How to Enable JavaScript for MediaWiki

Greetings,

I am using MediaWiki 1.15.1 for my wiki site.
I'd like to know if JavaScript is enabled by default. If not, how to enable it?

The reason I am asking this is ...
If I create my monobook.js at wikipedia and add "{{subst:navpop}}", it automatically converts after Save. But for my wiki site, it doesn't. And none of my js for my wiki seems working.

BTW, my wiki site is a virtual web server from my ISP. Is this a problem?
Any idea is greatly appreciated,
Ross

It is enabled by default. Only thing you need to worry about enabling
js for users.

Instead use [[MediaWiki:Monobook.js]] or Common.js, depending on if
you want it skin-wide.

Regardless of the enabling of js, this should have nothing to do with
your problem. Are you sure [[Template:Navpop]] contains anything?
Otherwise {{subst:navpop}} will fail.

No.

It converts automatically after save on en.wikipedia because there,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Navpop does exist.

For your wiki, place on the page
importScriptURI("http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/popups.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript");

You may need to set $wgAllowUserJs = true; on your LocalSettings.php for
it to be loaded.

Re: How to Enable JavaScript for MediaWiki [In reply to]

Thanks Platonides.

I know what you mean about the template now. So, I copied the Template:Navpop from wikipedia to my wiki.

But I can't understand your meaning of "place on the page". What page, and where should I place to?

Thanks again,
Ross

Re: How to Enable JavaScript for MediaWiki [In reply to]

Thank you, Svip.

I doubt my JavaScript is enabled because I couldn't see the "Gadgets" tab from Special:Preferences as described in the link below , even though the Collection extension is installed and working.
Here is the link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation_popups

Thanks again,
Ross

On your monobook.js
Or Template:Navpop if you want to "install" it using "{{subst:navpop}}"
The code of Template:navprop on won't work on your wiki because it
imports [[User:Lupin/popups.js]] from your local wiki. The code I gave you
importScriptURI("http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/popups.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript");

directly imports from the copy at enwiki. You can alternatively copy it
to your site.

You don't see a Gadgets tab on your preferences because it's an
extension http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Gadgets
