MediaWiki talk:Monobook.js

What is the use of this message? Each tooltip had a message formerly. I tried to give a translation in the Spanish Wikipedia (es:MediaWiki:Monobook.js) but something is broken and now the tooltips are not shown there. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. ManuelGR 19:06, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)
pref system/ access key update
- accesskeys and tooltips moved to js, needs to be customized/localized at MediaWiki:Monobook.js (copy everything below /* tooltips and access keys */ from [1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=-&action=raw&gen=js). Saves many calls to wfMsg, reduces page size, shows access key prefix depending on browser/os. Easy to customize in your own Monobook.js by changing the ta array.
- skinphptal underline and justification wired up to produce generated css- users have to adjust their prefs to get the default Monobook behaviour unfortunately
- MediaWiki:Monobook.css used for anons as well (-> underlined for them now)
- addcss call removed from header
- separate js var file included that holds things like the stylepath and the tooltip/accesskey array
- rtl css included from generated css
Translators: Many translated accesskey-XY and tooltip-XY messages need to be moved to the Monobook.js array, they are now deprecated. The remaining ones might follow soon.
I also changed the wording and key of the 'clear your cache' message as it's now also displayed above the prefs as well. A new string is qbsettingsnote.
To get the new files, a reload might be necessary (the usual reload in moz, ctrl-f5 in IE/Opera, cmd-r in safari). -- Gabriel Wicke 15:02, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Tooltip for the "+" tab
Currently, the tooltip for the little "+" tab, which adds a section to a talk page, reads "Add a comment to this discussion". This is misleading for new users, however, since replying to somebody else's comment is also "adding a comment to the discussion", and this is not what the new section feature is intended for. The result is that new users who are not used to talk pages will add a heading just to say "yes", or somesuch. Here's an example (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Talk:Yahoo%21&diff=6054127&oldid=6048814).
Perhaps we could reword it to "Add a new section to this discussion page", or "Add a new heading to this discussion page", to highlight that a)individual comments don't usually have headings and b)the page is not necessarily one discussion. Thoughts, anyone? - IMSoP 14:56, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
