message: To add custom entries, adapt this code, and place it in your common.js:
// Add custom Character Inserter entries
window.charinsertCustom = { 
	"Insert": ' Mention: {\{u|+}}  {\{ping|+}}', 
	"Wiki markup": ' Mention: {\{u|+}}  {\{ping|+}}' 
};
that will append the  and  code to the indicated menus.
*Note1: The "+" in those items, is where your cursor will appear after the text is inserted, or if you already have text highlighted when you click them then that text will be properly surrounded by the templates. 
*Note2: You can also remove or change the word "Mention:" - anything that is followed by a colon seems to get turned into a heading - Use_underscores_for_multi_word_headings: like so.
*Note3: use a dot ( . ) for any spacing needed in such things as inline css class or id assignments. For example. -- the space needed between the words span and class in <span.class="plainlinks">+</span> 
*Note4: to include a single literal \ use four backslashes ( \\\\ ) (will appear as double-\ on menu display.) E.g. <math>\\\\scriptstyle{+}</math>.

replies: text: , can you format that in the style as currently used in the source esp. with the nbsp's etc ? It's a bit difficult to figure out what has changed here for me otherwise... —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 10:44, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

message: When a user is editing a Lua module or a templatestyles page, the normal edittools aren't particularly useful. What do people think of replacing it with a simple "cheatsheet" for the relevant programming languages, when such a page is being edited? --Yair rand (talk) 22:35, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

message: I missed long s from the Latin characters list.
It can be handy when quoting old texts.
Please consider including it.
Thanks to the customization instructions, I was able to do it for myself.
