Line 9:

The script can be used as a [[bookmarklet]] with the following address:

<div style="width:95%; overflow:auto; border: 2px solid #088">

<sourcesyntaxhighlight lang="javascript">javascript:(function(){var d=document,s=d.createElement('script');s.src='//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:V111P/js/webRef.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&smaxage=43200&maxage=86400';d.body.appendChild(s);})();</sourcesyntaxhighlight>

</div>

Line 21:

* In Firefox click on any bookmark in the bookmark menu. (It will be more convenient if you turn on the Bookmarks toolbar from ''View/Toolbars/Bookmarks toolbar'' and create the bookmarklet there.) Select ''New Bookmark'', enter a name (for example ''WebRef'') in the Name field, enter the script given above in the address field (Location).

* In Internet Explorer you can create a bookmark of any page in the usual manner (Add to favorites), then right-click it in the favorites menu, choose Properties, enter the JavaScript given above in the URL field, change the name (in the General section) to ''WebRef''.

* In Google Chrome and Opera (Windows and Linux) - press Ctrl+D and then the button Edit (for Chrome) or Properties (for Opera), and change the name to ''WebRef'' and address as forto the otherscript browsersabove.

* In Google Chrome (Mac) – press Cmd-D then the button More, and change the name to ''WebRef'' and address as forto the otherscript browsersabove.

There is a second set of instructions further below if you have problems with these.

Line 51:

* In your '''favorite browser''' open any web page that you ''haven't'' bookmarked yet. Make a bookmark -- I put mine on the Bookmarks bar for easy access.

* Right-click the new bookmark and in FireFox go to Properties, in Chrome or Opera to Edit. You'll see that the first line is headed Name and contains the name of the webpage you just bookmarked. Replace the name of the webpage with whatever makes sense to you, I called my bookmark ''Wiki WebRef''.

* The second line is called Location or URL, depending on your browser. Delete the URL that is in it so that you have a blank line. Go to your other browser and copy '''copy the entire text in the green box'''. Then go back to your main browser and paste this into the Location or URL line of the bookmark. It will look like it won't fit, but it does.

* Hit Save and you are done!
