Template:Userscript/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Userscript.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template doc page is closely interconnected with other templates or pages.

This template may:

Be closely connected to other templates, subtemplates, or modules
Have dependencies on config files or data files
Have dynamic documentation
Or otherwise be closely interconnected with other pages

You are encouraged to familiarize yourself with its setup, and with related files. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages.

You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, either in , the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here.

This template is used to create userscript listings, primarily for use at Wikipedia:User scripts, but it can be used on any page.

Usage

{{userscript |code= [.js address] |name= [script name] |doc= [documentation page address] }}

At least |code= -or- |doc= is required. The template will attempt to determine defaults for any information not entered.

Check the accuracy of the links after placing this template! If any defaults are incorrect for your script, enter the necessary parameters explicitly.
If you end up leaving the template with no "(source)" link produced, make sure your documentation page includes complete installation instructions, along with any necessary code page addresses.
You can make up any name for the |name parameter. It is just for display purposes.

Default logic details

The template will add .js to the documentation page name to get a default code page, or remove .js from the code page name to get a default documentation page.
- Entering |code=User:TheDJ/Sharebox.js will look for a page named User:TheDJ/Sharebox, and if found, will be linked as the documentation page.
- Entering |doc=User:TheDJ/Sharebox will look for a page named User:TheDJ/Sharebox.js, and if found, will be linked as the code page.
If the default pages don't actually exist, they won't be linked (so defaults shouldn't produce red links).
If no name is entered, a default name will be produced from the code or doc page name.

Additional parameters

This template enables an automatic installation link for editors who use automatic installer scripts like User:Enterprisey/script-installer or User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller. If you have reason to disable automatic installation for a particular script (e.g. because it requires more than just the usual importScript line), add the following parameter: |noautoinstall=yes.
To suppress the creation of a footnote with installation instructions, set |noref=yes.
