How do I add "edit" text over the image button?

Is there a way to put text over the image? Where and to what do I add to the code?

2011

Adjusted code, thanks works very well

I have adjusted the code as follows.
In the localsettings.php I entered:
$wgBacktotoptext = "Back To The Top...";
require_once("$IP/extensions/backtotop.php");

Then adjusted your code to:

<?php
if ( !defined( 'MEDIAWIKI' ) ) {
        die( 'This file is a MediaWiki extension, it is not a valid entry point' );
}
 
$wgExtensionCredits['parserhook'][] = array(
    'name'=>'Edit Section Link Transform',
    'url'=>'http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Edit_Section_Link_Transform',
    'author'=>'Tim Laqua, t.laqua at gmail dot com',
    'description'=>'Replaces the [edit] EditSection link in articles with an icon.',
    'version'=>'1.0'
);
 
$wgHooks['ParserAfterTidy'][]  = 'wfEditSectionLinkTransform'; 
 
function wfEditSectionLinkTransform(&$parser, &$text) {
    global $wgBacktotoptext;
    $text = preg_replace("/<span class=\"editsection\">\[<a href=\"(.+)\" title=\"(.+)\">".wfMsg('editsection')."<\/a>\]<\/span>/i", "<span class=\"editsection\">[<a href=\"#top\">$wgBacktotoptext</a>] [<a href=\"$1\" title=\"$2\">".wfMsg('editsection')."</a>]</span>",$text);
     	    #return false;
#}
    return true;
}

Been looking for a way of adding back to the top button next to edit for a while now, thanks very much. Hope you didn't mind.

1.19.0

I use this function as "BackToTop" in 1.19.0. Thanks for create :-)

To adjust the

$wgHooks['ParserAfterTidy'][] = 'wfEditSectionLinkTransform';

in

$wgHooks['OutputPageBeforeHTML'][] = 'wfEditSectionLinkTransform';

and it is working. (Sorry for my broken English) --Speedy McCat. Keiner ist unnütz, er kann immer noch als schlechtes Beispiel dienen. (talk) 09:44, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

1.19.3

It doesn't seem to be working anymore. The edit like doesn't output the URL. Just a blank URL when it displays on page.

1.19.6

Edit 5-22-2013 . Same guy that complained above. I got it working now. Use code below. Check out my wiki for an example Dungeon Striker Wiki

<?php
if ( !defined( 'MEDIAWIKI' ) ) {
        die( 'This file is a MediaWiki extension, it is not a valid entry point' );
}
 
$wgExtensionCredits['parserhook'][] = array(
    'name'=>'Edit Section Link Transform',
    'url'=>'http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Edit_Section_Link_Transform',
    'author'=>'Tim Laqua, t.laqua at gmail dot com',
    'description'=>'Replaces the [edit] EditSection link in articles with an icon.',
    'version'=>'1.0'
);
 
$wgHooks['OutputPageBeforeHTML'][] = 'wfEditSectionLinkTransform'; 
 
function wfEditSectionLinkTransform(&$parser, &$text) {
    global $wgEditSectionIcon;
    $text = preg_replace("/<span class=\"editsection\">\[<a href=\"(.+)\" title=\"(.+)\">".
        wfMsg('editsection')."<\/a>\]<\/span>/i", "<span class=\"editsection\"><a href=\"$1\" title=\"$2\"><img src=\"".
        $wgEditSectionIcon."\" width=\"56px\" height=\"19px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"></a></span>",
        $text);
    return true;
}

Timeless skin

MediaWiki 1.31 now contains the new "timeless" skin embedded in the standard tarball distribution. This skin uses its own icon for editing, a pencil on the right-hand side of every headline. Additionally the "EditSectionLinkTransform" adds its icon, so we have two icons. I think when using the timeless skin, it'd be the best the extension does nothing. --Alzi24 (talk) 11:52, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
