List of user scripts
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 page provides a list of available scripts and instructions on installing them. User scripts are written in JavaScript.
- Click here to skip directly to the script list.
- Many of the most popular scripts become gadgets, and are subsequently removed from this page. You can enable them via Preferences – Gadgets. It is recommended that you 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 skin, Wikipedia's current default.
How to install user scripts:
- Check the checkbox at Preferences → Gadgets → Advanced →
 ⧼Gadget-script-installer⧽ 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 use this link to temporarily view this page with script-installer enabled.
Manual install instructions |
|---|
- First, make sure you are registered and logged in. Only logged-in users can install scripts.
- Edit your common.js file. Alternatively, you may use your skin.js to work only your current skin.
- Add the following line:
{{subst:Lusc|script_path}} – where "script_path" is the full name of the .js page that opens when a script's "(source)" link is clicked.
- For example, to install the Sharebox script, add the following line:
{{subst:Lusc|User:TheDJ/sharebox.js}}
- For scripts not located on this wiki, use:
mw.loader.load('//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=script.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');
- Consider adding a backlink by adding
//[[script_path]] to the end of the line, which aids script usage statistics.
- Be sure to use
{{subst:Lusc|...}} – {{Load user script}}. Do not use {{subst:Iusc|...}} – {{Install user script}}.
- Save the page and bypass your cache to make sure the changes take effect.

How to add new scripts to this list |
|---|
| {{user script table row
|name=My script
|code=User:Me/MyJSpage.js
|doc=User:Me/MyJSdocumentationPage
|desc=This script does something useful.
}}
|
- Name defaults to the code page's name, without its path or ".js".
- If a documentation page exists matching your .js page name, it will be linked automatically, without the need for a doc parameter. So, if your script is at User:Foo/Bar.js with a documentation page at User:Foo/Bar, and the script is called Bar, just write:
{{user script table row
|doc=User:Foo/Bar
|desc=Does stuff.
}}
