Menubook

Menubook is a simple script that modifies the default Monobook skin to move the navigation toolboxes on the left side of the page to a set of dropdown menus along the top of the screen. This provides additional real estate for the articles, and is extremely useful for small monitors.

Features

Menubook can easily be turned on or off, and can easily be customized to select which portlets to be moved into the dropdown menu. The complete list is as follows:

Navigation
Search
Interaction
Toolbox
Print/Export
Languages
Views

Extensions

In addition to the standard features, Menubook comes with a small set of extensions providing dropdown menus for the following:

My Watchlist
New Pages
Unpatrolled New Pages (from the back of the log)
Recent Changes

Installation

To try out Menubook, add the following line to your monobook.js page:

importScript('User:Bradv/Scripts/Menubook.js'); // User:Bradv/Scripts/Menubook.js
