Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|
This is a list of scripts for WikiProject User scripts.
[edit] Installing
Logged-in users can install scripts by modifying a personal userscripts subpage.
- If you use default Monobook skin, this special link "your monobook.js" points to this subpage.
- If you set some other skin in your Preferences, see Wikipedia:Skin for corresponding subpage name.
- Note that many scripts are designed with Monobook skin in mind. Such scripts should also work in Chick, Simple and Myskin, and are less likely to work in Classic, Nostalgia and Cologne Blue. If you use Modern skin, try enabling a special "compatibility" gadget in your preferences.
Remember that you need to bypass your cache after installation.
[edit] Copying
One way to install a script is to simply copy the whole script code into your monobook.js. You will thereafter have your own copy of the script, which will not be updated automatically; you must do it yourself.
[edit] Importing
Importing is a preferred and most popular way to install a userscript. It makes your monobook.js more readable and automatically keeps you up to date with script updates and fixes.
This is done by adding importScript('full_page_name') to your monobook.js.
For example, to install Watchlist since script, you add the following line to your monobook.js:
importScript('Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Watchlist since');
Not all scripts are subpages of WikiProject User scripts; many scripts are stored in the userspace of the user who maintains them; check the destination of the links in the list below to see where a script is stored, and use that location as the argument to the importScript function.
Note that importing requires the script to have its own page which is entirely valid Javascript (all explanatory text is /* inside comments */), as most scripts do. If you import a file which is not valid Javascript, nothing serious is likely to happen, but your Javascript, and any Javascript you have below that, will not work. If your browser is set to inform you about Javascript errors, you will see these errors; otherwise you will see nothing except that the scripts you have tried to add do not work.
Last note: if you see "&dontcountme=s" in a userscript URL then this part can be removed. It is no longer needed.
[edit] Gadgets
Some userscripts are made into gadgets, you can install them simply by selecting a checkbox in your Preferences.
[edit] Scripts

[edit] Editing |
|
| wikEd | A full-featured in-browser text editor for Wikipedia edit pages. Works in Firefox/Mozilla only. Provides wikicode syntax highlighting, regular expression search and replace, MS Word and HTML to wikicode conversion, server-independent Show preview and Show changes, fullscreen editing mode, and single-click fixing of common mistakes |

Much faster then regular preview, which requires reloading the whole page, also does not change the cursor position in the edit window, making it easier to continue editing. Unlike InstaView templates, images etc are rendered correctly, also the script is much "lighter" then InstaView. (documentation) |

[edit] 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.
(Template)
| Documentation | Summary |
|---|---|
| Add LI menu | Allow "tabs" to be placed in drop-down menus (can be nested). Requires some CSS customisations |
| warn.js | Gives a prompt to add any template (supposed to be used for warning vandals) |
| Get user name | Gets the username corresponding to the current page |
| MD5 2.2-alpha | Calculates the RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message Digest of a string. Supports UTF-8 |
| gui.htmlEdit | A WYSIWYG HTML editing control. See documentation |
| edit.multiReplace | Class to simplify the replacement of several different regular expressions, each with its own substitution. See documentation |
| morebits.js | A collection of functions/code mostly used by TW |
[edit] Stylesheets
CSS code in this section is added slightly differently to javascript code. The code can be imported by adding {{subst:css|Page_name}} to your monobook.js, or the code can be copied and pasted to your monobook.css if you do not wish to recieve updates to the code when it is improved.
| Name and link | Purpose | Compatible Skins |
|---|---|---|
| nonewmessages | Remove the "You have new messages" bar. | Monobook; others unconfirmed |
| externals | Replaces the external link icon with the corresponding favicon (works for some links) |
[edit] Incomplete things
- Show recent comments
- meta:Help:User style/floating quickbar could be made into a self-contained script. Might be slower that way, though. — Omegatron 21:29, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Not necessarily; you could simply put the scrollbars on the content area instead of on the whole window. The real problem is that often you have to scroll down to see the rest of the the left pane. So it would need it's own scrollbar or a similar solution. Shinobu 13:07, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
