Description

Mediawiki should have better find-and-replace programs while editing. There is currently no easy way to find and replace text while editing in source mode; while the visual editor has quite a good find and replace program (with regex), that cannot match templates, etc., and makes it difficult to run simple find-and-replace searches on a page. While bots and Auto-Wiki-Browser can do this across multiple pages, not all users have access to these tools, and might have difficulty using them.
