Code that you insert on this page could contain malicious content capable of compromising your account. If you import a script from another page with "importScript", "mw.loader.load", "iusc", or "lusc", take note that this causes you to dynamically load a remote script, which could be changed by others. Editors are responsible for all edits and actions they perform, including by scripts. User scripts are not centrally supported and may malfunction or become inoperable due to software changes. A guide to help you find broken scripts is available. If you are unsure whether code you are adding to this page is safe, you can ask at the appropriate village pump.

// This code will change ISBN links to point to the url of your choice,
// instead of Special:Booksources, when you are logged in. 
//
// How to use it:
//
// 1.) Make sure you are logged in, so you can edit your user javascript 
//     page.
//
// 2.) Copy the contents of this page to your user javascript page. This page is 
//     at User:<your username>/monobook.js , where <your username> is replaced by 
//     your user name. For example, my user name is Lunchboxhero so my javascript 
//     page is User:Lunchboxhero/monobook.js .
// 
//     (Every line that starts with "//" is a comment is not necessary for the code 
//     to work and can be discarded.)
//
// 3.) If you want to change the destination URL from amazon.com to another book
//     source, you can do so by changing the value of the book_source_URL.  Go to 
//     [[Wikipedia:Book sources]] and copy the URL of the book source you want to
//     use (right-click or ctrl-click the link, then click "Copy Link Location", 
//     "Copy Target", or similar).  Put the new URL between the quotes next 
//     to book_source_URL, in place of the URL now there.
//
// 4.) Once satisfied with the destination url, and your javascript page saved, you 
//     may have to refresh your browser cache in order for the code to be loaded. 
//     
//     For Mozilla/Safari/Konqueror: hold down Shift while clicking Reload (or 
//     press Ctrl-Shift-R), IE: press Ctrl-F5, Opera: press F5.
//
// The code should now work, as long as you are logged in.
//
// The current magicURL includes Wikimedia's Amazon Referral reference. That means if you click on 
// the ISBN link, go to Amazon and end up buying the book, Wikimedia will earn some small amount
// of money from that sale.  If you don't want to support Wikimedia in this way, but do want ISBNs
// to link to Amazon, replace the current magicURL with "http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&field-isbn=MAGICNUMBER"
//
// Good luck, and if you have any questions, leave a comment on the discussion
// page of User:Lunchboxhero/monobook.js . Thanks to Superm401 and drrngravy for their
// improvements.
