Releases/Babaco

From Wikipedia Usability Initiative

The second release, Babaco, will be deployed to Wikipedia and all Wikimedia sister projects as a user preference soon. The following features have been targeted.

• Navigable table-of-contents

A new feature in the editing interface which shows an article outline next to the textarea. This outline updates itself in real-time as you type, provides links which when clicked will jump you to the start of each section in the article and shows at a glance where in the article you are currently editing.

• Content generation dialogs

When creating links or tables, clicking the tool icon now opens a dialog box which will help you to create wiki-markup by filling out a simple form. When creating links, the link suggest feature offers auto-complete options for articles which are similar to what you are typing, and the internal link-validation feature lets you know if the link you are creating is for an existing page or not. The table dialog automatically generates wiki-text for tables based on a given width and height and lets you add a header row with one check of a box. Also new in this release is the find and replace tool which also opens as a dialog.
