[edit] What can this plugin do?
This plugin to the GroupPermissionsManager extension allows for additional items to be added to the Toolbox.
[edit] Usage
The MediaWiki:Toolbox append message controls what additional items should be added to the end of the Toolbox. New items can be defined in the format * item-url | item-name | permission. The URL and name are required, and the permission is optional. Any wiki markup besides the opening bullet point is not allowed.
- item-url: the URL that the link in the Toolbox will be pointing to, may be one of the following (will be checked in the following order as well):
- The name of a MediaWiki message
- An internal page
- A URL pointing to somewhere offsite
- item-name: what will appear on-screen (and is also the ID of the item for CSS stylings). Can be one of the following (again parsed in order):
- The name of a MediaWiki message
- Plain text
- permission: the permission required in order to be able to see the tab. This is optional, and if excluded, the ability to read the wiki will be checked.
An example of a few custom items follows. Please note that MediaWiki:Mainpage and MediaWiki:Mainpage-text both exist, and MediaWiki is a page on this wiki. MediaWiki:Google does not exist.
* mainpage | mainpage-text * MediaWiki | The Main Page * http://www.google.com | google * Special:BlockIP | block someone! | block
This would produce four additional items in the toolbox. The first links to the main page of this wiki, since the contents of MediaWiki:Mainpage lead there. The contents of MediaWiki:Mainpage-text are displayed on the tab. The second one also links to the main page of this wiki, but is not a system message. The literal text "The Main Page" is shown in the Toolbox. The third item links to Google and has a literal "google" as the link text. The fourth links to Special:BlockIP with the literal text "block someone!", but only shows up for people who have the ability to block (sysops).
