For an overview of tools available to work with Wikimedia Commons, seeCommons:Tools. Hi, interested in scripting? We need help, so do not hesitate to ask what you can do. We recommend to start testing inyour user common.js. New users seebasic instructions.
We have aJavaScript styleguide, but it is a guide, not a policy. Nevertheless, consider reading theMediaWiki JavaScript coding conventions.
