User:Ohconfucius/script/Common Terms

The script was derived from this version of User:Tony1/Common_Terms.js. It has now been bug-checked, and new words added to the library.

Please refer all technical matters (only) to me at my talk page – it's not my fault if someone misuses this script.

Installing the script

1. Assuming that you are now using the new skin... Open/create your vector.js page by clicking on this link.
   • Alternatively, go to your user page and append '/vector.js' to the end of the URL.

     If you are still using the old skin, open/create your monobook.js page, by clicking on this link.

     watchlist this page so you will know when to update your cache for modifications to this script.

     If you make a straight copy of this script, instead of "importing" it, you may not benefit from the enhancements and bug-fixes that are made from time to time.

2. Copy the following command onto your vector.js or monobook.js page:

   importScript('User:Ohconfucius/Common Terms.js');  //[[User:Ohconfucius/Common Terms.js]]

3. Save the page and (re-)load it – refresh the cache by following the instructions at the top of your vector.js or monobook.js page.
4. Bookmark the script page. This will be your cue to to purge the cache on your browser for any updates to take effect.

Disclaimer

Whilst the terms unlinked by this script include many in the top 100 most-linked wikipedia articles, and may remove most serious cases of overlinking in the judgement of the author, removal of some or other of these links may not be appropriate in 100 percent of cases. Therefore, users are expected to exercise careful judgement in the context of each article in which they run this script. Use at your own risk and make sure you check the edit changes before you save.
