Re: [Wikitech-l] Disambiguation while editing
2009/10/1 Lars Aronsson l...@aronsson.se In the edit box, when I type [[John Doe]], I want some chance to verify that I'm linking to the right article, whether it is a disambiguation page, or by seeing the first sentence from that article. I know I can preview my edit and click that link to see the page (or ctrl-click to make it appear in a new tab), but that method just seems sooo 2002. Is there some tool, button or gadget that does this trick? Perhaps some greasemonkey script? What it would do: From where the cursor stands in the edit box, search backwards for a [[ and then forwards to the following | or ]] which ever comes first (this covers the case that the cursor is inside the link brackets). Look up that article, show the first paragraph or 150 characters in a pop-up. If I click a link in the pop-up (a top link, or a disambig page), replace the link in the edit box so it points to that article. The Navigation popups[1] has partially a functionality that does these: if you select a link in the edit box it will display the first part of the article in a popup; after saving if you hover over a disambig or redirect link, you can choose to fix it with one click. I don't think it is possible with it to do this fixing right from the edit box.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Drafts extension in testing
Hi,There seems to be an issue with the extension: It seems when I saved a draft after editing a section, the draft was considered a draft of the corresponding section number (it was mentioned as Article#Section name in the list of drafts). If the given section was removed, clicking on this saved draft I received the error that section number 6 doesn't exist, and thus it could not restore the draft. Changing the page, to again contain at least 6 sections, restoring the draft was possible, at the cost of removing the new section that has replaced it. I believe that this is not really user friendly, even if this is intended behaviour. (You click on a named section and receive a raw number (of the section) in the error message; without any help message or the possibility to restore the text of your draft is someone changes the page in the mean time in an unexpected way).

I would support this, I think it's better to have non-MOS compliant articles with footnote marks that actually lead to the footnotes then faulty articles. Experienced users, and indeed bots, could than see to MOS-compliance. Later, a possibly an enhanced version of this feature could work like the pywikpedia bot for the same task:having a list of sections where the references tag could be added, and if there is one found, than the tag is placed inside it, if not, the references are placed in a new section entitled References [or whatever is the first on the list of prioritized names].
