Description:
When using slower connections, my edits sometimes fail because I have already clicked the "save" button before the page has finished loading.
Part of the problem is that the ever-growing list of insertTags() links for special characters found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Edittools, also located within the edit <form> takes toofuckinglong to load.
(I am not aware of any way to disable the entire mw-editTools section other than using "display:none" in CSS, which does hide it but doesn't make the page load any faster. On a related note, an option in Special:Preferences to completely omit this would be great too)
The following lines appear about 55 Kb later, AT THE END of the <form>:
<input type='hidden' value="[redacted]+\" name="wpEditToken" />
<input name="wpAutoSummary" type="hidden" value="[redacted]" /></form>
Could we please move these items upward?
I think the ideal place would be within the <div class="editbuttons"> and directly before <input id="wpSave" ... />, as editing is apparently guaranteed to fail if wpSave is clicked with no defined wpEditToken value!
