Test example javascript file: User:Rod_McGuire/dataschemetest.user.js.

(UGH, to access that wiki page Greasemonkey has to be disabled so it doesn't intercept it as a userscript)

The raw text file version of that page should be accessed as [1], i.e.,

http://wiki.greasespot.net/index.php?title=User:Rod_McGuire/dataschemetest.user.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript

Greasemonkey does not currently automatically recognize the above as a userscript.

However you can fool Greasemonkey into automatically treating it as a userscript by appending .user.js to the URL, using some bogus parameter such as US. I.e.

&US=.user.js

This link will cause Greasemonkey to automatically try to install the above.

Maybe creating a Template to handle the rewriting needed would be appropriate.
