WikiEditor toolbar customization docs need to be moved to mediawiki.org where they can be found
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

There's surprisingly little documentation about WikiEditor and how to customize the toolbar on mediawiki.org; the extension page at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiEditor is extremely bare, and there's no obvious docs I could find explaining how to extend it in the extension's README or in code headers, other than a general mention that you can make a certain call.... but no information on what to pass to make specific things happen.

Krinkle shared a sample helper script: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Krinkle/Scripts/insertVectorButtons.js

And apparently there's more information hiding on the old Usability Initiative project wiki:

These and any other existing docs should be bundled up and moved to mediawiki.org, and tied in with other documentation on UI customization and extensibility options for extensions and gadgets.

Event Timeline

bzimport raised the priority of this task from to Medium.Nov 21 2014, 11:20 PM
bzimport added a project: WikiEditor.
bzimport set Reference to bz27072.
bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

Sidenote: the usability wiki is available as a transwiki import source on mediawiki.org, so it's possible to import pages with full history through [[:mw:Special:Import]].

Seems fixed, although I doubt WikiEditor documentation can be called good.
