How to install
An example is found at: http://www.appropedia.org/index.php?title=User:Chriswaterguy/monobook.js&oldid=33334
You can copy the text in that page to your own monobook.js page, do a hard refresh to clear your browser's cache (e.g. ctrl+F5?) and you should have the new editing tools above the edit box.
