CopiedTemplateEditor (or CTE) allows users to graphically edit a talk page's ((copied)) templates. This is mainly for CCI case handlers who have to deal with mass intrawiki copying, but can be used by anyone who interacts frequently with ((copied)) templates.

Dedicated to the hardworking WikiProject Copyright Cleanup members.

Installation

To install the script, add this to your common.js file. 

mw.loader.load( '/w/index.php?title=User:Chlod/Scripts/CopiedTemplateEditor-loader.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' ); // Backlink: [[User:Chlod/Scripts/CopiedTemplateEditor-loader.js]]

This will run a lightweight loader for the editor on every page load. This ensures that the main components of CTE are only loaded when you need it. When you click on the "((copied)) Template Editor" option on the "Tools" list at the side of the page or when you click on the edit button on a ((copied)) template, the main components (found in User:Chlod/Scripts/CopiedTemplateEditor-core.js) are loaded and run.

You may optionally load the core script instead to make opening the dialog faster, but this is only recommended for high-speed connections with minimal ping to Wikimedia servers.
