Maybe you should turn your initial post into a wiki post now, because after a while, you can no longer edit it.
But it will make it editable by everyone.
There is also MusicBrainz userscripts tips and tricks.
But it was more for the developers than for the users, and it is near empty, in fact.

Thanks jesus! My first wiki post 
I didn’t find your thread when I searched - if you think this one duplicates it, I am happy to delete this one. While making this thread I found the topic for what I wanted to post anyway!
By the way, there is a bit of userscript and development conversation in the Discord scripting/coding channel (I know that doesn’t help people who don’t use Discord, and that it would be better in the open forums, I’m just sharing that the younger crowd seems to prefer to chat there)

Hey @DenizC, I’m curious what your use-case is for your new ‘MB: Inline per-recording streaming & download links’ script? Is it to try spot when not all recordings have links, to then fill gaps (using Harmony, I guess)?
Usually the releases I look at have all the links, or they don’t (in which case I add them all at once), so I’m just wondering if it’s useful for me.
P.S. the recording-URL addition rate has jumped up again, I wonder if it’s because of all the new scripts that can submit lots of relationships at once/submit and close tabs, etc?
Or we have had a very keen editor or two in the last few days.
Either way, pretty cool!! I didn’t think it could spike even more 
Sometimes I feel making sure that the correct links were added. Track mismatches should be rare thanks to how Harmony harmonizes releases from different services but I’ve still ran on a few edge cases. Or there might be a prior mistake on the recrding chosen for a certain track within MB.
Other times I work with albums that have a handful of different releases (deluxe, expanded, clean/edited, etc.). I don’t think it’s always worth adding all possible links to the clutter if it’s the same (re-)master recording from releases distributed to the same area, so it helps me to check the prior additions.
Or, I might just wanna check a certain recording on Spotify or elsewhere and jump there directly.
Indeed, it could be mostly serving my niche needs for now, but I nevertheless felt like sharing it. For what it’s worth, @chaban’s feedback on Greasyfork taught me that’s it’s possible to fetch all these links by a single API lookup on the release. You learn something every day.
