Commons:User scripts

MediaWiki: 1.46.0-wmf.3 (880eded)
jQuery: 3.6.0 / UI: 1.12.1

Hi, interested in scripting? We need help, so do not hesitate to ask what you can do. We recommend to start testing in your user common.js. New users see basic instructions.

We have a JavaScript styleguide, but it is a guide, not a policy. Nevertheless, consider reading the MediaWiki JavaScript coding conventions.

A list of currently available scripts can be found in Category:User scripts.

To-do

Clarify the copyright situation of user-scripts.
Standardize scripts' i18n methods → Gadgets 2.0 (mw.msg; example; explanation)
Search & Detecting security vulnerable
(urgent) Fix script affected by changes in the default continuation

To create

These are just suggestions. Feel free to comment in the talk-section.

A userscript allowing users to click on an "update from online source" button on .tab pages. It should replace the data with new data from its stated online source. For example from an online .csv or .xlx file, or from a JSON rest-API at well-known statistical sites. Tomastvivlaren (talk) 23:50, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
