This is a combination of userscript and uBlock Origin filters I wrote for my personal use, that I figure could be useful to other members.

Features:

  • The header search bar can can be made to search the vault and wiki specifically
  • Hide TFC section of entity guide pages
  • Place long lists in wiki entity guide pages into columns
  • Move table of contents of long wiki pages to a fixed location off to the sides
  • Ability to make wiki pages narrower to help improve readability
  • Add button to list pages linking to/from the current wiki page
  • Improved appearance for those using Dark Reader browser extension
  • Use monospace font on large edit boxes (and tab size of 4, sorry but 8 is too much!)
  • Make wiki edit page span the width of the browser
You need to have both uBlock Origin and a userscript extension installed, and install both parts, otherwise some features from the userscript won't work properly.

uBlock Origin filters

To use this requires uBlock Origin. Other adblockers not tested, they may not have cosmetic filtering feature uBO uses.

Userscript

Developed and tested on Tampermonkey. Since this doesn't use any GM_* features it should theoretically work on other userscript extensions like Greasemonkey. Again, no guarantees.

The decision to use uBO filters was me discovering it can do cosmetic CSS adjustments in the first place. It saved me having to install a userstyle browser extension. And it's quite more powerful than vanilla CSS too. Related journal entry.
