Template:Userscript

This template is used to create userscript listings, primarily for use at Wikipedia:User scripts, but it can be used on any page.

Usage

{{userscript |code= [.js address] |name= [script name] |doc= [documentation page address] }}

At least |code= -or- |doc= is required. The template will attempt to determine defaults for any information not entered.

  • Check the accuracy of the links after placing this template! If any defaults are incorrect for your script, enter the necessary parameters explicitly.
  • If you end up leaving the template with no "(source)" link produced, make sure your documentation page includes complete installation instructions, along with any necessary code page addresses.
  • You can make up any name for the |name parameter. It is just for display purposes.
Default logic details
  • The template will add .js to the documentation page name to get a default code page, or remove .js from the code page name to get a default documentation page.
    • Entering |code=User:TheDJ/Sharebox.js will look for a page named User:TheDJ/Sharebox, and if found, will be linked as the documentation page.
    • Entering |doc=User:TheDJ/Sharebox will look for a page named User:TheDJ/Sharebox.js, and if found, will be linked as the code page.
  • If the default pages don't actually exist, they won't be linked (so defaults shouldn't produce red links).
  • If no name is entered, a default name will be produced from the code or doc page name.

Additional parameters

  • This template enables an automatic installation link for editors who use automatic installer scripts like User:Enterprisey/script-installer or User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller. If you have reason to disable automatic installation for a particular script (e.g. because it requires more than just the usual importScript line), add the following parameter: |noautoinstall=yes.
  • To suppress the creation of a footnote with installation instructions, set |noref=yes.
