This script adds links to any <span> element inside an element with the ID "user-status". When one of the <span>s is clicked, the page at "User:User name/Status" is updated with the text inside the <span>. The purpose is to put links on your user page you can click to update the status page, which is transcluded into the user page. This way you don't have to go to the status page, edit it then save it. Note that this script only works for pages in your user space and user talk pages.
