[Mediawiki-l] Enabling Javascript/the *.js files [Was: A More Advanced Editing Toolbar]

[Azurite]

Despite all my efforts, I haven't found any information regarding when 
either common.js or monobook.js were implemented.
I tried putting the fixes to get a more advanced editing toolbar in my 
monobook.js skin, but I still saw no changes, even after clearing my 
cache and refreshing the page. I'm wondering if I have to enable 
JavaScript in the localsettings.php as Jack Pond suggested, or if 
there's something else I can do to get the more advanced editing toolbar 
buttons available to me. Any ideas?
