There are examples at http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolbar_customization ; these currently don't mention how to add/modify special characters entries, I'll add examples for that as well. > And the embed file (picture) button inserts > this: "[[Example.jpg]]", without any "File:" or "Image:"! That's a bug, thanks for reporting it. > 3) The search and replace button is available in firefox, but does not > appear at all in opera. Why? Because Opera is broken is subtle ways that make it very difficult to get S&R to work right. We could either enable a broken version of S&R in Opera and be yelled at because it corrupts wikitext (very bad) or disable the feature in Opera (less bad). In the future, S&R should work in Opera as well. > 4) Currently the new navigable TOC does not work on FF/Opera at all > (I've tried those). > That's deliberate, the TOC requires the iframe, which was disabled because of copy-paste issues. We're also not enabling NTOC as a default feature, so this is irrelevant. > Not too early for live deployment? > Your list consists of a trivial bug (missing File: prefix), a feature (protecting Opera users from text corruption) and the disabling of an unrelated feature that's not slated to go live in April, so I wouldn't say it's too early.
