I want to improve my WordPress blogging experience especially since most of the pages I link also have two extra links of the archived pages in the Wayback Machine and Archive.is.
The WordPress Press-This bookmarklet does not always cut it. It is slow too as it does a POST request to the WordPress site which then renders a new page.
It is also highly minified, so below are some links that will hopefully allow me to research it further to see if I either could improve it for my own workflow, or need to start from scratch.
I want to figure out:
- what the values of the
v= version parameter were (I know about v=8 and v=4, there are likely more)
- which commits were involved
- can I get more information (like summary, first heading or first paragraph of a page too)
- what techniques are used for opening new windows/tabs
TODO: make diffs of the various versions

TL;DR:
javascript:{h=location.href;open('https://archive.is/?run=1&url='+encodeURIComponent(h));location.href='https://web.archive.org/save/'+(h)}

I am a keyboard user, so I love keyboard shortcuts. If these are unavailable, still do it by keyboard quicker than by mouse.
Based on various answers and comments in [Wayback/Archive] Shortcut to open specific bookmark / URL in Chrome – Super User my way to open Chrome bookmarks (from my vast collection) is this:
- Move focus to the url bar with ⌘+L (macOS) or Ctrl+L (Windows/Linux).
- Type the first part of the bookmark name.
- Press navigation keys to select the bookmark.
- Press enter to select the bookmark.
Thanks to these Super User users:

Maintaining a blog takes considerable time, so I wrote a bit of JavaScript for the browser console and bookmarklets to help me navigate faster, especially from my published posts on wiert.me back to the WordPress editing environment.
I wrote this because a query like [Wayback/Archive] wordpress get id from post html – Google Search top hits only contain results that work within the WordPress environment itself, like for instance [Wayback/Archive] 14 Ways to Get Post ID in WordPress.
This blog post is long and contains a lot of information, so I have split it in quite a few sections.
Let’s get started:

I quickly hacked together this JavaScript Bookmarklet today, so it is without any checks and assumes you have enabled one Mastodon account for publishing, that you are hosting your blog on WordPress.com, and using the Classic Editor:
javascript:(function(){
publicizeFormEditHref = document.getElementById('publicize-form-edit');
publicizeFormEditHref.click();
mastodonCheckboxes = document.getElementsByClassName('wpas-submit-mastodon');
mastodonCheckboxes[0].checked = true;
publicizeFormHideHref = document.getElementById('publicize-form-hide');
publicizeFormHideHref.click();
updateButtonHref = document.getElementById('publish');
updateButtonHref.click();
})();
The above code is the state of [Wayback/Archive] JavaScript Bookmarklet for the WordPress classic editor which enables mastodon publishing (assuming you have one mastodon publishing account enabled … ) and due to be improved in a later blog post.
This will enable the currently edited post to be published to Mastodon, then update/publish the post.
On enabling one Mastodon account for publishing:

In Bookmarklets for Archive.is and the WayBack Machine to go to the original page, I wrote about how the Shadow DOM is used to prevent side effects between the code of the WayBack machine and the archived page.
In a similar manner, Bookmarklets can also interfere with code on the page and vice versa, for instance by using global variables.
That is why the [Wayback/Archive] A simple bookmarklet to tweet the current page – DEV Community is wrapped in a special kind of function:
javascript:(function(){
n=getSelection().anchorNode;
t=n.nodeType===3?n.data:n.innerText;t='“'+t+'”\\n\\n';
window.open(`https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?
text=${encodeURIComponent(t)}${document.location.href}`)
})()
This is an [Wayback/Archive] IIFE – MDN Web Docs Glossary: Definitions of Web-related terms | MDN or “Immediately Invoked Function Expression”, a mechanism coined by [Archive] Ben Alman (@cowboy) / Twitter at [Wayback/Archive] Ben Alman » Immediately-Invoked Function Expression (IIFE).
Since the variables are inside the function body, they won’t interfere with the page. The body will be immediately executed.

Quite often, when browsing an archived page on Archive.is or the WayBack Machine, I want to check the current status of the original page.
So I wrote a few Bookmarklets.
Archive.is
Default field
Any Archive.is page has a Saved from field which is an input html element having a name attribute with value q and a value property containing the URL, which is navigated to by assigning the location in the above code.
So my goto Bookmarklet is this one:
javascript:open(document.getElementsByName("q")[0]?.value)
It uses [0]? as there is no getElementsByName, but there is [Wayback/Archive] Document.getElementsByName() – Web APIs | MDN as name values need not to be unique but id values have to be.
Other Archive.is fields
The above works on all types of Archive.is page types:
- search pages like https://archive.is/https://example.org
- actual archived pages like https://archive.is/LkpeZ and https://archive.ph/2022.01.22-165646/https://wiert.wordpress.com/
- these only have a
Saved from field.
- redirected archived pages like https://archive.ph/UEQeg and https://archive.ph/2013.01.03-111457/http://www.iana.org/domains/example/
- these both have
Saved from and Redirected from fields.
- complex pages like https://archive.ph/5iVVH and https://archive.ph/2015.11.14-044109/http://www.example.org/
- those have even more fields: in addition to fields
Saved from and Redirected from, the fields Via and Original also are added.
To get the additional fields from the other fields, we need to figure out a way to access them.

As Chrome mangles Bookmarklets to a partially escaped form (I think using Percent encoding), I first tried to document my Bookmarklets in Markdown so I could easier edit them and copy these JavaScript links to various browsers. That failed, because the html rendered from the Markdown didn’t contain the links any more. So I now use plain html for documenting them which is a pain to edit but works.
[Wayback/Archive] Some bookmarklets hosted as [Wayback/Archive] Some bookmarklets – cached 1 minute – throttled and [Wayback/Archive] Some bookmarklets – cached 1 year – CDN.
This is why:
- Technically you can include JavaScript for Bookmarklets in Markdown documents both as Markdown links (either with escapes or by splitting reference and link in two pieces) and html links (as embedding html in Markdown is allowed): [Wayback/Archive] Bookmarklet link in Markdown document – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Adam Haile, [Wayback/Archive] Zombo and [Wayback/Archive] stevemegson)
- Because of security reasons, many hosters will filter out JavaScript when transforming Markdown in html [Wayback/Archive] Embed JavaScript in GitHub README.md – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Matt Smith and [Wayback/Archive] coyotte508)
Searches: [Wayback/Archive] markdown javascript in link – Google Search and [Wayback/Archive] “embed javascript” in markdown – Google Search.
