Manual:Custom edit buttons

You can add custom edit buttons to the edit window easily with JavaScript.

JavaScript code needed
To add custom edit buttons, edit either User:Your username/skinname.js or MediaWiki:Common.js on your wiki. If you edit the former, the buttons will only show up for yourself and if the latter, they will show to all wiki users.


 * imageFile is the full URL to the edit button image. Please do not hotlink images from Wikimedia Commons or Wikipedia! Upload them to your web host instead.
 * See next section if you want to use a script for downloading images from english wikipedia
 * tagOpen is simply the opening tag, e.g..


 * 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.
