A bookmarklet is a bookmark stored in a web browser that contains JavaScript commands to extend the browser's functionality through a single mouse click. For instance, a bookmarklet might enable the user to select an editor username on a page, click the bookmarklet, and be taken directly to the private message page with the username already entered.
