The TopLink extension adds a "Return to top" link at the bottom of each page to jump back to the top of the page.

Installation

  • <translate> <tvar name=1>Download</tvar> and place the file(s) in a directory called <tvar name=name>TopLink</tvar> in your <tvar name=ext>extensions/</tvar> folder.</translate>
  • <translate> Add the following code at the bottom of your <tvar name=1>LocalSettings.php </tvar> file:</translate>
    wfLoadExtension( 'TopLink' );
    
  • File:OOjs UI icon check-constructive.svg <translate> Done</translate> – <translate> Navigate to <tvar name=special>Special:Version</tvar> on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.</translate>

Note

A link like this can be created with internal links syntax, i.e. [[#top|Return to top]] which however needs to be added manually to a page, e.g. via a template.
