Hi there! This is Lapper from the recent changes patrol. I noticed you had a question and I'm here to help. Here's how to add a link to your quickbar:
1. First, decide what kind of link you would like to add. Here are some suggestions:
- A page that you frequent, that isn't easily accessible.
- One of your user space pages.
- A friend's user page or talk page.
2. Find the complete address of that page, and copy it down.
3. Go to your monobook.js page by visiting the following address:
http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:(Your user name)/monobook.js
4. Edit the page, and insert the following lines of code:
gs*****InsertBefore = 'pt-@@@@@';
function *****Link()
{
var user = document.getElementById( 'pt-userpage').firstChild.firstChild.data;
var li = document.createElement( 'li' );
li.id = 'pt-*****';
var a = document.createElement( 'a' );
a.appendChild( document.createTextNode( '******' ) );
a.href = '#####'
li.appendChild( a );
if ( ! gs*****InsertBefore )
{
document.getElementById( 'pt-logout' ).parentNode.appendChild( li );
}
else
{
var before = document.getElementById( gs******InsertBefore );
before.appendChild( li, before );
}
}
if ( window.addEventListener ) window.addEventListener( 'load', *****Link, false );
else if ( window.attachEvent ) window.attachEvent( 'onload', *****Link );
5. Now, look at all of the symbols in the code. You'll see stars, @ signs, and number signs. You need to replace them:
- Where ever you see ***** in the code, replace it with your (very short) new link name. You will do this eight times.
- Where you see @@@@@ in the code, replace it with one of the following names:
- Replace it with userpage if you want the link to appear before your userpage link.
- Replace it with mytalk if you want the link to appear before your my talk link.
- Replace it with preferences if you want the link to appear before your preferences link.
- Replace it with watchlist if you want the link to appear before your my watchlist link.
- Replace it with mycontris if you want the link to appear before your my contributions link.
- Replace it with logout if you want the link to appear before your log out link.
- Delete that entire line of text if you want the link to appear after your log out link.
- Where you see ##### in the code, replace it with the entire link path to the page you want to link to.
6. Now, save your edit, and reload the page. You should have a brand new link in your quickbar!
If you need any more help, leave me a message on my talk page. See you around.
