Example user scripts can be defined in the Greasespot wiki.
Currently such wiki pages seem to be creatable only in User: space.
One could try creating a page such as User:Rod_McGuire/dataschemetest.user.js, but this has two problems:
- If you try to access such a wiki page when Greasemonkey is running, Greasemonkey will try to install the wiki page, not its Javascript code, as a user script. AND Gresemonkey will prevent you from seeing the wiki page.
- There is no direct way to install the Javascript code as a script in Greasemonkey.
The solution is to define a user script page with a name that ends in .js, but not .user.js, such as User:Rod_McGuire/dataschemetest.u.js, then use Template:RawWikiUserscript to create a link to the raw Javascript text (for example: dataschemetest.user.js) that can cause Greasemonkey to treat the content as an installable script.
