Hi,
I am using MediaWiki 1.4 beta-6 and the monobook style sheet. I want to remove the links Community portal and Current events, and add a google link beneath the search box. I tried following the document http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Customization:Quickbar which tells you to edit defaultsettings.php.
Never edit DefaultSettings.php - as its name suggests, its for the *default* settings, not your customised ones. All customisation should be done in your LocalSettings.php file, which is executed later, and therefore over-rides the defaults. I've added an extra reminder to this effect in the page you read, although it did already say "...and copy it to LocalSettings.php"
