Install, uninstall, enable, and disable user scripts without having to edit your JavaScript files. The user interface was inspired by User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller, but doesn't share any code with it.
In your preferences, go to Preferences → Gadgets. At the bottom of the "Advanced" section, click the "Install scripts without having to manually edit JavaScript files (documentation)" checkbox, then click the "Save" button.
The script has a number of options that allow you to customize its behavior. To set any of the preferences, follow the following pattern (on a new line in your common.js file):
window.OPTION = VALUE;
For example, if I wanted to, by default, install new scripts to my
my monobook.js page instead of
my common.js page, I would set the option scriptInstallerInstallTarget
to "monobook"
by putting the following line somewhere in
my common.js:
window.scriptInstallerInstallTarget = "monobook";
Name | Values (Default in bold) |
Description |
---|---|---|
scriptInstallerInstallTarget
|
"common" , "monobook" , "timeless" , "skin name goes here"
|
What skin should scripts be installed for? (Equivalently, what target page should scripts be installed on?) |
scriptInstallerAutoReload
|
true , false
|
Should the script reload after installing, uninstalling, and other actions? |
People have asked for these, but I don't plan to work on them myself. If anyone would like to try doing it themselves, I would be happy to mentor them through the process:
