User:Andrewds1021/JS Installation

Copy the script and maintain your own copy. Note that while any user may (help page) the page, only local admins can import pages. Furthermore, local admins are not permitted to import pages into the MediaWiki namespace.

Installing this script for all users on a particular wiki (ie. wiki-wide) requires that the user performing the installation have sysop (ie. local administrator) privileges. Furthermore, the JS review process must be enabled. If the review process is not yet enabled, a request to enable it can be sent to staff using this form. If installing for personal use, personal JS must be enabled in order for the script to run. Personal JS can be enabled at Special:Preferences (under the section "Advanced display options").

When installing wiki-wide, this should go in either  or   on the wiki for which the script is being installed. Currently, there is no difference between those two pages. Alternatively, the code can be copied to a separate JS page in the MediaWiki namespace and the new page can be included in MediaWiki:ImportJS. When installing for personal use on a particular wiki, this should go in either  or   on the wiki for which the script is being installed. There is currently no significant difference between those two pages. Be sure to replace  with the actual username of the user for which the script is being installed. For example, if installing for yourself, you might place the import in. If installing for personal use on all wikis, this should go in your global JS.

Note: There are additional ways to import the script directly from the original copy. However, this is not recommended/allowed as there is nothing to protect the original copy from vandalism.
