I hope I'm posting in the right place. I've written a javascript tool that modifies the small edit links that appear at the right of each section header to open the edit form for the section inline (without going to a separate page). The "Show preview" and "Show changes" buttons also work exactly as they would normally. After clicking "edit", the link changes to a cancel button. Clicking "Save page" has the normal result - the entire page reloads with the changes. To try it out, add this to your monobook.js:
inc("User:Supadawg/secedit.js"); inc("User:Supadawg/util.js");
function inc(path) { var lt = String.fromCharCode(60); var gt = String.fromCharCode(62); document.writeln(lt+'script type="text/javascript" src="/w/index.php?title='+path+'&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"'+gt+lt+'/script'+gt); }
Leaving out the inc() function if you have it already, of course. It's tested and working on Firefox 1.5, and not working on Internet Explorer 6.0, and only on the English Wikipedia. If you can read javascript, I've tried to comment the code enough to make it understandable, but it's still a little messy. If anyone could give me some feedback, I'd be very grateful.
