Extension:QuickLink

Adding wikilinks to an article is generally easy. But what happens when you don't know the exact capitalization, or wording of an article name? This plugin adds a new button to the edit tool bar that when clicked, adds an ajax search bar to find links. The search shows the existing pages in your wiki, and selecting a result inserts a link to the wiki page in the current position of the pointer in the edit box. This features provide a very quick and efficient way of inserting internal links.

A Search can be started by pressing. Then search results can be selected with the arrow keys and.

Search results are updated whenever the search box is modified.
