This is my entry into the Waxy.org Automated Wikipedia Contest. There’s still a number of bugs to squish, but I’m working on them. A summary of the features:

Advanced Wiki Entry Info
Graphical Timeline and Sliders
Automate in Reverse, view the slideshow going forwards, or backwards, in time.
In-Page Diff(s) – Implemented completely in Javascript, much faster then the other entries. (Javascript Diff Algorithm)
Below (and Above!) the fold diff notification
Configure slideshow duration – and skip every N entries
Choose Specific Entries
Keyboard navigation (Ctrl-Space – Pause/Play, Ctrl-Left/Right, Backwards and Forwards, Ctrl-Up/Down – Start, End)
Estimated Slideshow duration
No limit on rgw number of revisions to show

Download
