I am trying to configure the "External Edit" feature in MediaWiki from [1]. One of the things mentioned (recommended) in there is to put the following piece of code in User's .js file:

addOnloadHook(function() { var editTab = document.getElementById("ca-edit"); if (!editTab) return; var editURL = editTab.getElementsByTagName("a")[0].href; addPortletLink("p-cactions", editURL + "&externaledit=true", "EE", "ca-exted", "External editor", ""); });

I am assuming that I might have to put this code in User's standard.js file [2].

How do I access my personal standard.js file?

My User page is accessible as follow: http://myserver/wiki/index.php/User:TechGeek

Thanks

If you are using monobook skin that would be http://myserver/wiki/index.php/User:TechGeek/monobook.js If you are using vector skin, http://myserver/wiki/index.php/User:TechGeek/vector.js and so on. There will be a common.js but that's not on a release yet.

Note that you can also choose "Use external editor" in your preferences (but if it's not configured it will look like a download!).
