Editable Wikipedia Titles

Fix misspellings and go to different articles by editing titles inline.

I don't like having to fix misspellings in the URL window up in the toolbar, so I made the big huge titles at the top of each Wikipedia article editable. Just click on the title and edit it to navigate to a new article.

buhuuuug: It doesn't work for a title ending with a question mark

I would like to be able to use this in other wikis without going to the WP link for it :(

How about a tooltip, like Flickr does with their editable comment and title fields?

The problem I see with selecting the text when the field gets focus is that more often than not I've just slightly mistyped an article title (is it "Ludwig von Beethoven" or "Ludwig Von Beethoven"?), so I wouldn't need to retype the entire title.

I'm not sure what Daniel Rozenberg means but if he means the focus should switch to the title that would make this a 10.

and you might want to add this line to the focus listener: document.getElementById("editable-title").select();

Nice idea, although this can be a little confusing for the guests who try to use my machine :) Also very nicely done - fits perfectly with the visual style of WP... Maybe a "go to another article:" prefix should appear when clicking the title?
