*There's also a modified fix brought over from WP for the annoyingly small text MediaWiki uses for monospaced fonts, which show up when you use <nowiki><code>, <tt>, and <pre></nowiki> tags.

*If the user is on the Main Page, the browser is told to focus on the go/search box so that they can immediately start typing a search term or page name.

*Next, if the user is on the advanced search page, [[MediaWiki:Common.js/search.js]] is imported to modify the page by adding a dropdown menu that lets one pick another search engine besides the barely-useable built-in one.

*Hover tables are added next, which can display a description of the table cell being pointed to. They are demonstrated, in their unfinished state, [[User:Iritscen/HoverTableDemo|here]].
*Support for hover tables, a half-finished feature. A hover table can display a description of whichever cell is pointed to. The feature is demonstrated in its unfinished state [[User:Iritscen/HoverTableDemo|here]].


*Next is an even more unfinished feature called hover GIFs, which are GIFs that only animate when hovered over. This is accomplished by swapping between a still image and a GIF. However, this method does not work as currently coded because it merely changes the suffix of an image between .gif and .jpg; since images are stored in various "random" sub-directories on the server, the entire path for both images would need to be hardcoded in order to perform a successful swap. These paths could be supplied using an approach similar to the hover table class "hovertable_descrip" if one was determined to make this feature work.

*Next are an untested fix for table sorting and a tweak to the Upload page for unregistered users (does this do anything?).

*Finally, there is code to allow the creation of tables that automatically sort themselves by a given column when the page is loaded. First, the table must be declared with the class "wikitable". Next, as part of the same class declaration, you must also add in "sortable" to enable the MediaWiki feature where each column has an arrow that can be clicked to sort that column. Now that you've declared both those classes, add the third class "autosort" to trigger the feature added by this code. By default, the table will be sorted by column 1, but you can specify another column by declaring a fourth class, "by-column-''x''", where 'x' is a number from 1 to 9. See [[Oni 2 (Angel Studios)/Levels]] for a sample usage of this feature.
*Finally, there is code to allow tables to automatically sort themselves by a given column when the page is loaded. This is utilized in several places on the wiki. To make an autosort table, first the table must be declared with the class "wikitable". Next, as part of the same class declaration, you must also add in "sortable" to enable MediaWiki's built-in sortable column feature. Finally add the third class "autosort" to trigger this feature. By default, the table will be sorted by column 1, but you can specify another column by declaring a fourth class for the table called "by-column-''x''", where 'x' is a number from 1 to 9. See [[Oni 2 (Angel Studios)/Levels]] for a sample usage of this feature.
