I am flattered that I was the person you went to for help on this matter. I should warn you that I have very little time for development lately, so what work I'll be able to do will be limited. I am also glad that you are using the NewTabLink script, though saddened it became neccissary.

I should tell you some practical information though. The NewTabLink script is merely designed to make it possible to implement new-tab-links, in a format usable by Javascript. It's not designed to convert between the format used by the old parser function, and the span-based format used by the script.

It's theoretically possible to write a converter between the formats. However, I'm not familiar enough with Wikia's API to implement such a thing, which is compounded by the issue that I'm not clear on the old format that was used.

Could you please show me an example page which has what sort of configuration you're trying to use? Also, if you'd like, I can make a template so that the NewTabLink script is a little easier to use, since it would use the same grammar as the other things on the wiki.
