Feature_requests
Features of Wikipedia software (Usemod wiki software) that somebody would like to see, someday:
Automate making old-style links into Free Links
Automatically-generated NewTopics page
Count and publicly display (somewhere) two or three different numbers of Wikipedia pages that are longer than various particulars lengths (to give a more realistic idea of how many actual pages are on the wiki, as opposed to redirection pages, tiny stubs, etc.).
InsertPagesIntoOtherPages
The wiki software could be written so that, for example, if I write <code>andy jewell</code>, <code>Andy jewell</code>, <code>andy Jewell</code>, or <code>Andy Jewell</code>, the page linked to will always be <code>Andy_Jewell</code>. In that case, one would be able to capitalize or not in the text of wiki articles at one's pleasure, and only the titles of articles would look strange (in some cases, e.g., <code>Ich_Bin_Ein_Berliner</code>). But that situation would be preferable to the current situation, in which some people are capitalizing second and third words of article titles, when, in referring to the subject of the article, one doesn't ordinarily capitalize those words. (For discussion, see naming conventions.) -- Larry Sanger
