Wikipedia:Back to top
Essay on editing Wikipedia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If you'd like a "back to top" button to appear alongside the section headers in articles, just add the following code to your user Javascript or your common Javascript:
$( function () {
var elems = document.getElementsByClassName('editsection'); // *** NOTE: ClassName may need to be 'mw-editsection' instead
for (i = 0; i < elems.length; i++) {
var span = document.createElement('span');
var link = document.createElement('a');
link.href = '#top';
link.appendChild(document.createTextNode('back to top'));
span.appendChild(document.createTextNode('['));
span.appendChild(link);
span.appendChild(document.createTextNode('] '));
elems[i].insertBefore(span, elems[i].firstChild);
}
});
