[Mediawiki-l] More help with Character Box needed

Dear Rob, Many thanks for you're your quick reply! I followed the directions exactly as listed on: Read http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CharInsert First downloading the "CharInsert.php" and placing it into a new folder "CharInsert" in the Extentions sub-directory. Then I downloaded the file "Wikibits.js", replacing the existing one in the "/Skins/Common" folder. Finally I opened and modified my "LocalSettings.php" to include, at the bottom, the line: require_once("$IP/extensions/CharInsert/CharInsert.php"); and then replaced the existing file on my server with the newly modified one. However, nothing seems to have changed. What have I done wrong? I then thought that I might manually alter the "MediaWiki:Edittools" page on _my_ Wiki itself and copy the existing source code from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Edittools Unfortunately, my own "MediaWiki:Edittools" page is locked and I don't know how to unlock it. Any recommendations? Many thanks again! Your help is really appreciated.

These alter the mwCustomEditButtons global array to add the buttons themselves; read your skins/common/wikibits.js file.
