[Mediawiki-l] Tables in Mediawiki

[Dave Sigafoos]

I might be wrong here but I don't have a MediaWiki:Common.js page.  'Go' nor 'search' find such.  And there certainly isn't a os level file called that

So .. did I get gypped or what?<G>

Paste the whole section into your own MediaWiki:Common.js, and wait... and cross your fingers!

When I did this, the buttons don't show up straight away -- but after trying a few edits, they eventually appeared.  On my main Wiki, it took even longer.

I figured out that this is a Firefox cache issue -- sometimes, Firefox doesn't recognize that ancillary files (like JS, or favicons) need to be updated.  Use "Tools" -> "Options" -> "Privacy" -> "Private Data" -> "Clear now" to clear your Firefox cache.
