User Scripts for userscripts.org
This is a list of scripts I've found on us.o that are designed to add features or otherwise improve upon us.o itself. I've felt for a long while that a list like this would come in handy, and when Jesse added this "Guides" feature, I decided to get off my duff and create such a list myself. (I haven't tested any of these scripts, so caveat emptor.)
Scripts are listed in descending order of script number. This isn't exactly "newest first" ordering, because old scripts may have been updated many times since they were first uploaded, but I had to choose some way to keep this list organized, and this was the best I could think of. My original intent was to group similar scripts together, but there's a lot of overlap in functionality, so that would have required listing several scripts more than once.
- US.o script author helper by Mindeye
- Modified version of show new comments and updates - favorites and/or Userscripts.org - show new comments and installs; stores the number of comments and installs for each script listed each time you visit the page listing the scripts you've written, and uses this to add info to this list showing number of installs and comments added since that last time.
- Buttons on Userscript Forums by sdfghjklkjhgfds sdfghjiuytr
- Changes the styling of the "Edit" and "Delete" links on forum pages to make them more prominent.
- Userscript Metadata Update Helper by Firtina
- Provides a preview option on metadata editing pages.
- Userscripts.org Insert Donate Button by JoeSimmons
- Adds an "Add Donate button" link to metadata editing pages which inserts code for soliciting donations. Script must be edited before use to provide the appropriate destination URL (and image URL, if you wish to change it) - else donations intended for you will go to JoeSimmons instead!
- Userscripts : Issues Report [DEPRECATED] by w35l3y
- Stores a record of issues reported regarding your scripts, and uses this info to display the number of issues reported for each of your scripts on each script's main page. Can cause a significant delay the first time it's run while it reviews all available issue reports.
- UserScripts.org - New Script in Dropdown by BlindWanderer
- Adds a link to the "new script" page to the drop down menu on the us.o header.
- Userscripts : Script Version by w35l3y
- Stores the number of fans, comments, and installs shown each time you visit the page for one of your own scripts, and uses this info on the versions page to display an approximation of how many of each pertain to each version. Cannot accurately display information for scripts that existed before you installed this script, and apparently assumes you always upload updates from the same browser and computer.
- Userscripts.org - Face icons, CSS tweaks by khopesh
- Makes style changes to us.o pages, including making links to visited pages display differently than unvisited, and replacing the customized "identicon" images shown for users not registered with Gravatar with "wavatar" faces (another type of pseudo-custom image Gravatar can supply).
- Userscripts.org - Inline Fans List by pwlin
- Changes the "fans" link on script pages to display the list of fans on the same page instead of moving to a separate page.
- monkey avatars by znerp
- Replaces the customized "identicon" images shown for users not registered with Gravatar with the generic monkey image used previously on us.o.
- Userscripts : People Ranking by w35l3y
- Stores the position of user names each time you visit the user list page, and uses this to add a column showing the change in position since that last time. Apparently only useful if you view a sorted version of the list, and use the same sort every time you view it.
- Gravatar - Mouseover to view by Avindra V.G.
- Changes Gravatar images into clickable links, leading to a copy of the same image at Gravatar's largest size (512×512).
- userscripts blog new comment notifier by znerp
- Stores the number of blog entries present each time you visit the main us.o blog page, and uses this to add text to this page showing the number of new entries made since that last time.
- Userscripts.org Tag Fixes and Styles by JoeSimmons
- Makes style changes to us.o pages, mainly regarding how
<pre>,<code>, and<blockquote>tags are presented. (userscripts.org alternate CSS is a similar script that was apparently developed independently.) - userscripts.org alternate CSS by GIJoe
- Makes style changes to us.o pages, mainly regarding how
<pre>,<code>, and<blockquote>tags are presented. (Userscripts.org Tag Fixes and Styles is a similar script that was apparently developed independently.) - Userscripts.org Remove Spam Scripts by JoeSimmons
- Removes scripts from script lists based on keywords. (Because it's your userscripts.org is a similar script that was apparently developed independently.)
- UserScripts comment permalink giver by Avindra V.G.
- Adds bookmarkable links to individual script comments, blog comments, and forum messages. Such links already appear in forum messages (click on the date/time of posting), but this makes the feature more discoverable.
- Userscripts.org Remove JS Confirmations by JoeSimmons
- "Removes the JS confirmations on userscripts.org for things like deleting scripts, comments, and topics." (These warnings exist for a reason; do not use this script unless you know what you're doing.)
- Userscripts : Watch script by w35l3y
- "Tells you the stats of watched scripts since your last access"; apparently combines the private favorites list of userscripts favourites with the "since last time" function of Userscripts.org - show new comments and installs.
- Userscripts Comment Helper [Revived] by Avindra V.G.
- Adds shortcut keys for inserting various HTML tags into text fields.
- Userscripts.org TOC by jerone
- Adds a table of contents to the script description pages, based on any header tags included in the metadata.
- UserScript Finder by Veniamin
- Simplified version of UserScript Finder by jerone (which in turn was based on FindScripts); adds buttons to the bottom right of all Web pages - one to hide the buttons, and the other to search us.o for scripts matching the second level domain name of the Web site you're looking at.
- UserScript Finder by jerone
- Rewrite of FindScripts; adds a keystroke command to search us.o for scripts pertaining to the Web site you're looking at. You must install four other scripts in order for this one to work. (UserScript Finder by Veniamin is a simplified version of this script that was apparently developed independently.)
- UserScripts Totals Data by Avindra V.G.
- Adds totals for number of installs, comments, and fans for all a person's scripts to the page listing scripts by a given user.
- Userscripts Search Pagination by easier_rhino
- "Adds a pagination bar to search pages on userscripts.org, so they look more like the browsing pages."
- Userscripts.org Orange Black Theme by JoeSimmons
- Displays all us.o pages in a dark color scheme.
- Add style buttons to replies on userscripts.org by JoeSimmons
- Adds buttons to the comment/message editing area that surround the selected text with
<pre>,<code>, or<blockquote>tags. - Update source from remote script URL by Johan Sundström
- I'm not sure what the point of this script is; it's apparently intended to auto-fill the script field of the script update page with the current text of the script being edited, but wouldn't a simple page refresh do the same thing? Maybe this script is obsolete, from a time when the site didn't do that on its own?
- Userscripts.org Hide Caution Box by JoeSimmons
- Removes the warning box about installing newly updated scripts on script pages; apparently obsolete now, since I haven't seen that since the last redesign of the site. (Userscripts Notice Re-Style is a similar script that was apparently developed independently.)
- UserScrips.org-remove dancejam ad by Master of Puppets
- Blocks a particular ad this scriptwright apparently found particularly annoying. May be obsolete now; I don't recall ever seeing the ad in question. The scriptwright claims the script was "edited to include all script pages", but the source shows it as still applying to a single page only.
- Userscripts Notice Re-Style by tdupree
- Restyles the warning box about installing newly updated scripts on script pages; apparently obsolete now, since I haven't seen that since the last redesign of the site. (Userscripts.org Hide Caution Box is a similar script that was apparently developed independently.)
- FindScripts by Toke Riis Ebbesen
- Adds a keystroke command to search us.o for scripts pertaining to the Web site you're looking at. Apparently broken and in need of an update. (UserScript Finder by Veniamin and UserScript Finder by jerone offer similar functionality.)
- Userscripts.org Random Script Viewer by JoeSimmons
- Adds a link to the header of all us.o pages which goes to the page for a randomly selected script.
- Userscripts Updater by lazyttrick
- Adds a link to the header of all us.o pages which checks for updates to any scripts you've installed from us.o. (You must reinstall all other scripts installed from us.o after installing this script in order for this script to know which scripts to check on.)
- UserScripts.org Simple View by Vaughan Chandler
- Adds a link to script listing pages which, when clicked, hides script descriptions, making for a more compact list.
- Show Flag by Scripts You Flagged by pw
- Displays flag icons next to lines in script listings for scripts that you've flagged; incompatible with Why Flag If Not To Trash?.
- Why Flag If Not To Trash? by pw
- Automatically removes scripts that you've flagged from listings; incompatible with Show Flag by Scripts You Flagged.
- Show More Scripts Per Page by pw
- Combines multiple (up to 5) pages of script listings into a single page; intended to be used with Because it's your userscripts.org.

- StraightToScripts by pw
- Redirects all attempts to go to the us.o main page to
http://userscripts.org/scripts. - Because it's your userscripts.org by pw
- Removes scripts from listings based on script number, keywords in title, author name or number, sites
@included, etc. (Userscripts.org Remove Spam Scripts is a similar script that was apparently developed independently.) - show new comments and updates - favorites by znerp
- Modified version of Userscripts.org - show new comments and installs; stores the number of comments and installs for each script listed each time you visit the page listing your favorite scripts, and uses this to add info to this list showing number of installs and comments added since that last time. (US.o script author helper is a further modified version of this script.)
- userscripts favourites by znerp
- Adds a local (stored in your browser) list of favo(u)rite scripts. Obsolete, now that us.o includes this feature, but still useful if you want a list that won't be made public. (Userscripts : Watch script is a similar script which adds a "since last time" function like that of Userscripts.org - show new comments and installs.)
- Userscripts comment helper by alien_scum
- Adds buttons to the script comment box to insert common HTML tags, and to escape HTML code so that it's displayed as written.
- Userscripts.org - show new comments and installs by Arvid
- Stores the number of comments and installs for each script listed each time you visit a page listing scripts by a given user, and uses this to add info to this list showing number of installs and comments added since that last time. Apparently broken and in need of an update. (US.o script author helper and show new comments and updates - favorites are modified versions of this script.)
- User Scripts Search Sorting - With Install Rate by znerp
- Improved version of User Scripts Search Sorting; adds a column to lists of scripts showing the average number of installs per day.
- User Scripts Search Sorting by Brad Stewart
- Allows lists of scripts to be sorted by name, last update, number of installs, or number of comments. Obsolete, now that us.o includes this feature. (User Scripts Search Sorting - With Install Rate is a version of this script with added functionality.)
Obviously, this list is incomplete. There are tons of others that I just haven't gotten around to adding yet, but contact me anyway if you know of other scripts that belong on this list, just in case they're not already in my "to do" list.

Outstanding list. A few of my more newer uso scripts really add on to the site like preview posts and quick quote.
Sizzlemctwizzle also has scripts that achieve the same goal you can stick up.

There is a Firefox Add-on called Greasefire that tells you when and which scripts are available for the current page in your browser.
