Extension:CharInsert

CharInsert is an extension that enables the creation of JavaScript links which, when clicked, insert predefined text into the text box.

These links are usually used in system message (for an example, see Wikipedia:MediaWiki:Edittools).

You can use + sign inside a tag to define a place to:
