When editing a page .. .. with a discussion, wiki users often click the signature button above and in sequence the save button below. Their is a risk of R.S.I., and I would like to propose to have a fourth button "Sign & Save" SAVE SIGN&SAVE PREVIEW CANCEL Clicking onto SIGN&SAVE would then insert the --~~~~ at the current cursor position and then save that page. I would like to have this additional function.

Can we have such a fourth button or write an extension ?
I assume that the RSI comment was meant as a joke, and that the joke was due to the dubious or diminutive benefit from this proposed change. I prefer having editors encouraged to press a preview button after signing, but personally I would find an extra button for this a waste of space. Maybe someone would like to provide some javascript for this for those who see the edit-page as under-instrumented?
(In reply to comment #2) > I assume that the RSI comment was meant as a joke It was not, seriously. But as everyone appears to like the CharInsert extension, I was simply suggesting something similar but with the additional functionality to immediately save & leave the page (after inserting the signature --~~~~).
This could be tricky. If you edit in the middle of a page, how does the server know where to put the tildes? (Diffs are unreliable in general).
