Addon for wiki
Images are sometimes not shown due to bandwidth/network limitations. Refreshing the page usually helps.

ever since the wiki update saving images has been a pain in the dick.
as most of you know, the latest version of all wikis now have a nice feature for image revisions.
this means you can go back and forth to older and newer images easily
however, it fucks up file-names depending on how yous save the image!
here is an example:
http://any.random.wikia/images/theimageiwanttosave.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20151011234123
now, in any normal circumstance, you save the image, and it saves as "theimageiwanttosave.jpg"
however, with this new revisions feature, dragging and dropping images ALWAYS saves the image as "latest.jpg"
this makes it incredibly agonizing to save multiple images from wiki unless you want to right-click, save-as every single time.
there is a simple fix to this, simply cut off the revision
here is an example:
http://any.random.wikia/images/theimageiwanttosave.jpg
saving this by drag-and-drop will save with the original file name
what i would like to know is. is there an addon i can install that will let me filter out certain parts of the address bar?
(in that way i can set a filter for /revision/latest?cb=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX)
or, is there an addon that gets rid of this specifically for wiki images?

When they pushed this shit I just blocked JavaScript on wikipedia.org and now I get the functional, old version of the image viewer again.

What do you use to block java?
Literally chrome
Oops. I just realized this is a Wikia issue not Wikipedia.
Still, if anyone has a fix...

Stop acting like a prick. I'll write a bash script for you if you give me an example article's image.

You're pretty based.
This is an link:

This is what it looks like without revision.

I wrote it in bash, but realized you were probably using windows, I'm trying to do it in python now.#!/bin/bash
read -p "What is the URL: " urlLink
urlLink=$(echo $urlLink | sed s:"/revision/latest?cb=".*::g)
echo $urlLink
