MediaWiki User Guide: Editing toolbar
From NWN1 Custom Content Guide
(Applies to all Wikimedia projects, except here on meta)
In compatible browsers, an editing toolbar is automatically displayed with the edit box, provided that this has been set in the preferences. The functions are partly a typing aid, partly a reminder of required formats.
Example of how to use it:

To make a piece of text an internal link, select it and press the third button.
In Mozilla and IE you get a select+click formatting, and if you click without a selection, it inserts sample text at the cursor. In other browsers, clicking on the button presents an explanation for each feature in an infobox.
If you do not want to display the toolbar, you can obtain some of the functionality of them using the Editing toolbar bookmarklets instead.
