Lunarpedia:Offsite Links In Sidebar

Step 1.

Determine the offsite page you wish to link to. Copy an save the url.

In our case we wanted to link to the Moon Society Member Registration page, aka the Join the Moon Society page. The url for that page is http://www.moonsociety.org/register/

Step 2.

Decide the display text fohttp://www.lunarpedia.org/skins/common/images/button_math.png Mathematical formula (LaTeX)r your link.

Well, that was a tough decision, should we call it Registration, or Membership or what. But someone pointed out that there was already a link there called "Join the Moon Society" so used that because it was already typed.

Step 3.

Having determined out url and our link text, the next challenge was to put them in the right place in the right order.

Well, the place is simple MediaWiki:Sidebar

If you go to that page and click on View Source or Edit (depending on how much we trust you) you will see something like this:

* Navigation
** mainpage|mainpage
** Special:Categories|categories
** Index-url|Index
** recentchanges-url|recentchanges
** randompage-url|randompage
** Special:Search|complex search
** helppage|help
<!-- ** sitesupport-url|sitesupport -->
<!-- ** join|Join the Moon Society -->
** Join the Moon Society-url|Join the Moon Society
