Enhanced wikiHow Toolbar – wikiHow Plus
The wikiHow Editor’s Toolbar is a Firefox extension that gives power editors a few extra tools to track and improve wikiHow. wikiHow has had a toolbar for quite some time, but now Illyism has created an entirely new toolbar, based off the coding of the old toolbar. This is an unofficial toolbar, meaning that it was not created by a paid wikiHow staff member, although a number of people, including paid staff members, are now using this great tool.
New Features for the toolbar:
- Toolbar customization: With this new version, you can now customize the toolbar like you want to. Delete a few buttons, add some and rearrange them.
