1240861 - Add sidebar link to all formatting options

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: wiki.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Kyle Lahnakoski [:ekyle]]

Every time I edit the wiki.mozilla.org I must Google search for a comprehensive wiki formatting page: Really, I end up at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting

Please add this link on the sidebar (`<div id="mw-panel">`) or link to something just as comprehensive.

There is currently an "Enhanced Editing Toolbar" available to users when creating/editing a page. This has a "Help" option that shows the syntax for most of the usual mediawiki markup formats.

To enable this a logged-in user should click on Preferences then Editing and then ensure "Enable enhanced editing toolbar" is selected as shown in the screengrab above. Be sure to click on "Save" towards the bottom of the page to commit any changes.

I think this removes the need to have a link to Mediawiki help.
