The buttons on this page interfere with MarkS's editbutton script. Is there an easy way I can suppress the script at Common.js? The only way I can think of is by enclosing the script at Common.js with a statement like if(mediaWikiCommonJsButtons!='no') { button script } and adding var mediaWikiCommonJsButtons='no'; to my personal script page.

Can you think of any alternatives to my proposed solution? Karl Dickman ^talk 00:11, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Adding mwCustomEditButtons = false to your monobook.js should do the trick. —Ruud 00:22, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't work: your solution also kills Mark's editbutton script. Karl Dickman ^talk 16:36, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

How about this change. If I make it, it won't break anything, will it? The main problem with your solution, as I said in the previous comment, is that it kills any other editbutton script. Karl Dickman ^talk 17:57, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Try adding mwCustomEditButtons = {}; just before including MarkS' script in your standard.js. I'd try to avoid adding more global variables unless really necessary. —Ruud 16:52, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Nope, that didn't work either. And FWIW, I tried two different ways of adding the variable to Common.js today (see the page history), but neither of them worked: both killed all editbuttons. Karl Dickman ^talk 01:21, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Would you care to take a look at User:Karl Dickman/standard.js, see if I did anything wrong? Karl Dickman ^talk 01:22, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Here's another possible way to kill the additional buttons: find some way to enclose them in a <div> tag with an id. Then, I can suppress the id of that tag using my CSS. Karl Dickman ^talk 17:02, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
