The data controller popup is what shows up in the top right when someone loads an item that is a data controller, for instance Uber (Q101).
Current implementation
- MediaWiki:Common.js, which is run for everyone accessing a page, loads MediaWiki:Access.js
- `Access.js` checks whether the page is an instance of (P3) data controller (Q96)
- if so, the Template:MailtoAccess template is run with parameter the qID
- a `href` is created
Wishlist
- Make the whole popup be a wikitext template, using the MediaWiki Template framework
- A warning to check the email address that things are sent to (this would be a sneaky way to be a bad guy)
- A button to copy to clipboard the mailto link (browsers make it difficult to copy this type of link)
- An invitation to Tweet "I just asked my data from company ____, join me at ____"
How to do it
- Ask for access to be able to modify the MediaWiki namespace
- better yet, implement your new version as a user script:
- go to your own Special:Mypage/common.js
- add a line to load your own script (get inspired by any other user's scripts, for instance
