* 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. | * Client-Side Accelerated Wikifying.

**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. | **Make things even more intuitive and advance correct spelling by including '''nonexistent, but already linked to article names''' in the hashtable.

***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.'' | |||
