MiniEdit

MiniEdit (previously called WikiEdit) is a tool for quickly editing content without leaving the page. MiniEdit makes small edits easy, fast and intuitive, especially on mobile devices.

Installation
If MiniEdit is already available as a gadget in your wiki, simply go to the gadgets tab in your preferences and enable it. If not, then you can install it by adding the following code to your common.js in the wiki where you want it available (Wikimedia or not) or to your global.js if you want it available in every Wikimedia wiki:

If you want to make MiniEdit available as a gadget in your wiki, first create MediaWiki:Gadget-MiniEdit.js with the code above and any configuration. Then create MediaWiki:Gadget-MiniEdit with a short description of the tool. Finally, add the following to MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition (see Extension:Gadgets for details):

* MiniEdit [ResourceLoader|targets=desktop,mobile|actions=view] | MiniEdit.js

Configuration
MiniEdit requires no configuration. However, the following options are available. Add them anywhere before or after the initialization code. They are shown along with their default values:

Note that all edits made with MiniEdit are automatically tagged with the #MiniEdit hashtag and can be easily tracked via https://hashtags.wmcloud.org across all Wikimedia wikis. Thus, setting a change tag is generally unnecessary, but may be useful for third-party wikis or for specific purposes.

Usage
Once installed, simply go to any page and click the little pencil icon that should appear next to most paragraphs.

Why did it load the regular editor when I clicked the edit button?
If an element isn't unique enough and MiniEdit can't find it in the page wikitext, the regular editor will load as a fallback.

Why does the edit button appear next to some elements but not others?
Currently, MiniEdit only shows the edit button next to paragraphs. List items, image captions, talk replies and other elements are likely to be supported in the near future.

Development
Clone the Gerrit repository to start contributing (see Gerrit/Tutorial). Once your code gets merged, it will be copied to MediaWiki:MiniEdit.js and become available to all users and all wikis.

Localization
Visit the translation project to help with translations. Your translations will become available automatically to all users and all wikis in a few days, just be patient.
