Forum:On the wiki area

With the Extended Wiki Navigation, it adds so much more. But sadly, you can't just edit O the Wiki with the MediWiki page you do it. Like the Terraria Wiki or Club Penguin wiki, they modified the section. How do you do that, with a staff or what? MyCool 64  My Official Wiki  Wiki II 07:30, November 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * I think it is a mediawiki page. SpadeThrow37 08:44, November 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Best if you ask an admin on one of those sites how they did it. But unfortunately Wikia staff have made it very clear in the past that they do not allow editing of that section in any form. I know several wikis that have changed that section when the new navigation was first introduced in Wikia Labs and then had their changes undone by staff and the ability to edit that section was taken away. I'm not aware of any change in WIkia policy since then, but it would be very nice if we could customize that space somewhat. 12:45, November 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * I believe you can add a Recent Changes button beside the Wiki Activyt, but I don't know how to do it. http://images.wikia.com/central/images/a/ac/Lachlan5963.png   13:20, November 24, 2012 (UTC)

 * Exactly how long in the past was that? Because fairly recently they have indicated that it is permitted. -452  17:13, November 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * No, sadly On the Wiki can't be edited without epic JS and policy-dodging. Cat (meow ∙ hunt) 21:18, November 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Who told you it was policy dodging? -452 17:13, November 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Adding extra links to the On The Wiki tab is currently permitted.
 * Find a wiki which has extra links, and check their MediaWiki:Common.js to see how they do it.
 * I did it by looking at: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js -452 17:13, November 25, 2012 (UTC)
