Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation shortcuts

Navigation shortcuts offer the ability to add personal links to the sidebar, providing quick and easy access to favourite articles within Wikipedia.

Quick installation: add {{subst:js|User:Jsimlo/shortcuts.js}} to your monobook.js (or equivalent file if you use a different skin). See installation section below for full installation instructions and configuration section for instructions on adding sidebar links.

Features

• Add one or more personal sidebars with links below the Wikipedia logo.
  • Sidebar is the Wikipedia's menu on the left (by default), beneath the Wikipedia logo.
  • Note: Navigation shortcuts does not remove any portlets and/or links from the default Wikipedia sidebar. Use monobook.css to do that.

Requirements

• User account on the Wikipedia.
• Enabled and working javascripts in your browser.

Installation

• You must have a user account in order to install and use the Navigation shortcuts. If you do not have an account you will need to create one and log in.

• Add {{subst:js|User:Jsimlo/shortcuts.js}} to your own monobook.js. Note that if you are using other skin than the default one, you will need to use another page instead of the monobook.js:
  • Classic skin: standard.js
  • Cologne Blue: cologneblue.js
  • Chick: chick.js
  • Simple: simple.js
  • Nostalgia: nostalgia.js
  • MySkin: myskin.js

• Clear your browser's cache. See your monobook.js to learn how to to that.

Uninstall

• To uninstall Navigation shortcuts, delete all lines refering to User:Jsimlo/shortcuts.js from your monobook.js (or equivalent file if you use a different skin). Also remove all configuration from the rest of the file.

• Clear your browser's cache. See your monobook.js to learn how to to that.

Development version

This tool remains under development. The very latest version is available at User:Jsimlo/shortcuts-dev.js and it may see new features before the stable version. Be warned that it may break from time to time. If you do want to install it, type {{subst:js|User:Jsimlo/shortcuts-dev.js}} into your monobook.js (or equivalent file if you use a different skin). Do not forget to delete your current installation of Navigation shortcuts as they may interfere with each other, resulting in duplicated links.
