Hi fellow MediaWikians,
I'm trying to compile a:
"see this on a MediaWiki screen, edit it ... HERE"
... listing for MediaWiki administration. Can anyone link me to a list that addresses these on-screen MediaWiki words and their synonyms, and shows where to edit/control their appearance ... or, failing any existing published documentation, perhaps we each could take what we know on put it on mediawiki.org and then share a link here in response to this post? Thanks!
- on-screen "navigation" ... = MediaWiki:Sidebar ... = http://%7Byour wiki's URL}/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar
- on-screen "search" ... = (synonym?) ... = place to edit/control it
- on-screen "toolbox" = ... = (synonym?) ... = place to edit/control it
... and so on for ALL editable page elements in a MediaWiki installation.
Thanks!
- Peter Blaise ... still at it, still fighting for a real server, but in development nonetheless, sharing an intranet MediaWiki from my workstation!
Um... good luck with that.

Install a utility like Firebug for Firefox and enable it. That will allow you to see every element on the screen and see what bit of CSS it uses. Useful if you want to change the skin in any way. It will also allow you to see any other HTML/CSS/Script stuff you can search for in the various php files that make up Mediawiki.
