I like that. I hope you can take it to a full extension.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Edit-in-place

I think this was gone over before, and the consensus was not to use  
it on wikipedia; but I still think it would be an awesome feature to  
use with mediawiki - perhaps to replace the double-click-on-a-section- 
to-edit-(a-prefrence-option-availalble-only-if-you-have-javascript)  
functionality. I've been looking at it, and here is my simple example:
http://meta.enterwiki.net/ajax/
But as to how to integrate that into mediawiki, I don't even know  
where to begin. So, lets get some interest in this, and figure out  
where to begin. We *could* implement a simple edit box and a save  
button, but what about warnings and a place for an edit summary and  
all that? So what I was thinking, was to load the entire content of a  
normal edit page, into the page right there under the section. Save  
could reload, it doesn't have to submit through HTTP request (Though  
it could I guess) - preview however, should RE-replace the edit box  
and warnings and stuff with a preview, but leave the 'save' button  
there - and replace the 'show preview' button with an 'edit more'  
button or something. Just spewing thoughts right now - any comments?
