Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template employs intricate features of template syntax.

You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. 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, in either , 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.
