Description

[edit]

British Museum iMacro script to extract information from on-line collection records.

Ensure that:

  1. the script code is saved as a JavaScript (.js) file rather than a default iMacro (.iim).
  2. you are running iMacro in Firefox.
  3. you are looking at a page from the BM collections database showing a record about an artefact (not the same thing as a BM article or highlights page).

The normal policies for use of templates apply, results may need copy editing before use.

Please contact User talk:Fæ for reporting bugs (include a sample url) and suggesting improvements.

   Description:
   Wikipedia - British Museum script.
   Script to extract values from records on the on-line British Museum collections
   database and display {{infobox artefact}} and other templates.
   Text is displayed in a browser alert and can be cut & paste into articles.
   
   Warnings:
   - Do not paste into articles willy-nilly, templates must be appropriate.
   - Ensure the information extracted displays correctly and is relevant to the
     article. The script may extract more data than is useful, be prepared to trim or
     copy edit the text.
