Commons:User Scripts
From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository
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.
We have a styleguide. But it is a guide, not a policy. Nevertheless, consider reading the MediaWiki manual.

[edit] TO DO
- Clarify the copyright situation of user-scripts.
- standardize scripts' i18n methods → Gadgets 2.0 (mw.msg; example; explanation)
- Search & Detecting security vulnerable
[edit] To create
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
- A rename-link for files for registred users not being admins, filemovers. First display the policy, then a "select-reasons" with a few traps. If a trap is triggered, set a cookie to deactivate.
- A global-user-page and settings wizard allowing to create and update the userpage on several wikis.
- A notification-script using JSONP to notify uploaders in their home-wiki if they request so and you "the tagger" is logged in there.
- A slideshow-framework using templates and script like Image Annotator or {{ImageStack}} with customizable caption-boxes, slide-effects, drag&slide, preview thumb-bar, ...
- A script to close undeletion requests like closing deletion requests with MediaWiki:Gadget-DelReqHandler.js (maybe inside delreqhandler)

[edit] Testing
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 imagefile with MediaWiki:VisualFileChange.js.
[edit] Validating and styling
- Use MediaWiki:Gadgetprototype.js for new gadgets.
- jslint - JavaScript Code Quality Tool
- jshint - another JavaScript Code Quality Tool
- jsbeautifier - Indenting and formatting your script
- compactor- or just search yourself
