This page lists all the available Javascript applets available for use on UESPWiki.
(Note: These pages are protected to prevent tampering. For experimental modifications, please save the applet in your User space. If you have an application that you would like to add, please ask an administrator to protect the page before listing it here.)
InstructionsEdit
To try out a Javascript applet for yourself, simply go to your javascript page and add mw.loader.load( '/w/index.php?title=UESPWiki:Javascript/Page.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' ); on a new line. If the script also has a stylesheet (.css file), you have to add mw.loader.load( '/w/index.php?title=UESPWiki:Javascript/Page.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css', 'text/css' ); to your javascript page.
For example, if you want to use Add Purge and Reorder Categories, your Common.js file would look like this:
mw.loader.load( '/w/index.php?title=UESPWiki:Javascript/addpurge.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' ); mw.loader.load( '/w/index.php?title=UESPWiki:Javascript/reorderCategories.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' ); mw.loader.load( '/w/index.php?title=UESPWiki:Javascript/reorderCategories.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css', 'text/css' );
An extensive "how to" description, intended for Wikipedia use but quite usable at UESPWiki, can be found here. Conversion information for older code can be found here.
Listing of Javascript AppletsEdit
In the table below, you will find the UESPWiki Page to link to in your Common.js file as well as the Home Page of the original script. Please note that modifications may have been made to the script to get it to work on UESPWiki — please do not update a script from its home site without confirming that it works here!
Some scripts are also available from the Gadgets tab of your Preferences link.
| Name | Gadget | UESPWiki Page(s) | Home Page | Description |
