Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts cleanup
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.
Vector compatible
