This book is for wikibookian programmers who are interested in using Javascript to modify and extend the Wikibooks interface for personal use. We will cover some of the functions that exist in MediaWiki:common.js as well as other global javascripts, and how they can be used to make scripting tasks easier. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 18:39, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
