Hi, I found this really helpful when writing User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/massCFDS, thanks a lot for making it!
Would you consider adding the following improvements?

1. Updating the script so that it works on Vector 2022; I think the selector should be a > span:nth-child(2) for the skin vector-2022
2. Making the console debugging better as described on Stackoverflow; by changing eval(js) to eval(js+"\n//# sourceURL=EasyWikiDevScript.js;")
