Wikipedia:User scripts/List
User scripts are powerful customisations, authored by the community, that allow registered Wikipedians to change Wikipedia's interface beyond the options available in preferences. This is a list of available scripts, with a description and a button to install them. User scripts are written in JavaScript.
- Many of the most popular scripts become gadgets, and are removed from this page. You can enable them via Preferences – Gadgets. You should check there first for any tool you might be looking for, since gadgets have been widely tested and proven useful and reliable.
- Most scripts are designed and tested primarily with the Vector 2022 skin, Wikipedia's default.
How to install user scripts:
- Check the checkbox at Preferences → Gadgets → Advanced →
Install scripts without having to manually edit JavaScript files (documentation) and click Save. - Come back to this page.
- Click "Install" after each script name to install the script. Some scripts may require additional steps, so be sure to visit the documentation if any.
Alternatively, you may temporarily view this page with script-installer enabled.
How to add new scripts to this list | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Use {{user script table row}}. Include at least the code page path and a short description. Example: | |||
{{user script table row
|name=My script
|code=User:Me/MyJSpage.js
|doc=User:Me/MyJSdocumentationPage
|desc=This script does something useful.
}}
| |||
{{user script table row
|doc=User:Foo/Bar
|desc=Does stuff.
}}
