@viperesque: This script shows 6 scripts because that's how userscripts used to do their 5 random scripts before the redesign (see here, for example). Also, well spotted ... I'm surprised no one commented on this before now. Have a cookie.

I'm curious as to why this shows 6 scripts, but it's still great.

You can fix the script by changing "sibling = rightDiv.getElementsByTagName("h5")[1];" on line 56 to "sibling = rightDiv.getElementsByTagName("h5")[0];"
