Toolbar customization
Recently, I've been working on an extension (JS, not PHP) to the WikiEditor interface (see User:Xbony2/common/toolbar.js). Hopefully, when complete, it can be part of the wiki for all users to have if desired.

This idea is something that I quite honestly one hundred and ten percent stole from the unofficial wiki (just the idea, not the code). It makes it easy for new users to use templates without needing to research through other pages and incomplete wiki guides. Anyway, this is what it currently looks like; obviously, it's missing icons. I am slightly lazy when it comes to finding icons, so I'd like to avoid finding icons before having consensus on what buttons should even be on the toolbar; that way I don't need to throw any icons out of the window. The current button list is (in order): These are templates that should be generally useful for new users and beginning editors; this really isn't aimed at experienced editors like me and other staff, who know the names and usage of these templates by heart. Anyway, what templates should be included, and what templates should be excluded? -Xbony2 (talk) 15:58, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Infobox
 * Infobox mod
 * Cg/Crafting Table
 * Cg/Furnace
 * Gc
 * O
 * T
 * S
 * Pn
 * P
 * L
 * Disambiguation
 * Stub
 * Cleanup
 * I quite like that. Can you show some examples of what appears when you actually press those buttons? I'm mainly interested in Gc, and the Infoboxes, though. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 22:33, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Why did you put everything in pre? Putting the ending in post would make some of them so much easier to use. Like having  in pre and   in post for example makes them so much better so that you can start typing straight from the middle where the template name is going to go anyway.

 * Gc: (referred to as "Item" in the "Grids" group)


 * Infobox: (referred to as "Block/Item" in the "Infoboxes" group)


 * "PAGE_NAME" is the actual name of the page being edited, in this case "Feed_The_Beast_Wiki:Centralized_discussion" was inserted in its place.
 * Listing all of them would be tedious, so for more you'll want to refer to the code or maybe enable it yourself. -Xbony2 (talk) 23:07, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Chocohead: I don't know that was an option actually, but I'll look at it. -Xbony2 (talk) 23:09, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Modified. -Xbony2 (talk) 23:16, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Update: I've added images for everything. I'm too lazy to list all of it, so look at User:Xbony2/common/toolbar.js or just add it to your common.js.

A few images are in the Curse cache of hell- Block/Item should be an Electric Furnace, Mod should be a Wrench, Item should be an Electronic Circuit. These are all images from Vanilla or IC2, because I wanted to maintain consistency. Thoughts? Ideas? -Xbony2 (talk) 00:30, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I think we should stick purely to Vanilla. --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 00:33, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Vanilla doesn't really have enough items to well represent the used concepts. I chose IC2 because it's pretty well known in the modded community, and this is a modded wiki. -Xbony2 (talk) 00:40, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, and I changed Cleanup to a Painter. -Xbony2 (talk) 01:07, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
