==Introduction==
Userscripts are [[wikipedia:Greasemonkey|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., [http://www.greasespot.net/ Greasemonkey] for Firefox, [https://tampermonkey.net/ Tampermonkey] for Chrome/Chromium/Safari/Opera Next) and also to [https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+install+userscripts 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 [https://tampermonkey.net/ Tampermonkey].
{{note}} A number of popular userscripts for MusicBrainz no longer work on Firefox 57+ and Greasemonkey 4+. See [[Greasemonkey#GreaseMonkey 4 incompatibility]]. Use [[Violentmonkey]] or [[Tampermonkey]] on Firefox instead.

To run userscripts, you need to install userscripts and an in-browser userscript manager to run them. Although Chrome/Chromium can run userscripts without installing a userscript manager extension, many userscripts will not work properly. It is recommended that you install a userscript manager.

Userscripts run in the web browser and make on-the-fly local changes to specific web pages. They generally change MusicBrainz pages to facilitate editing.

Note Note: A number of popular userscripts for MusicBrainz no longer work on Firefox 57+ and Greasemonkey 4+. See Greasemonkey#GreaseMonkey 4 incompatibility. Use Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey on Firefox instead.

Userscript manager

To run userscripts, you need to install userscripts and an in-browser userscript manager to run them. Although Chrome/Chromium can run userscripts without installing a userscript manager extension, many userscripts will not work properly. It is recommended that you install a userscript manager.

Critical

Could not edit MB without these:

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

Very useful

These make MB much easier to edit

Name Info Install
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). Install
Funkey Illustrated Records CAA front cover art archive pictures/images (release groups and releases) Big illustrated discography and/or inline everywhere possible without cluttering the pages Install
mb. TAGGER LINKS NOW Quickly show or update "TAGGER" links with desired port Install
Colourful edits A script to add colour to the edit headers in the edit search results. Install
MASS MERGE RECORDINGS Merges selected or all recordings from tracklist/release A to tracklist/release B in *.musicbrainz.org Install
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. Install

Handy to have

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.
