WYSIFTW (formerly WYSIWTF) is a JavaScript-based tool originally written by Magnus Manske. Its primary purpose is to make it easier to edit wikipedia articles, especially for people unfamiliar with the intricacies of MediaWiki syntax (the vast majority of the planet, in case you forgot :-). This is achieved by creating a full-screen editing interface where the user can edit "augmented wikitext", that is, wikitext that has some "ugly" parts folded away by default, inline display of images etc. It has been tested on en.wikipedia, but should work elsewhere as well.

Installation

You can install WYSIFTW yourself to test it. Just add the following line to your "vector.js" user subpage:

document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://toolserver.org/~magnus/wysiwtf/wysiwtf.js"><\/script>');
