Wikipedia:Puggle
Puggle is an in-development external editor/parser for MediaWiki content. The motivation for this editor is to have an editor that "deeply" understands MediaWiki and can suggest fixes, and offer refactoring. It's a plugin for JetBrains' IntelliJ, there's a free "community edition" online. This is currently being developed by Drewmutt. Feel free to add desired features below.
Current Features
- Syntax Highlighting
- Collapsing for references and templates
Current Issues
- Table parsing not complete
- Some special characters will cease lexing
Desired Features
- Autocomplete the insert of templates and possibly list optional fields (Suggested by CycloneIsaac)
- Template inspector (a bit like "Inspect element" in Google Chrome) where the tool would identify which template(s), LUA script(s) or css is responsible for a specific part of the template. (Suggested by とある白い猫)
