Remove Incoming Links from the Wiki Tool Bar

You can customize the tool bars that appear in your SharePoint site. In this post we will look at the Incoming Links hyperlink that appears on the Wiki Edit bar.



The file that controls this display is the DefaultTemplates.ascx control. It is located in the ControlTemplates folder. The full path is 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES'.

Open this file in either Visual Studio or notepad. I don't recommend using SharePoint Designer as you will most likely mess up the file when you save it.

After you open the file, locate the WikiMiniConsole. You should now be able to see the WikiIncomingLinkButton. Here all that is needed is to add a visible attribute and set it to false. (visible = "false")




Now do an IISRESET and review your page.
