Bug reports
[edit]Doesn't work for me
[edit]I am using the vector skin. I added {{subst:navshortcuts}} to my common.js, but nothing happened, even after hard refresh and purge. Please help. I know the best wiki (talk) 15:02, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
- It looks like Template:navshortcuts got deleted, and apparently this is not the first time. I guess whatever was on that page was not clear enough about the fact that it is in fact meant to be substed? Perhaps the author should just host it in their userspace? —SamB (talk) 19:39, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

External links in sidebar
[edit]It would be nice that also external links like http://... would work in Navigation shortcuts. By the way, nice tool now I need to find out how to remove unwanted parts from the sidebar. --84.156.79.115 (talk) 16:31, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Navi shortcuts on top
[edit]I've played a little with Navi shortcuts and found out how to remove the boring standard elements and put Navi shortcuts on top of the sidebar. Such a thing could be extended and controlled by a global variable where users can choose between diffrent options. --84.156.93.137 (talk) 11:47, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

vector bug
[edit]just an info:
"panel" should be changed to "mw-panel" to make it work with vector skin at User:Jsimlo/shortcuts.js at
if (skin == 'vector') { var sidecol = document.getElementById ('panel'); // <-------- put 'mw-panel' here } else { var sidecol = document.getElementById ('column-one'); }

Query strings
[edit]Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 127#Special:WhatLinksHere currently discusses a change [1] which means that query strings no longer work. They worked before although it may not have been a deliberate feature. PrimeHunter (talk) 17:31, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
