Forum:Missing Editor Toolbar

After years of smooth operating, it's been a few days that the standard Editor Toolbar doesn't appear anymore when editing an article at the Star Wars Galaxies Wiki.

This one:

It resulted in 90% less images uploaded to articles, because the plug and play tool isn't available anymore. As an oddity, I can see that very toolbar while typing this, right now. Would it be a bug or an unappropriate configuration? FYI, I'm using Firefox 3.6.13. Thanks for your help. --SWG-Warcryer 07:55, January 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's probably a MediaWiki 1.16 thing. I'd try to help, but unfortunately I can't see your picture because the computer I'm using dislikes images uploaded to Wikia. Check your wiki-wide CSS and JS files for anything that might be messing with the toolbar. Since you have firefox, you can download Firebug, which is a free application that lets you examine the source code of a webpage by element. That should help you troubleshoot what code is messing with the toolbar.


 * Tagging Staff needed, but you could also use Special:Contact. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 12:29 PM PST 26 Jan 2011


 * Now that I'm on my other computer and can see the pic, I know what you mean - the toolbar seems to have been replaced by a google maps button. Odd.


 * Thanks for the feedback, I'll drop a Special Contact message as well. I'll just add that when switching to the Rich text Editor, it works properly. Well, with that other Editor Toolbar that is. --SWG-Warcryer 22:18, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

(unindent) I don't know about you, but my toolbar is back to normal. I would still send a Special:Contact message to be safe, but they may have fixed it.


 * No, still a no go for me. I asked one of our admins to investigate as well since he's pretty good in Wiki coding and setup, so maybe he'll attempt a fix. Also sent a message to Special Contact. Thanks again for your help. --SWG-Warcryer 22:49, January 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Problem fixed, Staff Needed flag removed. One of our admins, Servian, toyed with the MediaWiki:Common.js file. There was something in it conflicting apparently. For the record, this file wasn't changed since september 2008 so it's more likely that the MediaWiki 1.16 had an impact of sort. More details on what we did to fix the issue here (edit article to see the code). Thanks again for the help, and Grunny as well. --SWG-Warcryer 01:05, January 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Here is a link to the change. I'm not positive, but I think only the first few lines really needed to be removed, but we'll see what the fallout is of removing all that code. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 5:44 PM PST 26 Jan 2011


 * I did a little more searching and found a site that told another person to replace the top 3 lines with importScript( 'MediaWiki:Functions.js' ); which probably fixed the overal problem. Servian 15:32, January 27, 2011 (UTC)
