Remove the more "destructive" scripts from GF / OUJS

↖ #396 – GF and OUJS: Abandon mirrors

---

Some scripts like the MASS MERGE RECORDINGS are actually queuing edits (or are inciting edits). They should not be too easy to find and install.

[jesus2099]

I have removed MASS MERGE RECORDINGS from GF and OUJS, as it was no longer updated by them.

• GF didn't want my libraries in GitHub
• OUJS didn't like my @grant GM_info any more (not valid or supported)

Here is a great template for removing the other scripts (#396):

// ==UserScript==
// @name         mb. MASS MERGE RECORDINGS
// @version      2021.7.31.666

"use strict";

if (confirm("MASS MERGE RECORDINGS is no longer available outside its official repo. Please go to GitHub.com/jesus2099/konami-command to install the latest version, by clicking the RAW button.")) {
    location.assign("https://github.com/jesus2099/konami-command/blob/master/mb_MASS-MERGE-RECORDINGS.user.js");
}

See https://sourceforge.net/p/greasemonkey/wiki/GM_info/ i.e. you don't have to do it... therefor not valid syntax for .user.js. Been this way the whole time of its existence. :smiley:

[jesus2099]

Wow I never saw those docs you've made! They are really great!

On https://sourceforge.net/p/greasemonkey/wiki/GM_log/ I see an example where it says you need grant.

In fact in https://sourceforge.net/p/greasemonkey/wiki/Metadata_Block/#grant I can see which GM_functions need it.

Thanks very much, @Martii.

I noticed that scripts worked whether I write grant or not but never saw a doc saying in which case it's needed exactly.

but never saw a doc saying in which case it's needed exactly.

I filled in GM_info just recently because of another user who inquired about the filtering. The err message is a catch all for invalid and unsupported keys as well. If there is ever support needed for a new key please feel free to let us know on GH dev with lots of citation so we can add it in. :smile:

I see an example where it says you need grant

It's labeled as Access in the documentation under Syntax as well.

Now that I know grant is not needed for GM info, only now, I find the doc saying so (but in a way I didn't understand what it meant before knowing): https://wiki.greasespot.net/@grant
