See this help page for more information on Wikipedia scripting. Also see Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Old list of scripts for the script list that appeared on this page prior to 1 May 2012.

User scripts are customizations authored by the community that allow registered Wikipedia users to change Wikipedia's interface beyond the options available in preferences. This page provides a list of available scripts and provides instructions on installing them. User scripts are written in JavaScript.

Installation

There are generally 3 steps to script installation:

• First, make sure you are registered and logged in. Only logged-in users can install scripts.
• Navigate to Special:MyPage/common.js to see and edit your personal ".js" page. Alternatively, you may use Special:MyPage/skin.js to work only with the .js page that applies to your current skin.
• Edit your .js page and add the following line: importScript('full_script_page_name'); then save the page. For example, to install the Sharebox script, add the following line:

  importScript('User:TheDJ/sharebox.js');

After installation, bypass your cache to make sure the changes take effect.

Additional notes

• Many scripts are designed and tested primarily with the Vector skin (Wikipedia's current default skin).
• If the script is not located on this wiki, you can use mw.loader.load() function to include it from there as shown in the following example. Take note of the explicit action= and ctype= options added to the URL. For example: mw.loader.load('//en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=script.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');
• Some user scripts are made into gadgets; you can install them simply by selecting a checkbox in your Preferences.
• See Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Old list of scripts for the script list that appeared on this page prior to 1 May 2012. It contains an extensive list of scripts that haven't been confirmed working recently.
• See Category:Wikipedia scripts for the most exhaustive list of user scripts.

• Watchlist scout – Polls your watchlist when you open any wikipedia page, and then once a minute after that. When it discovers a new, unread page in your watchlist, creates a user-message informing you of the change, and stops polling. The message contains links to your watchlist, to the changed pages, and to their history page.

Libraries

These functions can be included directly in a script but don't do anything unless called by some other code. The functions marked as deprecated have been rendered obsolete by new features added to MediaWiki, and only exist now as wrappers for compatibility with existing code.

The code can be imported by adding {{subst:css|Page_name}} to your monobook.js, or the code can be @imported into your monobook.css. You can just paste the source code if you do not wish to receive updates to the code when it is improved.
