In reading the docs on editing http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Table it shows that there is a 'table' button available.
If I bring up a page and press edit this does not show. In fact nothing after 'straight' line shows up.
This is a recent download / install so my question is "Where's the beef"
Thanks

see the source code at : http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.js
(look for "Insert a table")

Paste the whole section into your own MediaWiki:Common.js, and wait... and cross your fingers!
When I did this, the buttons don't show up straight away -- but after trying a few edits, they eventually appeared. On my main Wiki, it took even longer.
I figured out that this is a Firefox cache issue -- sometimes, Firefox doesn't recognize that ancillary files (like JS, or favicons) need to be updated. Use "Tools" -> "Options" -> "Privacy" -> "Private Data" -> "Clear now" to clear your Firefox cache.

To make your buttons appear immediately, you need to clear your local browser cache.
From the 1.9.3 screen:
"After saving, you may have to bypass your browser's cache to see the changes. Mozilla / Firefox / Safari: hold down Shift while clicking Reload, or press Ctrl-Shift-R (Cmd-Shift-R on Apple Mac); IE: hold Ctrl while clicking Refresh, or press Ctrl-F5; Konqueror:: simply click the Reload button, or press F5; Opera users may need to completely clear their cache in Tools→Preferences."

To make your buttons appear immediately, you need to clear your local
browser cache.
This caching problem should be fixable. I suggest:
1. Appending your own version string onto $wgVersion, and update it every time you release. 2. Append the version string onto every JS and CSS file reference, e.g., /foo/bar/mystyles.js?v=1.9.3.local.17

I might be wrong here but I don't have a MediaWiki:Common.js page. 'Go' nor 'search' find such. And there certainly isn't a os level file called that
So .. did I get gypped or what?<G>

It won't exist by default, or will be blank. Edit it (creating if necessary) and add the desired JavaScript, then save and hard-reload.

Thanks, that did it.
Is there a listing somewhere of all the pages that don't exist?<G>
Can I just *assume* that when someone says something like xyz:pagename that If I don't have it I can just create it (with what ever information is being suggested)?
Lots to learn .. and thanks

Dave Sigafoos:

Yes! ;-)
The MediaWiki: namespace is special: it's essentially a configuration database, mostly for Wiki messages, but also for style sheets and other stuff -- like JavaScript -- that gets sent to the client.
You can see a listing of all the MediaWiki: messages by going to Special:Allmessages. Each entry is an "article"; if one doesn't exist, a default value is used. Most of them won't exist initially, like Common.js, and hence use their default values -- in this case, blank.
Ian
WOW!
