The Bookmarkleterator

The Bookmarkleterator lets you generate custom bookmarklets to automate common edit screen tasks. You can choose any combination of the above options, then click 'Generate Bookmarklet' to generate a custom bookmarklet that will set all of those automatically.

• ODP Note: Enter an editor's note here to be automatically filled into the edit screen when the bookmarklet is executed. The string CAT, if entered into a note, will be replaced by the category name that you're working in. For example, if you enter in the Bookmarkleterator's ODP Note field

  Affiliate site, deleting from CAT.
  

  and you use the bookmarklet on an entry in Bookmarks/E/estragon, the note would say

  Affiliate site, deleting from Bookmarks/E/estragon.
  

  CAT2 will be replaced with the category name to which the site is being moved, either automatically by the bookmarklet, or which you have typed or selected. So if you enter in the Bookmarkleterator's ODP Note field

  Inappropriate for CAT, moving to CAT2.
  

  and you move a site from Bookmarks/E/estragon to Bookmarks/V/vladimir, the note would read

  Inappropriate for Bookmarks/E/estragon, moving to Bookmarks/V/vladimir.
  

• Append to Note: By default, the contents of the ODP Note field above is appended to any note you have already typed in. Uncheck this box if you want the note to overwrite anything typed in instead.

• Move to cat: Enter a category name here to move the entry to that cat. Both slash-separated (Shopping/Video_Games) or colon-separated (Shopping: Video Games) formats are accepted.

• Clear Date: Check this box to automatically clear any entry from the date field.

• Action: Choose one of the action buttons to select that action. The "Move/Keep Unreviewed" option will keep it in the unreviewed area if it's currently there, or move it to the unreviewed area if it's currently in the directory.

• Autoclick: If you choose one of the 'Autoclick' options, then the bookmarklet will automatically process the changes as if you had hit the 'Update+Back' or 'Update+Next' button. You will not get a chance to review changes so please use this option carefully.

• Bookmarklet Name: Specify a name of your choice. Most (but not all) browsers will file the bookmarklet under this name when you add it to your bookmarks or favorites.

• One-click Affiliate Nuker - adds a note 'Affiliate site, not listing in CAT.', deletes the site, and does an Update+Back to return you to the unreviewed list.
• Speed Date Clearer - Clears the date, adds a note 'Removing date entry in CAT.', and does an Update+Next so you can quickly fix a batch of inappropriate dates.
• Move to Espaņol - Adds a note 'Spanish-language site submitted to CAT, sending to World/Espaņol for review.', checks the 'Keep in Unreviewed' box, and enters World/Espaņol in the "Move to cat:" field. It doesn't autoclick, giving you a chance to add
• Move for Review - To use this bookmarklet, select or type the category to move an entry to, then activate the bookmarklet. It will add a note 'submitted to CAT, moving to CAT2 for review' (filling in the appropriate cats), checks the 'Keep in Unreviewed' box, and clicks the Update+Next button.

• You can't use double quotes in your notes - the Bookmarkleterator will turn them into single quotes.
• The Bookmarkleterator has so far only been tested on Netscape 4.7 (Linux and Windows) and Internet Explorer 5 (Windows).
