Russian Wikipedia was doing that for ages to
everyone's satisfaction.
The only problem is where to cram them in, but that's solvable.
Hebrew and Polish Wikipedias are doing it for ages, too, and probably some
other languages.
In fact, numerous people complained that VisualEditor breaks this feature.
Editors don't care whether it's a local custom gadget or something else -
for all they care, it's a feature and VE breaks it.
Anyway, it would be a lovely feature to productize and make available for
all languages, for both mobile and desktop interfaces. The code is
basically there - just take the gadget from one of the Wikipedias that
currently use it and package it as an extension.
