This is what we hope to improve.<BR/>Thanks,<BR/> GerardMGerardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14287269079265427282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213477776700864204.post-53512522739471123852009-02-24T12:35:00.000+01:002009-02-24T12:35:00.000+01:00You need CharInsert, you need to have the characte...You need CharInsert, you need to have the characters listed in the expected format in the relevant system message (MediaWiki:Edittools I think), plus you need to run the javascript on every page load that inserts the dropdown. You can accomplish that either by adding it to MediaWiki:Monobook.js or MediaWiki:Common.js (if you want it to work in all skins), or if you have it in a sepatate js file, you have to load it from monobook.js or common.js (this is normally done with "importScript(Edittools.js);").<BR/><BR/>If you want all this from an installer, and backwards-compatible with earlier MW versions, that will be a pain in the ass: importScript has been added recently, common.js did not always exist either, MediaWiki:Edittools used to contain only {{Project:Edittools}} to avoid a bug with templates in charinsert tags, and so on.Tgrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721596880513583987noreply@blogger.com
