Extension:Vector

This extension will be replaced by core functionality included in MW 1.22 and thus obsoleted.

The Vector extension adds a few enhancements to the Vector skin. Note that these features are only available in Vector, not in other skins.

EditWarning
The EditWarning feature warns the editor when they leave the edit form without saving. This feature has been integrated in MediaWiki core as of MediaWiki 1.22.

CollapsibleTabs
Collapse the navigation tabs on top when space is tight.

Enabled by default. Set false to disable CollapsibleTabs globally. Allow users to enable CollapsibleTabs in their preferences.

CollapsibleNav
Make the sections in the left navigation collapsible/expandable.

Enabled by default. Set false to disable CollapsibleNav globally. Allow users to enable CollapsibleNav in their preferences.

FooterCleanup

 * Makes the "View templates on this page" and "View hidden categories on this page" lists collapsible and collapsed by default.
 * Also, if WikiEditor is loaded, removes the .editHelp (link to MediaWiki:Edithelppage with label MediaWiki:Edithelp) element and the "|" from after the cancel link.
 * Various additional CSS adjustments.
