To be or not to be?

Doesn't Userscript deserve its own page? Userscript is/can/should be the generic term, instead of "Greasemonkey Script". Such script functionality is now broader than Greasemonkey, http://userscripts.org/ is the largest repository of scripts, and the term is even used on this site on List of augmented browsing software.

I agree. Userscripts are in widespread use, and "userscript" is a common term amongst computer users, including Firefox users (via Greasemonkey), WikiMedia users (MediaWiki supports userscripts), etc. Writing userscripts is one of the main uses of JavaScript. Not having an article on this would be an unfortunate oversight. The Transhumanist 02:19, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
