Introduction
This is a script written by me, that uses Greasemonkey to enhance the wiki's functionality in Firefox. It was written mostly for personal reasons, but figured it might be usable by others as well.

Added functionality
In order of implementation:


 * Fullsize image view
 * As an example, take Image:Map Jade Sea.jpg. Note that when you click on the image since you want to see it in full size, you get sent to the actual image. I wanted it to stay on the current page, and just enlarge it, while keeping the UI.


 * Faster watchpage adding
 * Add pages to your watchpage without getting sent to the confirmation page. I think this is best described with an image. (Note: This also saves minor bandwidth since only the watchpage's header is received, not the whole page)
 * [[Image:gwiki-tools watchpage add.jpg]]


 * Del.icio.us link nicely blended in with the UI, for fast adding to del.icio.us
 * Opens external links in new windows (or tabs if that is what you have set Firefox to do)
 * Note: Links to Wikipedia, Wiktionary, etc, are not considered external unless they are implemented as external links (ie, Wikipedia, Wiktionary).

Things needed

 * Mozilla Firefox 1.0+
 * Greasemonkey

Installation and Configuration

 * Install Firefox and browse to the Greasemonkey webpage
 * Install Greasemonkey
 * Restart Firefox
 * Browse to [/wiki?title=User:Galil/gwiki-tools.user.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript this page], copy the contents and paste it in a text editor. Save the file as gwiki-tools.user.js. Browse to this file with Firefox and click the button labeled "Install" in the toolbar that appears at the top. After the confirmation, you can remove the file from your harddisk.
