Purpose of the mod
Version 2 adds up to 2 Wikipedia links to the person's inner menu.
 |
When clicked these links open in a popup menu.
 |
This mod harvests all links from notes and sources on the individual page. It creates a "Relevant links" section on this page just above the SOURCES section, in which it places a summarized list of all links on the page. The purpose is to give easy access to all page links that are otherwise spread out across sections. It is probably most useful to folks like me who liberally add links in both sources and notes. For sources it adds a link to the actual source in the list of page links. It does not do the same for notes but displays them in a flat list.

Languages
To use in a language other than English you need to put this text in the cust_text.php folder corresponding to your language.
$text['sourcelinks'] = "Source Links"; $text['notelinks'] = "Note Links";
Edit and change the text in quotes.
(For English users, this text is included in the cust_text.php file. To alter it just copy (don't edit or change where they are) to a lower position in the file and change the words as you wish.
