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. (last updated Jan, 2013)
  • CSDHelper makes it easy for administrators to leave useful WP:CSD criteria when deleting articles. (last updated April, 2007‎)
  • 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. ( last updated Jul, 2007 how to fix it)

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.
  • Amalgam crosslinks Wikipedia with 9 other online encyclopedias (6 English, 3 German).
  • wikipedia rearrange other languages - Allows you to hide languages you don't know and sort those you do.

Typography

  • SmartQuotes - converts typewriter quotation marks to “smart” quotes, hyphens to en dashes, double hyphens to em dashes, and triple periods to ellipses. (last updated Dec, 2005)
  • 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. (last updated April, 2008)

Misc

  • Wikimedia secure links fixes links to Wikimedia websites to use the secure HTTPS interface. (last updated May, 2008)
  • 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. (last updated Oct, 2009‎)
  • Google search - Adds links to the tools menu to do a Google search for the article title. (last updated Aug, 2009)
