Wiktionary:Bookmarklets


 * See also: Help:Tips and tricks/Bookmarklets - Contains core bookmarklets!

A Wiktionary bookmarklet is something that a Wiktionarian has found so useful, they have created a bookmarklet for. Any task that a sysop finds himself doing over and over again is a likely candidate for being bookmarkleted. The idea is to use your browser to do a little bit of the grunt-work.

The method of using a bookmarklet, is to first create a bookmark (that points anywhere, for example, this page) then change the title to something appropriate, and the location to be the javascript code below.


 * Note: In all cases, the Javascript must be pasted in as one single line, in the "location" of the bookmark.
 * Note: In Firefox, you can use Ctrl - and Ctrl + to increase and decrease the font size, to get it down to a single line you can cut-n-paste.

On Firefox, move your bookmark to the "Personal toolbar folder" to make a "Button" of it. In IE, move it to the "Links" folder, and turn it on via View, Toolbars, Links.
