View source script is not working

I pasted importScript('User:Misza13/viewSource.js'); into monobook.js, and theres no "view source" button, is it incompatible with some settings? - ZLEA _Talk\^Contribs 14:48, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@ZLEA: Misza13 (talk · contribs) has left Wikipedia (their last edit was almost three years ago), and User:Misza13/viewSource.js is no longer maintained. I'm no JavaScript expert, but two problems spring out immediately: (i) The importScript function is deprecated; and (ii) the addOnloadHook function hasn't worked at all since late 2016.

Where did you hear about this script? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:07, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I actually did some more research on scripts and it only works with the Monobook skin, and it works. I heard about the script while looking for useful scripts to test. - ZLEA _Talk\^Contribs 00:25, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a good idea to test unmaintained JavaScript that you didn't write yourself, unless you are pretty certain of what it is doing. In this case, I suggest asking for assistance at WP:VPT where many JavaScript experts may be found. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 13:11, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I used several other scripts by Misza13 and they were helpful, so I trust M13's scripts are ok. - ZLEA _Talk\^Contribs 18:43, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty certain that Misza13's scripts were working well - at the time that Misza13 last worked on them. But the MediaWiki software has moved on, and a number of techniques that Misza13 used have become deprecated or even made obsolete in the last three or four years due to the amendment or removal of certain functions, features and even whole libraries. If you look at the VPT archives, there are a number of threads of the form "this script used to work fine, now it doesn't do this/it doesn't work at all". --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:00, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've dropped a note at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#View source script is not working. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:02, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the error and it is now works in the monobook skin but will not work in vector. Ruslik_Zero 20:35, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
