This is a list of feature requests for the new Wikipedia PHP script.
Looking at mis-spelled search requests for 'Circumsision', 'Circumsicion', 'Circumsission' and 'Lamberghini', we should probably use something like Soundex or Metaphone to search for a sound-alike article if a literal search fails. Note that recent versions of PHP have a metaphone() function built in.
See http://www.zend.com/manual/function.metaphone.php for more details.

If several changes have been made to an article and I go to the History list, I would like to have a way to see all the diffs at once, the net change to the article since I last saw it. With the old software, I'd have clicked on the "diff" link corresponding to the first change, which would have displayed the difference between the original and the current version. The new software (I think?) forces me to click on all "diffs" separately to get a sense of the net changes. AxelBoldt
