Description

Mediawiki currently has a "toolbox" that appears in the left nav of many pages containing page-specific links such as:

• What links here
• Related changes - JAMWiki doesn't support this, and I don't think it's used enough on other wikis to be worth including.
• User contributions
• Upload file - This isn't page specific, and probably doesn't belong in a toolbox.
• Special pages - This isn't page specific, and probably doesn't belong in a toolbox.
• Printable version
• Permanent link

Until now JAMWiki has used tabs for these functions, but with today's commit of "User contributions" the tab bar is beginning to get a bit crowded and it might make sense to begin using a toolbox in JAMWiki.

Proposal

I don't have a lot of time at the moment to describe this feature, but I would imagine it would be pretty easy to add a "toolbox" parameter to the WikiPageInfo object, and that parameter would simply contain an array of WikiLink objects. We could then move the "Print" and "Links" tabs to the toolbox, and for user pages could also include the "Contributions" link.
