- [image: Advanced item] The wikis now have a content security policy
report <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Content_Security_Policy>. This
means that you might get a warning in your javascript console when you load
external resources in your user scripts. For security reasons it is
recommended that you don't do this. It might not be possible to load
external resources in your scripts in the future. [1]
