Wikipedia's current list of user scripts is in bad shape, in that it is disorganized and contains many non-working or obsolete entries. It is therefore set to be deprecated, and the list below is set to replace it.

Add scripts here that are confirmed working and relevant. Non-working scripts should be listed here.

For the sake of easy editing, scripts should be listed as *[link] - [description]. Consensus can be established for the actual display format when the list approaches completion.

If adding to the Vector compatible section, make sure scripts are confirmed working with the Vector skin.
Scripts that don't work with the Vector skin but do work with other skins belong in the Non-Vector only section.
Where possible, link to a script's documentation page rather than the actual .js page.

Note that the old list will be preserved and linked to as a more exhaustive list of existing scripts.
