Techniques: Software: MediaWiki: Customization

Modifying the Menus

The text which shows up in the menu bar (at left in monobook) may be edited through the wiki itself. What you need to know is the name for each link. To edit the contents, you navigate to the page named MediaWiki:linkname. You will need to be a sysop in order to edit the text. To get a list of links and other text which can be customized, go to Special:Allpages (on the wiki in question), select "MediaWiki" from the "namespaces" drop-down, and press "Go".
