MediaWiki talk:Edittools: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 14:45, 11 November 2010

This page is one of four that determines what editors see directly under the "Save page" and similar buttons on edit and upload pages. It is modeled after WP's edittools bar.

Here's how this works:

Users with no javascript see MediaWiki:Edittools.
Users with javascript see MediaWiki:Edittools.js (a one-row menu with a dropdown).
- They see this because MediaWiki:Common.js calls MediaWiki:Common.js/edit.js.
- Then, MediaWiki:Common.js/edit.js calls MediaWiki:Edittools.js

Thus, to make any changes for javascript users (most people), you must edit MediaWiki:Edittools.js.

-This is modeled after Wikisource's [[MediaWiki:Edittools]].  There is code on [[MediaWiki:Common.js]] that makes it work.  I attempted to copy WP's method but it wouldn't collapse, even with the appropriate code at [[MediaWiki:Edittools.js]].  Not sure why, but this should be easy enough to customize for our purposes anyway. --[[User:Forgottenman|Forgottenman]] ([[User talk:Forgottenman|talk]]) 07:53, 11 November 2010 (CST)
