We will be writing a user script by modifying your common.js. For the purpose of this tutorial, we will write a simple version of the Quick wikify module, which adds the {{Wikify}} maintenance template to the top of an article when you click a link called "Wikify" in the "More" menu.
Any script that does nothing other than add a link to a page to a menu, panel or toolbar belongs to § Shortcuts. Any script that makes an edit to a page (i.e. increases the user's contributions) or changes the appearance or behavior of the edit form (action=edit/submit) belongs to § Editing.
In order to install a user script for your Wikipedia account, add the following line to Special:MyPage/common.js or Special:MyPage/skin.js: {{subst:iusc|script_path}} Replace script_path with the full .js page name of the user script to be installed. The template must be substituted (subst:), or else it won't work. Bypass your cache after ...
This directive executes a program, script, or shell command on the server. The cmd parameter specifies a server-side command; the cgi parameter specifies the path to a CGI script. The PATH_INFO and QUERY_STRING of the current SSI script will be passed to the CGI script, as a result "exec cgi" should be used instead of "include virtual ...
An early use of CGI scripts was to process forms. In the beginning of HTML, HTML forms typically had an "action" attribute and a button designated as the "submit" button. When the submit button is pushed the URI specified in the "action" attribute would be sent to the server with the data from the form sent as a query string.
Scripts are named somename.user.js, and Greasemonkey offers to install any such script when a URL ending in that suffix is requested. Greasemonkey scripts contain metadata which specifies the name of the script, a description, resources required by the script, a namespace URL used to differentiate identically named scripts, and URL patterns for ...
The main purpose of a userscript manager is to execute scripts on webpages as they are loaded. The most common operations performed by a userscript manager include downloading, creating, installing, organizing, deleting and editing scripts, as well as modifying script permissions (e.g. website exceptions).
This page will collect various techniques for achieving common tasks needed in writing user scripts. Discussion about limitations, relative portability, and speed of the various alternatives is strongly encouraged. There is a lot of duplication and non-optimal efforts out there, and this will hopefully encourage us to write tighter, more ...
