== Many scripts are now made available as "gadgets" ==

Many scripts can be added to your account from [[Special:Preferences/{{myprefs|Gadgets#preftab-9]]}}, such as:

* '''[[User:Cacycle/wikEd|wikEd]]''' - replaces your edit window, and adds lots of editing features, like search and replace, local show changes and preview (i.e., they bypass the server), etc. I've been using it for about a week, and have found its search/replace features ''very useful''. There are some annoying bugs, but the script places a convenient activation/deactivation button at the top of your userpage, so you can switch back and forth between using it and the default edit window. I prefer to use WikEd for search and replace operations, but I still rely on Firefox's default edit window for cutting and pasting (WikEd's bugs make cutting and pasting difficult).
