Forum:Editing the "Add a Page" button


 * Hi, does anybody know change the "Add a Page" button so that it links to | this page instead opening that pop-out window?
 * Also is there a way to do that with the "Add a Photo" button as well?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * There is, but it violates the ToU. While your creation setup is easy to navigate and smoothly circumvents the need for LayoutBuilder, it isn't the 'standard' way of doing things, so you can't force it wiki-wide. You can do it for just yourself, but that essentially defeats the purpose.
 * Then how is Lyric Wiki allowed to do it?

 * Lyric wiki's buttons still work, but they suggest that you preload a template. Also keep in mind that they have over a million pages - they're one of or the largest wiki, and exemptions have be made for large wikis in the past. For example, WoWWiki has a wider content area, which anywhere else would violate the ToU.

 * Oh well... =P
 * Are you allowed to change the preloaded new page templates that this window links to? For instance, the standard layout button adds "&action=edit&useFormat=1" to the editing page's address; is there any way to change those buttons and what they add to the address?

You might find this thread interesting. MediaWiki:Newpagelayout is the the layout page for the "Standard Layout" but the top 10 thingy is new for me. Have you added it yourself? Sovq 11:56, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
