Slight modification of Sidebar . For sysops only - makes "Recent changes" link to recent changes list of unpatrolled edits. Easier control and access to managing edits and patrolling them.

Usage[edit]

Log in as sysop, and click on the link :)

Download instructions[edit]

Please cut and paste the code found below and place it in $IP/extensions/SysSidebar/SysSidebar.php. Note: $IP stands for the root directory of your MediaWiki installation, the same directory that holds LocalSettings.php .

Installation[edit]

To install this extension, add the following to LocalSettings.php :

require_once("$IP/extensions/SysSidebar/SysSidebar.php");

Configuration[edit]

Note: all parameters are optional. Extension works also if you don't set any of them.

$wgSsbAdd: If you would like the Unpatrolled Edits link added to the navigation box, not coming instead of regular Recent changes, set this to true in LocalSettings.php

Default setting: false

$wgSsbAddTxt: If you set $wgSsbAddTxt to true, this optional parameter sets the text for the new link added. Set in LocalSettings.php

Default setting: "Unpatrolled Edits"

$wgSsbSection: Which section the "Recent changes" link is in, or should be added to. Set in LocalSettings.php

Note: If link is not found in section the link will be added - even if $wgSsbAdd is set to false. In such a case link will be added according to $wgSsbAddTxt rules as written above, and in section specified (if none specified and it doesn't exist in neither navigation nor site the link will be created in navigation).

Default setting: navigation (detects "site" too)
