Install, uninstall, enable, and disableuser scripts without having to edit your JavaScript files. The user interface was inspired byUser:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller, but doesn't share any code with it.

In your preferences, go toPreferences →Gadgets. At the bottom of the "Advanced" section, click the "Install scripts without having to manually edit JavaScript files (documentation)" checkbox, then click the "Save" button.

• If you go to a user script page (likeUser:Enterprisey/reply-link.js), there will now be an "Install" link at the top. Clicking it will install the script and reload the page. Certain pages may have this option disabled.
• Also on user script pages, there will be a "Manage user scripts" option at the top, which will show you a list of all of your user scripts, with options to uninstall (i.e. remove entirely) or disable ("comment out" the user script, without permanently removing it; enable will undo this).
• WP:US/L and other pages that use{{userscript}} will now show script links with a little "Install" link after them.

The script has a number of options that allow you to customize its behavior. To set any of the preferences, add the following pattern (on a new line inyour common.js file):

window.OPTION=VALUE;

For example, if I wanted to, by default, install new scripts to mymy monobook.js page instead ofmy common.js page, I would set the optionscriptInstallerInstallTarget to"monobook" by putting the following line somewhere inmy common.js:

window.scriptInstallerInstallTarget="monobook";

People have asked for these, but I don't plan to work on them myself. If anyone would like to try doing it themselves, I would be happy to mentor them through the process:

• Support for global scripts installed at Meta
• Support for theUser:MusikAnimal/scriptManager format
• Bulk actions, especially bulk deletion
