Inactive scripts

User:Ohconfucius/script/Common Terms and User:Ohconfucius/dashes should not be installed here;

Common Terms unlinks words that for the Simple Wikipedia are actually useful/helpful,
Dashes replaces - with – and — however just these edits alone shouldn't be made as they're only cosmetic changes (edits that don't change the page shouldn't be made) so this script hasn't been installed.
