(Script under development - partially functional)

ViewAsOutline-NavBox.js = view navigation footers as outlines

What it does: converts navigation footers on the current view of 
the current page into pastable wikicode outline format. That is, as bullet list 
entries with asterisks and square brackets, ready to be copied into an edit window. 

Brief comments are provided within the source code below. For extensive explanatory 
notes on what the source code does and how it works, see the Script's workshop on 
the talk page.

// ============== Set up ==============

// Start off with a bodyguard function to reserve the aliases mw and $
( function ( mw, $ ) {

    // we can now rely on mw and $ within the safety of our “bodyguard” function, to mean 
    // "mediawiki" and "jQuery", respectively

    // ============== ready() event listener/handler ==============
    // below is jQuery short-hand for $(document).ready(function() { ... });
    // it makes the rest of the script wait until the page's DOM is loaded and ready
    $(function() {
        
		// Load dependencies
		mw.loader.using( , function () {

			// ============== activation filters ==============
	        // Only activate on Vector skin
	        if ( mw.config.get( 'skin' ) === 'vector' ) {

				// Variable declarations, etc., go here
