The toolbar is a vertical bar present at the bottom of all Memory Alpha pages when viewed on desktop. When it is hidden, it displays as a wrench icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen. Clicking on this icon expands it, revealing a toolbox of links, with an X at the right end that can be used to collapse it.
Features[]
The toolbar can be found at the bottom right of every page. It may be collapsed or expanded. By default, it includes a Watch/Unwatch button, the My Tools menu, a "Customize" button, and a "Shortcuts" button.
- Pages in your watchlist will show an "Unwatch" button allowing you to remove them from your watchlist, while pages not in your watchlist will show a "Watch" button to do the opposite.
- Hover over the text that says "My Tools" to access the My Tools menu. By default, "View history" and "What links here" are already in this menu.
- You can add links to and remove links from the toolbar via the "Customize Your Toolbar" popup window, which can be accessed by clicking on the "Customize" button.
- Click on the "Shortcuts" button to open a popup window displaying Fandom's keyboard shortcuts.
Customizing[]
When you are logged in in, you can edit the toolbar to add links to your most commonly-used tools so they are only a click away. Some examples include the edit, move, history, and delete tools. The tools you select for the toolbar will only appear when they're available for use on the page you're viewing; for example, "Delete" will not show up when viewing Recent changes.
To customize the toolbar, click the "Customize" link. A dialog box will appear with a search field at the top and the list of currently-displayed tools below it. To restore the default toolbar, click "reset defaults" to the top-right of the "Toolbar List". To save your customization, click the "Save" button. If you make a mistake, you can click the "Cancel" button to exit without saving your changes.
To add tools to the list, type the name of a tool you want to add into the "Add A Tool" search box, then click the tool in the drop down that appears. You can also click "Popular Tools" and click the ones you wish to add to your list. If you add more tools to the toolbar than space allows, a "more…" menu will appear in the toolbar. A link to the full list of available tools is available under the "Add A Tool" section.
Hovering over a tool in the "Toolbar List" will show an edit icon to rename the tool, a delete icon to remove it from your toolbar, and a drag selector to move the tool before or after other tools. You can also rearrange tools into the "My Tools" menu to create a menu in your toolbar. The "My Tools" menu will always appear at the end of the customization list and cannot be removed or deleted; however, if the menu does not contain any tools, it will not appear in the toolbar.
