Changes: Help:Header shortcuts

Latest revision as of 09:35, 22 July 2022

Header shortcuts are the buttons located on the top right side of a wiki's header and in the sticky navigation bar when scrolling down. The header shortcuts are used to access frequently used tools, four of which will always be visible to logged-in users, with the option to see more when hoovering over the button with the three vertical dots. Logged-out users will only see three icons.
