate. In many cases, the reas...

^ Working on this.

Doorknob

oh heh

Couldn't you just do something like $('.user-237813.monologue .message')?

AstroCB

2:49 AM

@Doorknob Yes, but I'm using MutationObserver and adding a button to all of bjb's messages that allow you to translate each one.

Doorknob

@AstroCB Ah. Could you not just make it translate on click? That would be much easier and cross-browser as well.

AstroCB

@Doorknob Just clicking the message?

Doorknob

Yeah.

AstroCB

I like that; will do.

Doorknob

Or make it so whenever you click the "menu" button on one of bjb's messages (the "message actions" thing), it adds a "translate" option to the list.

AstroCB

2:52 AM

@Doorknob That's what I planned on originally, but that thing's created and removed dynamically, and I don't want to deal with interfacing w/ SE's listeners.

Doorknob

@AstroCB Why can't you do something like $(document.body).on('click', '.user-237813.monologue .message .action-link', function(e) { ... })? (not sure if the class is called action-link, but you get the point)

bjb568

@Doorknob document.body.onclick sounds familiar

Doorknob

@bjb568 Heh, yeah, good luck getting dynamic event listeners with vanilla JS.

Lemme rephrase that: good luck getting cross-browser, terse, and elegant dynamic event listeners with vanilla JS.

AstroCB

@Doorknob That works, but I'd have to set a timer to wait for the popup to load, which is terrible design.

But then again, I'm no stranger to terrible design with hardcoded timers waiting for load.

Doorknob

@AstroCB Ah, the popup has to load. Forgot about that. :/
