Here I am again, Feeling stupid because.....

I want to make a thingy on my wiki that allows users to find a page, If they can't find it. Here is the exact page:http://carstoys.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Help-Finding-1. As you can see we have a drop-down, You can access it here: http://carstoys.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Help-Finding. I verbatim'd the MW: w:c:carstoys:MediaWiki:Help-Finding-Value.js onto the MW:Help-Finding page, Thinking it would work. So here's a basic description of what I want: When someone selects one of the characters from the drop-down, A little text pops up that shows the link to that page. Seems pretty simple. On the MediaWiki drop-down when one of the options are clicked, It changes the "option-value" to the name they selected.

So I thought that

if var="mater"

console.log("Mater")

But it didn't work. I verbatim'd the "if var=" thingy onto the drop-down MediaWiki page. Please tell me what I can do to make this work!
