General notices



  • The JavaScript WikiProject is developing a newsletter about userscript development on Wikipedia. To see how to subscribe, visit its talk page.

  • The Portals WikiProject is looking for Lua and JavaScript programmers.

  • A project is under way to add short descriptions to all articles. This is mainly for the benefit of mobile users searching Wikipedia. Help is welcomed – please visit WikiProject Short descriptions to learn more.


  • SearchSuite is a userscript that provides user control over search results: it can strip them down to a single-spaced list, sort, and more. Most of its features are presented as menu item toggles to turn each feature on/off. Each menu-item-controlled feature works on the output of all the others, in both their on and off states. Feedback and feature suggestions welcome.

  • Do you have need for a specialized script that doesn't exist yet, or have an idea for a cool new script or gadget? Post requests and ideas at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests.

How to make your watchlist easier to read

If you use Firefox, there is a user script you can install called Watchlist sorter.


This script sorts your watchlist by namespace, and adds spaces within each entry. This makes the watchlist much easier to read.


To install the script, copy/paste the following line into your your common.js page. This will install the script across all your skins.


importScript("User:The Transhumanist/WatchlistSorter.js");

Note: After saving, you have to Bypass your cache. To do this in Firefox, hold down the ⇧ Shift key while clicking Reload (or press Ctrl+⇧ Shift+R). Or, you may have to {{purge}} the Wikipedia server cache.
