The editing toolbar is a versatile and very useful tool that can be used to make working on the wiki much easier. While the basic version (which is an option in your [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|preferences]]) has some use, the main benefit comes when you customize your toolbar. In this guide there are tested premade elements that you can use as well as guides to creating and modifying your own buttons, booklets, and dropdowns.

All modifications to the toolbar are made on your common.js subpage. To find your common.js page click on this link [[Special:MyPage/common.js]] and create the page (if you have not already done so).

All modifications to the toolbar are made on your [[Special:MyPage/common.js|common.js]] subpage. To find this page you can type out the url, or you can go to your [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|preferences]] and click on the redlink that will be found there if you have not yet created the page.
   
 
While modifying your toolbar can seem scary, once you get the hang of it, it really isn't a big deal. Anything you do can be easily undone so feel free to play around and experiment with different things.

Changes you make to your [[Special:MyPage/common.js|common.js]] page only take effect after you save the page, so to check that the changes you have made worked you should save your [[Special:MyPage/common.js|common.js]] page and try to edit some other wiki page. If you see the default toolbar when you edit a page that means that your edits "broke" your toolbar. Consult the [[#General Guidelines|#general guidelines]] for help debugging your code.
