User:Dragoniez/InvestigateHelper

InvestigateHelper is a CheckUser script designed to facilitate the use of Special:Investigate. It features:

An Investigate table parser that generates a list of retrieved usernames and IPs with useful tool links to check previous user activity.
Automatic common IP range calculations to easily identify candidates for blocking.
An on-page mass block interface that is fully compatible with multiblocks.

Installation

Add the following to Special:MyPage/common.js on the project(s) where you have CheckUser access. If you have access on multiple projects, it can also be added to Special:MyPage/global.js. (source code)

if (mw.config.get('wgCanonicalSpecialPageName') === 'Investigate' && mw.config.get('wgTitle').includes('/')) {
	mw.loader.load("//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Dragoniez/InvestigateHelper.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript");
}

Usage

When investigating users and/or IPs, InvestigateHelper automatically parses the Investigate table, generates a list of retrieved usernames and IPs with useful tool links, and calculates common IP ranges from the parsed IP addresses.

Index	Item	Details
1	user selector	A checkbox for this username or IP address. When (un)checked, it is reflected in the username field of the "Block user" tab.
2	list toggle	A button to expand/collapse detailed information on this username or IP address.
3	date range	The date range during which the user/IP was active. Parsed directly from the Investigate table.
4	IP range	CIDR allocation details, present if the listed entry is a CIDR address.
5	associated usernames	A list of usernames and IP addresses that are associated with the listed user/IP.
6	selected user list	A list of selected users/IPs. This field is updated when any checkbox is (un)checked, and updates here are also reflected in the checkboxes. Clicking on "Investigate" opens another Special:Investigate with the selected users/IPs.
7	block button	A button to perform a mass block on the selected users/IPs. Clicking this button opens a confirmation dialog.
8	block targets (new)	For targets not currently blocked, the dialog shows a list of usernames with checkboxes. Uncheck any box to exclude that user/IP before pressing "Submit".
9	block targets (modify)	For targets already blocked, the dialog lists active blocks and lets the initiator add a new block, modify an existing block, or lift a block.
10	unblock reason	When lifting blocks, a textbox is provided to enter an unblock reason, which will be used for any unblocks performed.
11	active blocks	Check or uncheck boxes to choose whether to add a new block, modify an existing block, or lift an existing block.
12	traverser	If the Investigate table is paginated, a "traverser" button is generated. Clicking it automatically collects CheckUser data from all other pages and updates the lists accordingly.
