There's also SkinTemplateToolboxEnd which is hideous but existed before BaseTemplate. So ideally use BaseTemplateToolbox, unless you happen to have an ancient pre-BaseTemplate skin that's still hardcoding the toolbox. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/BaseTemplateToolbox https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/SkinTemplateToolboxEnd On Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:39:42 -0700, Beebe, Mary J <[email protected]> wrote: > I am using the Vector skin.
