On the English Wiktionary we are currently trying to
implement via Templates, CSS, JavaScript, and toolserver,
various improvements needed by a dictionary above what is
provided by MediaWiki. We currently have nobody capable of
creating MediaWiki extensions so this is our only avenue.

There are many occasions where we can think of a solution
but can't implement it because we can't retain information
between page views. If there was a way for custom
JavaScript scripts to read and write new cookies not in
general use on other MediaWiki sites, we could make many
improvements.
