Help talk:Custom edit buttons

Why might they disappear after being installed?
I added about a dozen to Genealogy, told "everybody", and was greatly enjoying using them, then they disappeared. I didn't change any preferences, and they are still on the file where I put them: http://genealogy.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js. — Robin Patterson (Talk) 11:23, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It looks like the is doing it - if you see http://genealogy.wikia.com/index.php?title=-&action=raw&smaxage=0&gen=js&useskin=monaco the template is somehow being inserted into the js. I don't think this should be happening, so it's likely a fix on our end. Until then, removing that one may fix it. Kirkburn (talk) 15:49, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Why doesn't the global.js work for me?
My Central Wikia /global.js has been edited as suggested. Cleared cache. Went to genealogy Wikia and cleared cache there. Still no luck. — Robin Patterson (Talk) 05:30, 3 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Your global js may take a short while to update - is this still a problem? Kirkburn (talk) 15:39, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Help needs updating
With the new look I believe the places to store .css and .js files have changed. Can someone update this to point new look users to the right places. Also remove the outdated information or at least warn that it is outdated. AFAICT User/Wikia.* has to be used for things to be noticed. Is this right? Rej Maddog 03:51, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

How to remove the default buttons?
I want to replace the buttons with ones that adapt better to the skin. How do I remove the old buttons? There must be some Wikia changes because the scripts from Wikipedia do not work. Can't you just replace the outdated with your new round design from the visual editor or mw:Extensions:WikiEditor? Matthias (talk) 12:23, October 6, 2012 (UTC)
