Wikiversity talk:FAQ/Editing/Editing toolbar

Where can I find this toolbar?
It looks familiar, but when I'm editing, the toolbar has buttons for bold, italic, sign/time, link, embed, advanced, special characters, help.

All I can think is that perhaps the toolbar shown here is obsolete. I notice it shows a signature button that is different from the current one, but familiar nonetheless.

I arrived here from the page Help:Formula which says that Math markup goes inside $$ ... $$. The edit toolbar has a button for this. Not only can I not find the button, but sadly the box below the editing area which has a bunch of wiki markup is missing the math tag.

Am I right to suppose the toolbar shown here is no longer available, or is it selectable via an option I've missed?--Alkhowarizmi (discuss • contribs) 09:13, 29 March 2016 (UTC)


 * See meta:Help:Edit toolbar for current documentation. The image on this page is from 2006. Unfortunately, the image the official documentation has is from 2004, so that doesn't help, either. There are toolbar customization options available, but I haven't researched them. If you use the VisualEditor, there is an option to insert a formula. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 12:48, 29 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks! That would be ironic, using VisualEditor to write markup! Anyway, you started me on a path that led me to finding the customisation to add the button via my local JS. For anyone passing by that is interested, its a matter of ...

 * edit/create User:YourUserName/common.js (there's a handy link in your User Prefs Appearance tab)
 * paste code from mw:Extension:WikiEditor/Toolbar_customization
 * paste code for the button from mw:Extension:WikiEditor/Toolbar_customization/Library (that of course is for the maths button - there are others available on the same page)
