Look at function editForm() in includes/EditPage.php. However! Examine carefully, if it may be added via a hook, it should be done so... -- X Windows: You'll envy the dead.

You can just paste the html and javascript into the MW message that is inserted under the edit page textarea. I can't remember the exact message off the top of my head but I think it's one of the ones with "copyright" in the message name. John Blumel

It does not work in 1.4.x series, tried that myself :) -- X windows: The software with no visible means of support.

It does not work in 1.4.2. In fact it worked when I added the box (div html element) and a simple message (p html element) but it didn't since I added a link. The "<" and ">" are converted into the html entities < and > Weird.

It works under 1.4. It should be valid Wikitext (_Not_ HTML). If you need to insert JS, you can write a simple extension to do it. (Or change the sitewide JS.) -- Jamie ------------------------------------------------------------------- http://endeavour.zapto.org/astro73/ Thank you to JosephM for inviting me to Gmail!

New subject: [Mediawiki-l] Couple of bugs?

1) If you upload a big file that already exists, you don't get the warning about overwriting, answering "Yes" to the size warning overwrites. 2) False "edit conflicts" when editing a section and edits are made to the section heads. Actually this kind of makes sense, since there must be some sort of "place marking" when only a section is edited. For example, edit the last section and put a new section at the top of the edit, bumping the original down. I didn't realized that I wasn't logged in when I did this, and was only able to save my changes by: * copying the changes * abandoning the article * logging in as sysop * navigating to the article and pasting the changes into a fresh edit (using v1.3.?)
