Jump to: navigation, search
You can add more buttons to the edit toolbar

You can add custom edit buttons to the edit toolbar above the edit window.

To add custom edit buttons, edit:

User:Your username/skinname.js -- the buttons will only show up for yourself. (Important: In Localsettings.php add $wgAllowUserJs = true; )
or MediaWiki:Common.js -- they will show to all wiki users.

Example:

 if (mwCustomEditButtons) {
 
   mwCustomEditButtons[mwCustomEditButtons.length] = {
     "imageFile": "http://images.wikia.com/central/images/7/74/Button_comment.png",
     "speedTip": "Comment visible only for editors",
     "tagOpen": "<!-- ",
     "tagClose": " -->",
     "sampleText": "Insert comment here"}
  }
  • imageFile is the full URL address to the edit button image.
  • tagOpen is the opening tag, in this example: <!--
  • tagClose is the closing tag, in this example: -->
  • sampleText is the sample text that will appear between the opening and closing tags. The editor should replace this sample text with his or her own text.
