Wikipedia:Gadget/evaluation

Rules

(This is only a first attempt, feel free to edit these if you disagree with any or want to suggest new ones)

1. Gadgets must work if just included with no further configuration. (They may be configurable via monobook.js, but must work even if not configured.)
2. Gadgets must work in all major browsers.
3. Gadgets must not be so powerful that new users using them would be likely to cause disruption by mistake.
4. Gadgets must be in MediaWiki space. (This is a technical restriction, although it exists for good reason; it can be fixed simply by moving scripts to MediaWiki space, although the permission of the script's maintainer, if any, should be found first.)
5. Gadgets must not require their own source code to be edited to update them.
6. There must not be multiple gadgets with the same apparent effect.

Scripts

Navigating to Edit page
Add edit section 0	Adds 0 tab to edit the top section of the page
Simplified edit section 0	Adds 0 tab as above; simplified version, works better on Safari 3

Editing
wikEd	A full-featured in-browser text editor for Wikipedia edit pages. Works in Firefox/Mozilla only. Provides wikicode syntax highlighting, regular expression search and replace, MS Word and HTML to wikicode conversion, server-independent Show preview and Show changes, fullscreen editing mode, and single-click fixing of common mistakes
