GM Script - Add wiki links to descriptions

Download here http://www.bigalphillips.com/storage/metro/wiki_linker.user.js

This greasemonkey script changes the names of object descriptions to wiki links in the right sidebar, for convenient wiki usage. This changes anything that uses desc.php, so it includes objects, skills, techniques, effects, etc.

(And added bonus, it changes the "Info" link at the top to the Wiki instead. I find myself click the Info link a dozen times a day when wanting to just get to the wiki/forums. But you can remove this easily enough.)

-Al

Edit: fixed wiki header link if net active, added effects, types and requires links.

Downloade instaled and its a nice script:)
I newver wrote a greasemonke script myself, so i wanted to ask is it possible to do the same for the effects types etc inside the description itself?

You mean make a link for the "+2 will", etc? It should certainly be possible. I'll take a look.

The changing of the info link into a wiki link stops working if you have access to the net or have set the option to display a metro link in the top bar.

I fixed it by changing the 10's into i's in the loop at the end of the script, which I think was the original intention.

Okay, various more links in the descriptions have been added: links to the Type (eg. "shirt"), Requires (eg. "16 Base Will") and Effects (eg. "+2 Fire Power"). There's still occasional weirdness here and there but it should be working well overall.

Also, the bug that Harrakan pointed out is fixed. Wiki link should now work if you have net access. Thanks for that!

Hi,

Just wanted to report that the script currently seems to turn "Return to chat" in item's descriptions into a link to a "return-to-chat" page on the wiki, which is a bit annoying. Other than that, that script is very useful for the clueless noob that I am.
