Introduction

Userscripts are Greasemonkey scripts that run in the web browser, making on-the-fly local changes to specific web pages. In this context, they generally augment MusicBrainz pages and/or facilitate editing. You will usually need to install both a userscript runner (e.g., Greasemonkey for Firefox, Tampermonkey for Chrome/Chromium/Safari/Opera Next) and also to install the scripts themselves in your browser before they will work.

Note: A lot of the userscripts listed here will not work properly in Chrome/Chromium without Tampermonkey.

Critical

Could not edit MB without these:

mb. INLINE STUFF
musicbrainz.org release page: Inline recording names, comments, ISRC, PUID and AcoustID. Highlights duplicates in releases and edits.

Very useful

These make MB much easier to edit

mb. POWER VOTE 1.0
Adds some buttons to check all unvoted edits (Yes/No/Abs/None) at once in the edit search page. You can also collapse/expand (all) edits for clarity. A handy reset votes button is also available + Double click radio to vote single edit + range click with shift to vote a series of edits. , Hidden (collapsed) edits will never be voted (even if range click or shift+click force vote).
mb. FUNKEY ILLUSTRATED RECORDS 1.0
musicbrainz.org: CAA front cover art archive pictures/images (release groups and releases) Big illustrated discography and/or inline everywhere possible without cluttering the pages
mb. TAGGER LINKS NOW 2012.1106.2230
musicbrainz.org: Quickly show or update "TAGGER" links with desired port
MusicBrainz - Colourful edits 1.0
A script to add colour to the edit headers in the edit search results.
mb. MASS MERGE RECORDINGS
Merges selected or all recordings from tracklist/release A to tracklist/release B in *.musicbrainz.org
MusicBrainz: Paste-A-Date!
This script adds a field after the existing date fields where you can paste a date and it will try to parse it.

Handy to have

MusicBrainz - Batch-add composer/lyricist/librettist/arranger/orchestrator/publisher/part-of relationships 1.0
Create various relationships between an artist and the selected works or "part of" relationships between a main work and selected works from an artist's works list. Based on bitmap's 'Batch-add "performance of" relationships' userscript.
MusicBrainz Relate recordings to works from a release
the predecessor to the relationship editor, just does the works side of it. Has nicer date editing than the rel. editor.
MusicBrainz - Link work to recordings 1.0
MusicBrainz : Batch linking a work to recordings


Occasionally helpful

Extra MusicBrainz/AcoustID integration 1.0
Display additional AcoustID data on MusicBrainz mostly icons on tracks which have acoustIDs. Would be better if it did this anywhere a recording appeared, and maybe indicated how many acoustIDs there were.
MusicBrainz Fast cancel edits
Makes canceling edits much less painful, no need to go to a new page and enter a comment for each one.

Importers

These are useful for importing data from various sites semi-automatically into MusicBrainz.

Note: The importers generally function by placing a button of some sort on pages of the site they're made to import from. Clicking that button should open up MusicBrainz.
