Introduction
The menu editor is used in various menus of the wiki ― for example in the main navigation ― to set up navigation links. An edit link appears at the end of each menu when you focus on the menu.
View the general introduction to the main navigation.
If you have set the navigation type to MediaWiki Sidebar or Extended MediaWiki Sidebar, the navigation links are created using the menu editor.
To open the menu editor:
- Click Edit sidebar at the end of the navigation links. This link will become visible when you hover over existing links. If the page doesn't yet exist, a corresponding note will appear and you can create the page.
Editing the default links
A new wiki already has some links created by default. These are displayed as system messages and reference pages with the same name in the MediaWiki namespace (to support the user languages). The entire menu or individual menu links can be deleted.
Show for groups
In addition, the visibility of a menu item can be limited to certain wiki groups. Enter a comma-separated list of existing wiki groups in the "Show for groups" field.
Css classes
You can also apply css classes to any item for custom styling options. The styles need to be defined on the page MediaWiki:Common.css.
