To use, you need to include autoedit.js in your personal or global JavaScript (if you have working Pop-ups, you must also have included that) by adding the following lines:

mw.loader.load('//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/autoedit.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');
