Hi, interested in scripting? We need help, so do not hesitate to ask what you can do. We recommend start testing in your user-namespace (new users see basic instructions here).
We have a JavaScript styleguide, but it is a guide, not a policy. Nevertheless, consider reading the MediaWiki manual.
A list of currently available scripts can be found at Category:User scripts.
TO-DO[edit]
- Clarify the copyright situation of user-scripts.
- standardize scripts’ i18n methods → Gadgets 2.0 (mw.msg; example; explanation)
- Search & Detecting security vulnerable
- (urgent) Fix script affected by changes in the default continuation
To create[edit]
These are just suggestions. Feel free to comment in the talk-section.
- A script to get a formatted list of uploads, category-members, …
- A plugin to install scripts loaded with &withJS= – URL parameter to the user’s common or skin.js
- A script-installer which is invokable by a template (URL-params maybe) with a step-by-step wizard (done for gadgets → Template:ActivateGadget)
A global-user-page and settings wizard allowing to create and update the userpage on several wikis.
Done- A slideshow-framework using templates and script like Image Annotator or {{ImageStack}} with customizable caption-boxes, slide-effects, drag&slide, preview thumb-bar, …
- Integrate code for VIC and FPC nomination in MediaWiki:Gadget-QInominator.js.

A script to allow admins to close undeletion requests like closing deletion requests with MediaWiki:Gadget-DelReqHandler.js (maybe inside delreqhandler) Done here by Perhelion- A tool similar to Help:QuickDelete but instead of adding deletion templates you can choose to add {{Opaque}}, {{Convert to SVG}} or {{BadJPEG}}.

Testing[edit]
You can test any script by running it from your console or put the code in a Special:MyPage/test.js and hit “preview”.
- jsfiddle.net – Edit CSS, JavaScript, HTML and run it (big sandbox)
- Testing with different IE versions (Windows) (IETester: For slow machines) (Expression Web SuperPreview: For mordern machines)
- &withJS functionality: Commons has per-page JavaScript functionality, via this code being included in MediaWiki:Common.js. Try a random image file with MediaWiki:VisualFileChange.js.
- Testing the API
Validating and styling[edit]
- Commons:User scripts/reports
- Use MediaWiki:Gadgetprototype.js for new gadgets.
- ESLint – JavaScript Code Quality Tool (former jshint)
- jslint – another JavaScript Code Quality Tool
- jsbeautifier – Indenting and formatting your script – also on Commons:
- Commons Beautifier: escape unsafe characters and beautify the source code
- compactor- or just search yourself
Tools[edit]
