Help:Widgets



Widgets are boxes that can be dragged-and-dropped onto the Monaco sidebar, containing a set of links or functions that may be useful for your wiki.

They can be added to the left-hand navigation sidebar, or accessed through the Widget Dashboard, and you can arrange the widgets to suit your preferences.

Adding widgets
To explore and add widgets, choose "Manage widgets" from the bottom of the drop-down list in your user bar at the top of the page.

You will see a row of icons appear at the top of the article space, the "widget carousel", which you can scroll left/right. Click the green "+" icon next to a widget to add it to your sidebar, and close the bar using the red "X"

Alternatively, you can visit Special:Widgets. This list also behaves like the widget bar - you can click the green "+" button to add items from this list to the sidebar.

Using widgets
The wrench icon is used to customize settings, and the up/down arrows expand and minimize widgets. Clicking on the 'x' in the right corner closes out the widget.

Widget dashboard
The Widget Dashboard is a special page where you can arrange any or all the widgets you want to review at one time to get a quick snapshot of what is happening on your wiki - it provides more space for you to work with than the sidebar. To add widgets to this page, add widgets to your sidebar, then drag them to this page.

Visit it at Special:WidgetDashboard, and read more at Help:Widget Dashboard.
