Line 442:

==== Edittools ====

There is another edit panel under textarea. Usually it is generated from [[MediaWiki:Edittools]] by [[mw:Extension:CharInsert|Extension:CharInsert]] and consists of a lot of JavaScript links. In the English Wikipedia, this approach was replaced by [[MediaWiki:Gadget-charinsert.js]] and [[MediaWiki:Gadget-charinsert-core.js]].

==== Automatic and semi-automatic editing ====

You can automate the editing of a page using the following code template:

<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript" copy style="min-width:fit-content; max-width:40%;">

mw.loader.using("mediawiki.user", () => {

$.post( mw.config.get('wgScriptPath') + '/api.php', {

action: 'edit',

title: "[Page title]",

text: "[Text]",

summary: "[Edit summary]",

token: mw.user.tokens.get('csrfToken'), // This is the user token required to authorize the edit.

format: 'json'

}).then(function(r){

if (r.error) {

mw.notify(r.error.info, {type: 'error', title: 'error.'}); // Sends an error message if unable to edit the page.

}

});

});

</syntaxhighlight>
