User:Juxo/Wikipedia software ideas

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)
