List of JavaScript enhancements

A list of JavaScript enhancements categorized by type. If you find random JS that may be useful on other wikis, you can add it on the JavaScript Cookbook.

Common Site Enhancements= Please do not add scripts here unless you can verify that they are widely used. ''These are scripts that help with Wiki organisation and maintenance tasks. They are for personal use only, only add them to your personal script pages.'' ''These scripts alter the way Wikis look or behave so that it's more to your liking. Only use these in your personal JavaScript/CSS files, do not add them to the Wiki itself.'' ''These scripts add new features (or fix broken ones) and are safe to use in your site-wide Wiki script files. Some of these can also be used personally but most are only useful when installed into the Wiki itself.'' These tools help in development of other scripts
