This was _so_ confusing to me as a newbie. There are a lot of references to common.js but only a few that explain that you don't create a file in the skins directory, but just create a page in your wiki by that name.

So, if your mainpage URL is like this: http://my.wiki.host/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Create a new page with this name: http://my.wiki.host/wiki/index.php/MediaWiki:Common.js

Paste the java script into this page.

Best reference I found to explain this: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/mediawiki/94365

I also have a new installation of mediawiki.

I do not have a Mediawiki:common.js!

What is needed and how do I implement it?

Thanks, Ralph
