Description:
I was using gmail one day to mail the Wikipedia-I mailing
list when I saw the spell check link. This gave me an
idea: MediaWiki should have one. I will explain my
understanding of the gmail spell check feature, becuase I
liked it so much. You click a link (in MediaWiki, it
could be a button in the toolbar), and it highlights all
the unknown words in the text box. When you click on a
highlighted word, a box appears with a list of
suggestions. If no suggestions are available, a box pops
up that says "(no suggestions)". It uses javascript, so
it's not like a new window, just a new box. If anybody
has gmail, please check this out and see if it would be
good for mediawiki. Just compose an email, type some
random words with errors, and click spell check to see
what i am talking about. If anyone wants an invite to
test this, I can give you one. I hope a lot of people
like this idea. Thank You, Shardsofmetal.
