Scripts borrowed and stolen

I use various user scripts written by other people. See the notes in the page covering my common.js

Loading user scripts

Y Template {{Lusc}} = {{Load user script}}

This is the current way to load a user script which uses the newer mw.loader.load() function.

• MediaWiki ResourceLoader:
  • Migration guide re Iusc vs. Lusc
  • importScript migration guide
  • mw.loader.load
• MediaWiki core documentation:
  • mw.loader mw.loader
  • mw.loader-method-using load dependencies

Also Y {{Js}} — uses the full URL, so it can load scripts from another wiki

Installing user scripts

Y Template {{Iusc}} = {{Install user script}}

• This way to import a user script uses the importScript() function
• importScript() is not deprecated — see {{Install user script}}

JavaScript misc

• jQuery API documentation
• JavaScript mw.config — direct access to config variables currently works but is strongly discouraged
• loading config variables — instead, load config variables via mw.config.get( 'wgUserEditCount')
• User:SD0001/Making user scripts load faster — Enable caching for resource loads
• Extension:SyntaxHighlight
