Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of scripts for WikiProject User scripts. See also Techniques for a list of commonly used techniques.
Scripts can build upon each other, so libraries, below, are a collection of scripts that can be used by other scripts. In some cases, specific libraries are required by other scripts below. Remember to put the libraries before the code that requires them.

[edit] Installing scripts in your session
There are two ways to get these scripts into your browser sessions: you either copy the content into your own javascript page, or (in some cases) you can import the functions from the pages into your javascript page.
[edit] Importing
To import one of the scripts below, add the following line to your monobook.js:
importScript('Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/<script>');
For example:
importScript('Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Show last diff');
However, this will work only if the relevant script file is entirely valid Javascript, i.e. all non-Javascript content, such as explanatory text and wiki markup, is protected by Javascript comment delimeters ('/*' and '*/'). Some of the scripts listed on this page satisfy this requirement, but others do not.
If you import a file which is not valid Javascript, nothing serious will happen, but your Javascript, and any Javascript you have below that, will not work. If your browser is set to inform you about Javascript errors, you will see these errors; otherwise you will see nothing except that the scripts you have tried to add do not work.
Alternatively, you can add a script to your monobook.js by placing {{subst:js|name_of_script.js}} at the bottom, and saving the page. This method also only works on scripts that are entirely valid Javascript.
After installing a script, you will need to bypass your cache.
[edit] Copying
If you cannot get a script to work by importing it, you can copy the Javascript code from it directly into your script page. You will thereafter have your own copy of the script, and will not be updated automatically; you must do it yourself.

[edit] Libraries
These functions can be included directly in a script but don't do anything unless called by some other code. The functions marked as deprecated have been rendered obsolete by new features added to MediaWiki, and only exist now as wrappers for compatibility with existing code.

[edit] Incomplete things
- Show recent comments
- meta:Help:User style/floating quickbar could be made into a self-contained script. Might be slower that way, though. — Omegatron 21:29, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Not necessarily; you could simply put the scrollbars on the content area instead of on the whole window. The real problem is that often you have to scroll down to see the rest of the the left pane. So it would need it's own scrollbar or a similar solution. Shinobu 13:07, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- WikiMiniAtlas adds draggable maps with clickable wikilinks to geocoded articles. Note that this is not GoogleMaps, but home-brew javascript. --Dschwen 12:18, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
