User blog:ChuckTerry/Bookmarklets and URL Parameters

I'm cleaning up my Wiki folder & profile. So have an information dump ion the form of a blog post :)

Bookmarklets
Bookmarklets allow you to execute javascript by clicking a link on your bookmark bar. These Bookmarklets remove any current URL query and add a new one. To add one of these to your bookmark bar:
 * 1) Drag the Dummy Link to your bookmark bar.
 * 2) Highlight the Code and copy it (ctrl + c)
 * 3) Right-click the newly created bookmark and hit Edit.
 * 4) Paste the Code Into the URL field of the Edit screen.  AND you're done.

URL Parameters
Also known as URL Queries, these are what makes the above Bookmarklets work. They are an addition, or multiple additions, to the end of a normal URL. This addition tells the server what you want to do. For instance /wiki/Gilgamesh?action=edit&section=3 tells the server that you want to edit section 3 on the page Gilgamesh. Instead of posting the massive list here, you can find it at Help:URL Parameters.
