<br />______Next "semi-paragraph": Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text

<br />When I use six spaces (instead of the underlines used above) to begin a new "semi-paragraph" (a break not as strong as a &lt;p&gt;) Wikipedia leaves the paragraph unformatted. IMO it was better not to use &lt;pre&gt;text&lt;pre&gt; automatically. And I wonder why <a href="xxxx">xxx</a> doesn´t work, why it can´t become automatically translated to Wikipedia syntax. Sporadic writers like me may want to use simple things like target="_blank" - things that don´t spoil consistency nor security - why not implement better filtering? I see you´re coding Wikipedia in PHP now, so performance should not be a problem.

<br />Another thing I´d like to have is modification dates, in an extended view mainly for writers. And tables or div layers to paint colors were cool, maybe even transparent colors (CSS?) to show overlapping and several sucessive changes. [[User:Grasso]]

* A link to [[How does one edit a page/Quick reference]] from the editing page, to avoid me having to dive through the [[FAQ]] every time I can't remember a special character -- DrBob

** Seconded. Though in fact the quick reference is now on the main [[Wikipedia:How to edit a page|How does one edit a page]]. -- Tarquin

* The SEARCH field and button should be located at the top of the page, just like with search engines, because it feels more intuitive that way. At least the main page should have the SEARCH code in the upper part of the page. -- TrishankKahuna Karthik"Pierre" Shanx

**Absolutely! The first thing I want to do if i go to Wikipedia is looking for some word. The way it is now, I always have to scroll down (yeah, my window is small...)
