Abandoned scripts

Is there any process or for taking over as maintainer for an abandoned script? – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 22:48, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, but anyone can fork them. Nardog (talk) 07:47, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This IPA reading script doesn't work anymore. The icon displays but no voice emerges. Kailash29792 (talk) 03:54, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated archival scripts

Section Wikipedia:One click archiving § No longer recommended discourages the usage of several outdated archival user scripts. Should these scripts be removed from Wikipedia:User scripts/List? —⁠andrybak (talk) 16:18, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Go for it. Nardog (talk) 03:12, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Remove all of them FaviFake (talk) 17:10, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done in Special:Diff/1323591433. —⁠andrybak (talk) 18:07, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Editing script descriptions

@GhostInTheMachine, what do you mean by not yours to change? Scripts can be added to this list by any user, so I'd assume any user can improve their short description on this page, just as they can improve the script's documentation. Am i missing something? FaviFake (talk) 13:52, 28 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, script authors don't WP:OWN the descriptions. Plus it was a small and reasonable copyedit that did not change the substance of the description. Nardog (talk) 23:40, 28 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
