:''This is the documentation page for the [[User:Naypta/ScriptInstaller.js|ScriptInstaller.js]] user script.''
'''Script Installer''' provides simple automatic installs and uninstalls of Wikipedia customizations ([[Wikipedia:User scripts|user scripts]]) directly from the [[Wikipedia:User scripts/List|script listing page]], each with just a single click.

I forked {{u|Equazcion}}'s ScriptInstaller script because it had stopped working as of May 2020, due to the changes made to the way that the MediaWiki API operates.

The forked version works exactly the same as [[User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller|Equazcion's original did]], it's just fixed - there are no other differences (yet!)

I'm happy to take feature requests on {{Talk|2=this talk page}}.

== Usage ==
*'''[[Special:UserLogin|Log in]]''' or '''[[Special:UserLogin/signup|register]]'''.
*'''Copy''' the line below, '''<span class="plainlinks" title="Click here to edit your Common.js file, where scripts are stored.">[{{fullurl:Special:MyPage/common.js|action=edit}} click here]</span>''', '''paste''' the line at the bottom, and hit '''save'''.
<center style="margin:5px 0"><code><nowiki>importScript('User:Naypta/ScriptInstaller.js'); // Backlink: [[User:Naypta/ScriptInstaller.js]]</nowiki></code></center>
*Press {{key press|Ctrl}} {{key press|F5}}
*Head to '''[[Wikipedia:User scripts/List]]'''.
*'''That's it!''' Start clicking install links =]</div>

=== Automated installations ===
*Click the "Install" link next to a script's name in order to install it. Simple.
*After doing that once, a list of your installed scripts displays at the top of the page (see image, up there [[File:Arrow northeast.svg|12px]] ).

=== Automated un-installations ===
*Each installed script listed has its own "Uninstall" link. Click it to uninstall. Again, simple.
*Only scripts that were installed using ScriptInstaller will show up in this list, and only those can be uninstalled via this interface.
