Is there any way to have a small floating navigational link on the bottom right corner of each page on the wiki that takes us to the top of the page? The anchor exists already. All we need is a link to the anchor "#top".
Another thing: the existing "top" anchor link on each page doesnt take you to the absolute top. It goes near the top, but not TO the top.

I have this magical button on my keyboard. It's called "Home", and when I press it, my web browser shoots up to the top of the page.

My awesome button doesn't have that problem.

Huhuhu.
But, to be honest, most voice UA and hand held device don't have that button :)
I use that too, but we're requiring the typical user to switch to the keyboard from the mouse - a kind of user interface problem. It would be nice to have a single click "top" link right on the screen. Maybe I'll look for a DIV layer with the "top" link and put it into the skin files, etc.

Hello Eric,
Just modify your skin file so that you have an anchor at the very top of the page, right underneath the <body> tag. Then add in a div with position: absolute and position it as the user scrolls with JavaScript. You might want to make it invisible if the user can see the top of the page.
There are many tutorial on how to do this online, but if you have any specific questions I would be more than happy to help.
