This is a portal about user scripts. The main purpose of this page is to list all of the useful userscripts that exist. Feel free to add a new userscript.

If you want to request a userscript or discuss a development-related stuff or just have an idea refer to here.

Template:expandable

• script titles (source) – Beautifies entry and talk page headers by adding script classes to them. This makes them display in more appropriate fonts and sometimes fixes jumbling of right-to-left characters. Buggy.
• s to search (source) – Focuses the search input on pressing 's'.
• gadgets definition (source) – Beautifies MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition and adds links to the relevant code and gadget message pages.
• Custom Languages (source) – Displays only the language(s) that the user is interested in. Auto collapses all languages. The user can toggle any language(s) and the script remembers. Can't be use together with TabbedLanguages.

Template:expandable

• nymReferer (source) - adds several parameters to redlinks so that after clicking it wikitext will be automatically filled with some initial text
• Tbot (greenify) (source) - changes redlinks in translation tables to greenlinks enabling accelerated creation
• Add auto cat (source) - On redlinked category pages, adds two links below the header that allow you to add {{auto cat}} and save the page, or add it and preview.

Scripts that add to or refine editors' toolsets.

Template:expandable

• expandASADRS (source) - helps you expand several headers (particularly "Alternative forms", "Synonyms", "Antonyms", "Derived terms", "Related terms", "See also").
• Edittols character names (source) – adds tooltips showing the names of the non-ASCII characters in the Edittools box below the editing area

Template:expandable

• AddAudio (source) - facilitates recording and adding audio. As of yet works in Firefox only
• AjaxEdit (source) - Inline editing of a section without the need to reload the whole page. Also does live previewing as you type.
• Template parameters wizard (source) – Helps fill parameters of templates.
• Autocomplete (source) – Offers a popup suggestions menu whenever you start typing a link or template in the main edit box.
• autocompleter (source) – Tab-based, context-sensitive autocompletion of usernames, page titles, and more, directly in the edit window

Template:expandable

• ajaxPreview (source) – Allows editing preview and changes without page reloading.

  An alternative is to turn on "Use live preview" option in Preferences, but it loads whole HTML so no performance gain is achieved. Also while previewing a page with Use live preview option, it won't show show/hide buttons in tables.

• UniversalTransclusionPreviews (source) – Preview transclusions from any namespace. No longer works.
• templatePreview (source) – Saves the name of the last page that you previewed using the "Preview page with this template" feature. Requires localStorage; sends an error message to the console if localStorage is not available in your browser.

Template:expandable

• Minor edits (source) – Cleanup various problems with markup, headlines, templates. Similar to Wikipedia's AutoEd (source).

• Strip it down. We only need subset of it.

• AutoWikiBrowser script (source) - Script with similar functionality to the downloadable AutoWikiBrowser, but loaded within the web browser.

• history (source) - Remembers visited entries. Language-learners can use it as a flashcard system.
• search lang (source) – Search Wiktionary languages from the toolbox in the sidebar.
• ledokol (source) – 1) Language title headers are supplied with language codes and links to language description, 2) Language-marked words ({{m}}, {{l}}) can display tooltip with link to references if hovered, 3) Language bibliography page (Appendix:Church Slavonic bibliography) can replace marked queries (orange color) by known word (hash in address or search input at screen bottom). Language codes are stored in browser local storage.

new LanguageUtilsAsync().GetWiktionaryCodeByCanonicalName("Georgian").then(function(langcode){
    //do something with langcode
});

new LanguageUtilsAsync().GetCanonicalNameByWiktionaryCode("ka").then(function(langname){
    //do something with langname. Here it is "Georgian"
});

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.
