Once Mediawiki has it's proposed API fully implemented
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/API>, ajax tools will be able to do very
interesting things indeed. Currently about the most advanced tool
available are Navigation popups
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation_popups> - apart
from that there's CategoryTree
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CategoryTree>. I believe that there
might also be some Greasemonkey scripts around which do some interesting
things, but I haven't looked into them much.
