Everyone, experts included, should at least read the [Implementation](https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/wiki/1.3-Implementation) wiki page, as it contains important information regarding a few default settings we use. The rest of the [Wiki](https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/wiki) is helpful as well.
