Redirects
- Cross-namespace redirects, ie: redirect from an article to a category
  A problem with 1.5.x (we run 1.5.7), presumably fixed in 1.6 and later [1]
- External redirects, like devmo has. [2]
~~Searching~~
- ~~Perhaps use Google search? MediaWiki:Googlesearch~~
  ~~Caveat: searches all namespaces, including user and talk pages. Bad thing?~~
Logging in
- Turn on account creation again, with some sort of bot-stopper like a captcha or something
  In 1.6, "Support for a captcha extension to restrict automated spam edits: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ConfirmEdit_extension" [4]
- Re-use main site/forum logins.
Content
- Image uploading for screenshots
  Likely just a configuration kerz turned off. Limiting it to a certain size and only images is OK.
Formatting
- The ability to list categories at the top of the article, so we don't need {{upto}}

Using headers at the wrong level
Too much indenting in discussions (only indent if you're actually replying to the comments above!)
Not enough indenting in discussions (always indent if you're replying to the comments above!)
Intro or Background sections
Italicized intros
