This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Equazcion (talk | contribs) at 08:15, 27 April 2012 (→Categories: + User:Equazcion/CatListMainTalkLinks). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Wikipedia's current list of user scripts is in bad shape, in that it is disorganized and contains many non-working or obsolete entries. The list below will replace the current list on 1 May 2012.

Add scripts here that are confirmed working and relevant.

For the sake of easy editing, scripts should be listed as *[link] - [description].

  • 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

Multifunction tools

Several different types of tools in one script.

  • Navigation Popups - Adds robust page previews and other tools, accessible via popups that display when rolling over links. Enable via Preferences → Gadgets → Navigation Popups
  • Twinkle - Easy tagging, delete nomination, user welcoming/notifications, vandalism reverts/warnings/reports, and more. Enable via Preferences → Gadgets → Twinkle

Site-wide appearance

For readers

Scripts that offer superficial site-wide changes.

For editors

Scripts that offer superficial site-wide changes primarily useful to those who edit actively, or participate in discussions.

  • Menu Tabs Toggle - Toggle between drop down menus and tabs in Vector. Preferences → Gadgets → Enable toggling between tabs and dropdown menus in the Vector skin.
  • SearchNamespace - Adds a pulldown menu next to the quick search bar allowing selection of namespace to search in.
  • New Pages - Adds a link in the toolbox to patrol new pages.
  • Link Classifier - Colorize links on the page to indicate redirects, broken redirects, disambiguation pages, and XfDs.
  • Mark Blocked - Marks blocked users in all listings and signatures (faded and struck-out username).
  • Admin Rights - Highlights administrators in all listings and signatures.
  • 6 Tabs Vector - Shows edit and history tabs for both main and talk pages while viewing either one.
  • Watchlist Notifier - Notification of changes to watched pages. Changes are checked on each page load, with notifications appearing at the top of the page under its title.
  • Duplinks - Highlights links that occur more than once in an article (separate for lead and body).
  • Autolink - Makes plaintext [[wikilinks]], {{transclusions}}, and URLs clickable (for instance in .js pages, diff pages, history, etc).
  • Menu To Tabs - Same as Dropdown To Tabs, but uses jQuery.
  • WikiTrust - Click on text in an article to get information about who added that text, and when. Uses data from the WikiTrust project.
  • No Edit Sandbox - Changes the "My sandbox" link to a regular page link, instead of loading the sandbox's edit page by default.
  • Sidebar History Tools - Brings the History page's Toolserver links, plus the Page logs link (all at the top of History pages) to the sidebar, so you don't need to navigate to the History page first to see them.
  • Prose Size - Adds a link to the sidebar's toolbox to view various page size statistics.

Editing

  • wikEd - Provides a comprehensive set of tools, including syntax highlighting, when editing a page. Enable through Preferences → Gadgets → wikEd.
  • HotCat - Quick Ajax category editing. Enable through Preferences → Gadgets → HotCat.

  • Bracket Match - Check matching for template and variable brackets.
  • AutoEd - Cleanup various problems with markup, headlines, templates, and ISBNs.
  • Advisor - Flags possible issues with wikitext while editing a page.
  • MOSNUM Dates - Cleanup dates per WP:MOSNUM.

  • Autocomplete - Offers a popup suggestions menu whenever you start typing a link or template in the main edit box.
  • Split Preview - Shows editing previews beside the edit box instead of above or below.
  • Preview: Template Last Modified - When previewing changes, sorts list of called templates by date last modified and displays the latest edit summary for each; useful for debugging complex templates.

  • Ajax Preview - Adds a button to the edit form to preview the current section, with a references section included.

Vandalism

Diffs

Discussions

User pages

Listings

Watchlist

  • Smart Watchlist - Watchlist customization and organization.
  • Watchlist Links - Adds some useful links to your Watchlist.
  • Catwatch - Shows the addition of pages to specified categories on your watchlist.
  • Interwiki Watchlist - adds interwiki watchlists to your watchlist; supports only a few popular wikis.

History

  • ActiveWatchers - Adds a link to History pages, next to the "Number of watchers" link, to show the number of active users watching the page ("active" defined as users who have logged in within the last 30 days).
  • LiveDiffLink - Show a live-updated diff link at the top of History pages while you select revisions, so you don't need to actually load the diff to get a diff link.

Categories

Logs

Contributions

  • Hide Top Contribs - Does the opposite of the "Only show edits that are latest revisions" checkbox. (There is also an it.wikipedia.org-specific version, which has some "special" problems with some skins, but it still displays somewhere!)

Recent Changes

WikiProject-specific

Meta-scripts

  • User script sandbox - Allows you to carry out experiments with user JS and CSS code locally – that is, without saving it to your user JS/CSS page first. Does not work in Internet Explorer before version 8.

Non-Vector only

Editing

  • Format Citations - adds one tab to harmonize whitespace in citation templates, and another to convert them to the vertical format. Only tested in the modern skin.

Discussions

  • Edit Count - Adds a quick link in the toolbar for checking one's edit count. (Especially for those who have editcountitis!)
  • Contribs Tab - Adds a contributions tab on user and user talk pages.

Vandalism

  • RC Patroller - Adds a porlet to the sidebar that shows a regularly updated list of recent changes

Admin-only

  • EasyBlock - Adds a "block" tab to user pages, contribs pages, and diff pages. Comes with built-in block rationales and expiry times, as well as a "custom block" option. This script will not work if you are not an administrator.

Special Pages

  • WhatLinksHere enhancement - Adds tabs to WhatLinksHere pages which allow a user to filter the list of links. Designed years ago with disambiguation in mind, and duplicates many features since added to the standard WLH page. Quick way to get counts of links by type.
