On any page on WikiStory, there are three areas of the page which can be used to navigate around the site:

  1. The sidebar on the left gives you access to important and useful pages on the site such as Recent Changes or Categories.
  2. At the top of the pages are tabs (which are links) which relate to the page currently displayed. Tabs links to an associated discussion page, a reviews page, the version history, and the edit link.
  3. In the top right corner you will find author links; as an anonymous user, you will see a link to create an account or log in (they are the same page). As a logged-in user you have a collection of personal links, including ones to your user page and preferences.

Sidebar

The sidebar is displayed on the left edge of the page below the site logo (if using the default MonoBook skin). This sidebar gives you access to important or useful pages on WikiStory such as "Recent changes" or "Categories".

Clicking on the logo brings you back to WikiStory home. The links in sections just below the logo will take you to important pages of the site.

The toolbox contains a selection of links which change depending on what type of page you are viewing.

On all pages (except special pages):

  • What links here takes you to a special page that lists the pages on WikiStory which contain a link to the current page.
  • The Related changes tool lists all recent changes in the pages linked to from the current page. Recent changes to all relevant template pages are included in the resulting page list. The "Hide minor edits" option that can be set in the user preferences applies, among other things, to Related Changes.

Page Tabs

The page tabs are displayed at the top of the article to the right of the site logo (if using the default MonoBook skin). These tabs allow you to perform actions or view pages that are related to the current story, poem, plot, or character description. The available default actions include: viewing, editing, reviewing, and discussing the story, poem, plot, or character description you are viewing. The specific tabs displayed on your pages depend on whether or not you are logged in and the namespace of the page (Administrators have additional tabs). On Special pages only the namespace tab is displayed.
