FileScripts is a collection of new and existing user scripts that allow you to speed up editing of image files and related pages; right now all of its functions relate to moving images to Wikimedia Commons, but additional functionality is planned (although I don't know when I'll get a chance to add them!) Please note that this script is still new, so there may still be bugs and not all of its final functionality has been implemented. Additionally, as the script is being worked on, errors may be introduced which cause it (and possibly other user scripts which you are using) to stop functioning for a short time, although this should usually be fixed within a few minutes.
This script includes a set of "original" user scripts, which provide the functionality described in "use", below. In addition, the #Installation section contains links to a pair of related scripts which you may find useful to use in conjunction with FileScripts.
When FileScripts is installed (see #Installation), you should see new links in the toolbox on file description pages, which, including easy ways of moving images to Commons and tagging them as such. "Old revs deleted" is primarily useful for administrators after deleting images in Category:Rescaled fairuse images more than 7 days old. More functions will be added over time.
Category pages and articles also have an additional "Free image search" link in the toolbox. This allows you to search Google Images for images with licenses compatible with Wikipedia. This function is still underconstruction and is not yet fully complete, although it is functional.
There will also be one additional tab on user talk pages, "notify about commons". Clicking this tab will add {{ un-commons}} to the page, notifying the user that they should upload free images to Commons rather than Wikipedia.
To install FileScripts for your own use, simply add the following to your monobook.js page (if you're using a non-standard skin, you probably know what to do).
importScript('User:Drilnoth/filescripts.js'); //See [[User:Drilnoth/filescripts.js/doc]] for details
After adding this, just purge your cache and the script should begin working.
There are a number of other scripts which can also be useful when editing images: FurMe adds fair-use rationales and image tags, QuickImgDelete helps with deletion processes, and Twinkle's TwinkleImage functionality assists with additional image tagging. To install all of these, add the following to your monobook. Note that FurMe and Twinkle may not work in all browsers (notably not in Internet Explorer).
importScript('User:AzaToth/morebits.js'); //This library is required for FurMe and Twinkle to work!
importScript('User:AzaToth/twinkleimage.js');
importScript('User:AWeenieMan/furme.js');
importScript('User:Howcheng/quickimgdelete.js');
If you have found a bug: Please leave a descriptive entry here and a note on my talk page about the issue. Thanks!
