This page lists Wikipedia-specific Greasemonkey user scripts, as well as generic user scripts that Wikipedians may find useful.

Editing

  • wikEd, a full-featured Wikipedia-integrated text editor that adds enhanced text processing functions to edit pages. wikEd works on all MediaWiki installations.

Accessibility

History

Language and Translation

  • Wikipedia Bilingual - displays a Wikipedia article in 2 of the languages in which it is available, side by side (for example, Russian and Spanish). Also available as a Firefox extension.

Typography

  • SmartQuotes - converts typewriter quotation marks to “smart” quotes, hyphens to en dashes, double hyphens to em dashes, and triple periods to ellipses.
  • DumbQuotes - does the opposite of SmartQuotes.
  • Wikepedia Easy Read - very clean, big letter article layout without disturbing elements. You need a Wikipedia search plugin for your browser if you still want to search through Wikipedia.

Misc

  • Wikipedia Inline Article Viewer - Adds an icon after internal article links on Wikipedia pages which, when clicked, opens the article inline in a DHTML frame.
  • Add "purge cache" button
  • FilterWatchlist enables you to remove items from your watch list display
  • Deredirectification expands WP:* shortcuts on hover.
  • CSDHelper makes it easy for administrators to leave useful WP:CSD criteria when deleting articles.
  • Amalgam crosslinks Wikipedia with 9 other online encyclopedias (6 English, 3 German).
  • Wikimedia secure links fixes links to Wikimedia websites to use the secure HTTPS interface.
  • Wikipedia Rewrite URLs for Redirects changes the URL of a redirected article to the article it was redirected to. For example, going to The Bible lands you on Bible, but the URL, without this script, would still reflect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bible, not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible.
  • Wikipedia Content Menu extends the usability of wikipedia by adding a floating menu always on the top left of wikipedia pages with links to each section of the page.
