Hi,

Just put the code in my monobook.js file, and nothing looks different when I'm editing a page... any ideas on what might be going wrong?

Thanks.

I'm nearly done with a cross-browser solution, currently it's modern Mozilla-only. You also have to flush your cache by pressing shift-Reload. Cacycle 09:08, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay. Shift-reload didn't get it to work... I guess my Firefox is too old a version or something then? (If that's totally off-base and sounds stupid, well, you're talking to an English major here. ;) ) Thanks again. Hbackman 22:59, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Does this work on a local installation? I've tried on my linux machine but cannot get it to work. Thanks Softreviewer 19:34, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 * What exactly do you mean with local installation. I see no reason why it shouldn't work. Please provide us with more details of your problem, e.g. if the script works for you on Wikipedia. Cacycle 20:52, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes it did work correctly here on wikipedia. By "local installation" I mean I installed it on my computer, on my local, personal installation of mediawiki software. I refesh it, I reload, I reboot it. I installed it on admin and user accounts, I used simple and dev versions. Nothing worked.

Are there any error messages in the JavaScript console of your browser and did you add the script to the correct UI-theme. Cacycle 22:45, 29 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Error: Selector expected. Ruleset ignored due to bad selector.

 * Yes, i put it on monobook.js

Mhm, does any JavaScript in your monobook.js work? Cacycle 22:04, 31 May 2006 (UTC)


 * If it doesn't, what could be the problem? Softreviewer 15:08, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Does it or not? Cacycle 22:17, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry. No, none works. I tried some more, but no luck. Softreviewer 16:13, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Then I would check your configuration files to enable the JavaScript loading. I am pretty sure there should be such a switch. Cacycle 21:40, 2 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I added $wgAllowUserJs "true" to my LocalSettings.php file. Other scripts worked but not yours. And i tried all versions of your script from "small" to "dev". I refreshed, I purged and I even rebooted. Softreviewer 14:36, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Uninstalling the editor?
I am trying to clear my monobook for testing purposes, but I am unable to "uninstall" the editor. Are there any special instructions for reverting back to pre-editor capabilities? Thanks, ... disco spinster  talk  01:09, 11 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Try Shift-Reload to clear the browser's cache. Cacycle 03:00, 11 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks, that worked. ... disco spinster   talk  01:08, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

"Fix blanks around bars"
The fix blanks around bars function should definately not do what it does (i.e. adding extra space), I have mentioned this before but apparently was ignored.
 * It is contrary to the standard used 99.9 % of the time.
 * It is more difficult to read (because it is non standard)
 * It can break formatting, e.g. in this situation: ( Dutch) => ( Dutch) it puts an extra space before the '('
 * It is not how the mediawiki software builds links (e.g. when it automatically expands links, like when you write Example
 * It is contrary to Help:Editing

Please either remove or even reverse this function!

Also, I'm sure the WP:MOS says not to change dashes, but I'm not too bothered about that.

Otherwise a very impressive piece of work! Martin 16:35, 22 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Agreed. — Omegatron 17:21, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I think that in long lists of links these blanks make it way easier to separate the link and the link text. Therefore I tend to keep that button, but I have relabeled the description text in the new version (see wikEd).
