Customization
To add custom entries, adapt this code, and place it in your common.js: that will append the u and ping code to the Insert menu.
 * In this example,  is the name of the menu the new markup is being added to; it is enclosed in quotes  followed by a colon  ; to create a new menu simply use a new name
 * In this example,  is a heading within the entries; anything ending in a colon is a heading; use an underscore   to replace a space
 * The content within the single quotes  is the new markup; use a dot   to replace a space; the entry may need to be enclosed within  to prevent it from being parsed
 * is where your cursor will appear after the text is inserted, or if you already have text highlighted when you click them then that text will be properly surrounded by the markup
 * For multiple menus, end all lines with a comma  except for the last line
 * To include a single literal  use four backslashes   (this will appear as double-\ on menu display.); for example.
 * Add a newline as
 * These available operators can be derived from the source code MediaWiki:Gadget-charinsert-core.js: function

To add multiple entries to a menu, enclose them all in the single quotes and separate them with a space: ', };

To add entries to multiple menus:

To create a new menu, use a new name: ' };

To copy entries from one menu to another, browse to MediaWiki:Edittools and click on edit. You can copy any entry and paste it into your customized menu.

Issues
If CharInsert does not show:

In the Interface section: (Wikisource)


 * Ensure is checked. The General utilities needed by the templates and portals of this wiki project.

In the Editing tools section:


 * Ensure is checked. The tool uses JavaScript by default. Check your various JavaScript configurations at . If an invalid entry is added, it will break all uses of JS but since JS is enabled it will not fallback to MediaWiki:Edittools. Personal JS pages will now show an error on save if there is an invalid entry, so an attempt to edit and save will point out issues.

Technical
If JavaScript is enabled, then CharInsert is added as a Gadget defined at MediaWiki:Gadget-charinsert.js which uses JavaScript to load CharInsert from MediaWiki:Gadget-charinsert-core.js. The Gadget is enabled by default but can be disabled through.

If JavaScript is disabled, then the CharInsert software extension is called, which uses the symbols defined at MediaWiki:Edittools. Not all of the symbol sets are included in MediaWiki:Edittools. This mode is also used if the bits server fails to yield all the needed Javascript and CSS.
