Forum:Wishlists for wikimania

Unfortunately I wont be able tomake it to wikimania. Thought it might be worth while collating our wishlist for future features so the lucky ones who are going can represent us. To kick of my wish list includes:


 * Non Wiki style discussion with message board structure as people often forget to sign, add a new headline or to reply using : to indent. It might also be better to disallowing editing other users discussion posts. Muffin 21:18, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Software that would allow for a selection of pages  to print together
 * Software that would allow for a selection of pages to become a slide show for lecturing
 * Special page showing list of images not yet uploaded
 * Small scratchpad above edit box where you could put say a template name you were using a lot so that when you clicked it it inserted the text at the cursor.
 * RSS capability on Watch page.
 * Ability to take links out of a number of pages at once. (eg a lot of my pages have 20th century as a link and I would like to unlink them all without going to each one individually.)
 * Ability to send message to all active users at once. eg to congratulate them for their efforts at a particular milestone or to raise a particular point of style. Rather than just putting it on Community portal where they might not see it so regularly.
 * Some coding that attracts search engine bots. It seems that wikis are at a disadvantage in the ranking stakes?
 * Spellchecker before saving!!!!!
 * I would like to be able to clear my watch list and to be able to have the option to turn off the watch tick on the edit page.

This is a great idea. Maybe others could add to this list and also mark ones they like of others suggestions - that way we can see which are the most popular -- sannse (talk) 15:50, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
