About This Gadget

This gadget allows you the editor, in some situations, to create special "insert" links using regular wikitext. Insert links are only used on edit pages. Clicking an insert link will cause text to automatically be inserted into the edit window. This helps for situations where many pages need to be created for a single book/project, and standard sets of boilder-plate code need to be inserted.

To use this gadget, you must have a way to be able to load wikitext to an edit screen. There are a few ways to do this:

Use the &editintro= URL argument, to specify a page to be loaded above an edit window.
Use the editintro= argument to an <code><inputbox></code>.
Use javascript to load these links on an edit page

None of these tasks are particularly easy. If you have a project and would like to use Edit Insert links to help make common tasks easier, ask Whiteknight for help.
