[edit] Current features

• Bugless fetching of Recent changes from api.php.
• Easy 2 button operation, even easier if you have a middle button.
• Warnings, rollback and reading of block logs.
• Tabbed interface (Use Ctrl+Click to open a link in a new tab)
• Uses the new set of warning templates from WP:TT, and warnings can be customised through an XML file.
• Customisable edit summaries.

[edit] Upcoming features

(feel free to add any feature requests here)

• Needs an ignore list, so people can ignore Wikipedia:Sandbox* or Talk:* if they see the need.
• A feature to watchlist pages? maybe also a feature to read your watchlist also. Seems odd to have an anti-vandal tool without watchlist functions.
• Could do with a 'vandalism log' feature, showing reverts in a wikitable.
• A button to report IPs to AIV, along with a reason and page name
• bv and 4im level warnings.

[edit] Current bugs

(Add a bug to this list if you find one)

• Multiple tabs cause MWT to hog RAM.
• Runtime error 91, exits itself upon attempt to open warning page
• exits if IE running simueltanously, is this Wiki-overload? :P
