Critter

Edit paragraphs and collect page-specific critique markup.

Critter is a Firefox extension developed by Wikidot user Malfestance to meet the needs of the RPC Authority community's cultural environment for extensive, thoughtful, line-by-line feedback on wiki entries. Critique can be completed on a single monitor with little difficulty, allowing the user to make requested changes for grammar, word-choice, clinical tone, etc., and/or leaving comments on specific quoted parts of articles that compile into the user's clipboard in accessible Wikidot formatting. Feature Summary: Highlight To Comment - The user may select text to make a comment on a specific portion of the article. Click To Edit - The user may click any paragraph to edit the source text and make a requested change to a draft or article. This does not save to the wiki and gets saved into a list of critique for the page. The user may save all of it later with a single button to post into the discussion thread. The user is also given the chance to add a comment to their edits to justify or explain their feedback. Live Preview - The user's edits directly show up in the DOM in real time. The user may switch between three different modes: Edits: Displays where the user made additions with green bolded text, where the user made omissions with red strikethrough text, and where they left comments with yellow italicized text. Revision: Shows what edits would look like on the page if they were adopted. Research into this display mode ascertains its remarkable effectiveness in allowing users to judge how changes would qualitatively feel in the article as one reads it. Source: Shows only the original article. Persistence - Critiques are locally saved to their respective pages, so the user may refresh it freely without losing feedback.
