WME Extensions & Scripts:

Do you use any Chrome Extensions or Scripts for WME yet?

Extensions and Scripts designed to work with WME are incredibly powerful tools that will make your editing time far more productive. These tools will direct your attention to various parts of the data in WME that MAY need attention. With out these sort of tools, editors usually endlessly scroll around in WME 'looking' for something to 'fix'.

NOTE: Remember that these tools will identify items that POSSIBLY need attention. Not every issue identified is actually incorrect. It may actually be a configuration approved by Sr Editors as an exception to wiki guidance based on specific local conditions.

It is highly recommend that new editors start out with Validator, Toolbox & Tampermonkey*

All three are available at the Chrome Store. Simply view these in the Chrome Store, click to install them, and press F5 on your WME tab. Remember that WME is designed for use with Chrome, so this page is about installing tools in Chrome, for use with WME.

  • TamperMonkey is a "script manager". It will allow you to install other useful scripts into WME for more advanced tools that you will use as you learn more about editing in WME.

Once you have TamperMonkey installed:

Look for the TamperMonkey icon in the upper right corner of Chrome, left click the icon, then select "Get new scripts..." A new tab should open for TamperMonkey, and on there is a listing of User Script sources. Most of the most current scripts for WME are usually found on "GreasyFork". Click on the link to GreasyFork.

Once you get to the GreasyFork page, enter 'WME' in the search box and you should see a list of Scripts for WME

NOTE: Do not feel the need to install any/ all of them, until you are working on an issue where a specific script might be useful!

One such useful script for editors in NY is Localization Pack for New York

One additional script very useful for new editors, who want to process Update Requests [URs], is UR-MP Tracking
