When you are logged in, it lets you place a number of your most commonly used tools - the edit, rename, history, and delete pages, to name a few - right on the toolbar so they are only a click away. Tools you select will appear on the toolbar when they're actively available for use (for example, "Delete" will not show up when you are on Wiki Activity).

When you are [[Help:Logging in|logged in]], you can edit the toolbar to add links to your most commonly-used tools so they are only a click away.

*Your toolbar is very customizable. Clicking "Customize" brings up a dialog box with the Find A Tool search field on the top and the Toolbar List on the bottom. It also has all of the system defaults, to help you if you delete one and then forget how to get it back.

*You can use the "Find a Tool" search box to begin selecting tools. Simply type in the name of a page you want to use and click it in the drop down menu, which will add it to the Toolbar List. For example, typing in "History" will produce a history link in the search box, which you can then click on to add to the Toolbar List.
 
*You can also click "Popular Tools" to produce a list of commonly used tools, and click the "list of advanced contributor tools" link in the upper right to see a [[Help:Toolbar/List of available tools|list of all of the tools available]].
 
*Each item you put into your Toolbar List can be altered or removed. If you hover over the name in your Toolbar List, you will see a pencil icon, a trash can icon, and two arrows. This allows you to rename the item (pencil icon), delete the item (trash can), or move it up and down (arrow icons).
 
*To save your customization, click the "Save" button.
 
*The "reset defaults" link resets the toolbar and My Tools folder to the system default.
 
*If you add more tools to the toolbar than space allows, a "more" menu will appear in front of the My Tools menu with the extra tools.

The toolbar is a bar on the bottom of your screen that appears on all pages on Fandom wikis when browsing in desktop mode. It will follow you as you scroll on a page, and it can be shown or hidden by clicking the arrow in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Customizing

Toolbar customize dialog

When you are logged in, you can edit the toolbar to add links to your most commonly-used tools so they are only a click away. Some examples include the edit, move, history, and delete tools. The tools you select for the toolbar will only appear when they're available for use on the page you're viewing; for example, "Delete" will not show up when viewing Special:RecentChanges.

To customize the toolbar, click the "Customize" link. A dialog box will appear with a search field at the top and the list of currently-displayed tools below it. To restore the default toolbar, click "reset defaults" to the top-right of the "Toolbar List". To save your customization, click the "Save" button. If you make a mistake, you can click the "Cancel" button to exit without saving your changes.

To add tools to the list, type the name of a tool you want to add into the "Add A Tool" search box, then click the tool in the drop down that appears. You can also click "Popular Tools" and click the ones you wish to add to your list. If you add more tools to the toolbar than space allows, a "more…" menu will appear in the toolbar. A link to the full list of available tools is available to the top-right of the "Add A Tool" section.

Hovering over a tool in the "Toolbar List" will show an edit icon to rename the tool, a delete icon to remove it from your toolbar, and a drag selector to move the tool before or after other tools. You can also rearrange tools into the "My Tools" menu to create a menu in your toolbar. The "My Tools" menu will always appear at the end of the list and cannot be removed or deleted; however, if the menu does not contain any tools, it will not appear in the toolbar.
