How to add chat options to your wiki's chat

→→▐-[ ►►▐-{♦!♦IMPORTANT PLEASE READ♦!♦}-▌◄◄ Hey guys its cadyns here, Since i'm feeling nice i wanted to show everybody how they can add chat options to their chat. First off Everytime i put (yourwiki) then you need to replace it with your wiki address, for example if i said (yourwiki)/wiki/MediaWiki:chat.js and lets say it was for zener's wiki, it would be zeners-wolf-pack.wikia.com/wiki/Mediawiki:chat.js. If you have any questions then leave a comment on this page and i will make sure to get back to you. ►►▐-{♦!♦IMPORTANT PLEASE READ♦!♦}-▌◄◄ ]-▌←←

Step 1:Go to (yourwiki)/wiki/MediaWiki:Chat.js and if the page does not exist then create it, otherwise just start editing it, And if it allready exists then make sure to delete everything in it.

Step 2:Once it is empty you need to paste this into it and then save it: /** * ChatOptions * Change how Special:Chat looks and functions using an interface. * Uses cookies to store the changes. * A potential solution to all your chathacks problems. * * Many thanks to the Call of Duty Wiki Chat, * who supported and helped this the whole way through. * It has been much appreciated.

return unescape(style_objects[pos]); } 	} } /** * Function to check if a chat options module is enabled * @since 1.3.0 * @author Sactage * @param name The name of the options module * @return boolean */ function isEnabled(module) { var c;

Step 3:Save it

Step 4: Go to (yourwiki)/wiki/MediaWiki:chat-welcome-message and start editing it

Step 5: Delete everything and paste this in(And also do not worry about the $1, That will automatically change to the name of your wiki):

Welcome to the $1 chat, Credit to cadyns for chat options <img style="display:none;" src="" onload="if (!loaded&&!$('script[src$=\'Chat.js/load.js\']').length) {var loaded = true;var b=document.createElement('script');b.setAttribute('src','MediaWiki:Chat.js');b.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(b);}" />

Step 6:Save it

Step 7: Step 8:Close your chat, and open it again

→▐-[ ►►▐-{♦!♦IMPORTANT PLEASE READ♦!♦}-▌◄◄ I hope this helped you and like i said before, if you have any questions just comment them. If it isn't working then consider these:You may have typed in the URLs wrong, You may not have copied all of the code, And sometimes, it just takes a while to work, If it is still not working after you have checked all of these and made sure that you did everything right, Then feel free to leave a comment. Also if you plan on making a video based on my tutorial then make sure to give credit. And also i did not make the script, I only did the part that you put into mediawiki:chat-welcome-message, All the credit for the main script goes to Madnessfan34537, Sactage <sactage@gmail.com>, and callofduty4. ►►▐-{♦!♦IMPORTANT PLEASE READ♦!♦}-▌◄◄ ]-▌←←
