Custom JavaScript in 'MediaWiki:Common.js' is not working

Question

I fresh installed MediaWiki on my own server (latest version)
I tried adding some JavaScript code to MediaWiki:Common.js
In localsettings.php, $wgAllowUserJs is set to true
I also tried adding the JavaScript to User:Admin/vector.js and User:Admin/common.js
I cleared cache/cookies, used different browsers, JavaScript enabled, tried different computers

The JavaScript code does not work at all. I viewed source and it's not there.

<!-- BEGIN Tynt Script -->
<script type="text/javascript">
    if(document.location.protocol=='http:'){
        var Tynt=Tynt||[];Tynt.push('cAe5WESDOr4BZUacwqm_6r');Tynt.i={"ap":"Read more:"};
        (function(){var s=document.createElement('script');s.async="async";s.type="text/javascript";s.src='http://tcr.tynt.com/ti.js';var h=document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];h.parentNode.insertBefore(s,h);})();
    }
</script>
<!-- END Tynt Script -->

Do not include <script> and </script> on the *.js page - it will be included as a separate JS file, not inline in the HTML page. Also, you don't need $wgAllowUserJs for MediaWiki pages (there is a separate setting for that, but it is on by default). — Tgr

Note that $wgAllowUserJs enables User:<Username>/common.js while MediaWiki:Commons.js is controlled by $wgUserSiteJs — Christian

Do not include <script> and </script> on the *.js page - it will be included as a separate JS file, not inline in the HTML page.

Note that you don't need $wgAllowUserJs for javascript pages in the MediaWiki namespace, only for ones in the User namespace. (There is a separate setting called $wgUseSiteJs for enabling scripts in the MediaWiki namespace, but it is on by default).

it's $wgUseSiteJs, not User... the link in this answer points at the right page, though.

Thanks, fixed. (Did you know you can just edit the answer?)
