    * Client-Side Accelerated Wikifying. (CSAW) Something like client side cache of '''all article names''' with '''few first lines of wiki code''' from each article, stored in a persistent, periodically updated hashtable and some sort of enhanced editing window (Java applet?), that automatically highlights '''possible wiki-links''' when writing them and then when I write double braces around something a hoverbox shows the first lines of the link target, so that I can be sure of pointing to an article that is in the context I would otherwise have to guess it is.
    ===[[m:HACSAW| Highly Avantgarde Client Side Accelerated Wikifying]]===
    **This would reduce load on Wikipedia: No need to load full articles, just to check if it is the article I guess it is. Example: [[w:LTD]] has no mention of being a private incorporated body in British English. Applicable to Wikipedia and other sites that utilize links to Wikipedia.

    **Autocorrection of linking to redirection articles to the final target (?)
    **Some guru types could write code that guesses matches. Examples:
    ***Detect verbs and convert them to '''possible links''' to the matching noun.
    ***Detect plurals and conjugations and convert them to '''possible links''' to the singular, unconjugated article match
    **Make things even more intuitive and advance correct spelling by including '''nonexistent, but already linked to article names''' in the hashtable. This would reduce the amount of unnecessary manual labour (link correcting) after a previously unexistent article has been written, since the name can be sort of negotiated even before the article exists... or something.


    ***Trolls ask ''How about barcodes corresponding to Wikipedia article names, so that one swipe brings up that URL?  Then you could put stickers on everything.  [[Consumerium]] could really use that, obviously.''

    m:Pedianary


    For Wikipedia and Wiktionary interaction

    • Automatical link from Wiktionary article to Wikipedia article or notification that there is no article on this subject in Wikipedia.

    For Wikipedia

    • New wiki syntax for marking up geographical references, which would make it possible to do geographical searches (heavy, heavy performace hogger, but leading the way into future for the rest of the web. This geographical indexing would require a new machine(s)). See m:Geospatial reference
    • Downloading/Uploading your Watchlist. Multiple watchlists: Private and group watchlists. This would be useful:
      • with a watchlist merger tool so that groups (such as Consumerium developers), who want to keep an eye on articles of common interest, could download and merge their Watchlists occasionally.
      • Multiple named watchlists would allow formation of Emergent Knowledge collections
      • This could even spark up a match-making site where people are matched according to their watchlists ;)
    • A new preference, that edits under 1 line automatically go to the Summary (performance hogger, I know)
    • New Special Page: List of external links sitewide

    For Wiktionary

    • The possibility to set a default Summary text, like I would use "+fi", cause I'm competent to do only Finnish translations. This should be disabled in Wikipedia since it might incite people to spam in their Summaries.
    • The possibility to filter recent changes with the following clauses:
      • Track recent changes, where language XYZ is not present in the document (For finding places to contribute)
      • Track recent changes, where a line containing language string "XYZ" has been added or modified in the modification (For checking other peoples contributions)
    • Search for pages where language string XYZ does not exist. (For finding places to contribute)
