Help:Navigation/es

When viewing any page on, you’ll find three main navigation elements:

This page mainly documents the MonoBook skin. Appearances may be different when using a skin other than MonoBook.
 * 1) The sidebar gives you access to important pages in the wiki such as Recent changes or Upload file. MediaWiki requires you to log in before seeing all of the sidebar options.
 * 2) Links (often called tabs) which relate to the page currently displayed: its associated discussion page, the version history, and – most notably – the edit link.
 * 3) User links; as an anonymous user, you’ll see a link to create an account or log in. As a logged-in user you have a collection of personal links, including ones to your user page and preferences.

Sidebar
The sidebar is displayed on the left edge of the page below the site logo (if using the MonoBook skin or the default Vector skin since MediaWiki 1.16). This sidebar gives you access to important pages in the wiki such as Recent Changes or Upload File.

Navigation
Clicking on the logo brings you back to the main page of the wiki. The links in the navigation section just below will take you to important pages of the wiki. These links can be configured by site administrators.

Toolbox
The contains a selection of links which change depending on what type of page you are viewing.


 * On all pages (except special pages):
 * “” takes you to a special page that lists the pages on this wiki which contain a link to the current page. This is helpful when you are looking for pages of related information. The “” information can also be useful when you are refactoring wiki pages and need to check whether links to this page are still relevant after changes in the current page.
 * The “” tool lists all recent changes in the pages linked to from the current page. Recent changes to all relevant template pages are included in the resulting page list. The "Hide minor edits" option that can be set in the user preferences applies, among other things, to “”.


 * On all pages (including special pages):
 * “” displays a special page that allows logged-in users to upload images and other files to the wiki. Uploaded files can be linked from or embedded in wiki pages. Uploading files, viewing files on the server, including them in wiki pages and managing the uploaded files is discussed in the managing files section of this manual. This is not displayed if file uploading is not enabled.
 * The “” tool lists the MediaWiki special pages. In MediaWiki terminology, a special page is one that presents information about the Wiki and/or allows access to administration activities for the wiki. For example, a list of users registered with the wiki, statistics about the wiki such as the number of pages and number of page edits, system logs, a list of orphaned pages, and so on. These special pages are commonly generated when the special page is loaded rather than being stored in the wiki database. The function and use of the default special pages can be found in the special pages section of this manual.

Page Tabs


The page tabs are displayed at the top of the page to the right of the site logo (if using the MonoBook skin or the default Vector skin since MediaWiki 1.16). These tabs allow you to perform actions or view pages that are related to the current page. The available default actions include: viewing, editing, and discussing the current page. The specific tabs displayed on your pages depend on whether or not you are logged into the wiki and whether you have sysop (administrator) privileges on the wiki. On special pages only the namespace tab is displayed.


 * Default for all users
 * “namespace” (page, help, special page, template, user page etc.)
 * “” (may read “” if anonymous editing is disabled, the page is in the MediaWiki: namespace, or the page is protected)
 * “” (may read “” if anonymous editing is disabled, the page is in the MediaWiki: namespace, or the page is protected)


 * Extra tabs for logged-in users:


 * Extra tabs for sysops:

Administrators can add or remove tabs by using JavaScript or installing extensions, so the tabs you see may be different depending on which wiki you are using.

User Links


The user links are displayed at the top far right of the page (if using the default Vector skin). These tabs allow the logged-in user to view and edit their user page and wiki preferences. Additionally, the user links allow the user to quickly access their contributions to the wiki and logout.

For anonymous users the user links is replaced by a link to the wiki login page or, if enabled, a link to your IP address and your IP address's talk page.
