Summary says it all. Users should be able to use customized edittools. Sometimes a user would like to change his edittools. He should be able to do so without having to ask a sysop to change global edittools affecting the whole wiki. I am not sure if devs have enough time/man power to implement a feature request like this but I think it would be helpful. Thanks.
Isn't this already possible by editing one's monobook.js?
No. JavaScript based solutions modify the editing tools after they are loaded. This means, for example, if a wiki is using a huge set of editing tools, the user has to wait for all of them (many kilobytes) to be downloaded, before the JavaScript solution modifies/hides them.
Duping this to bug 9754. See also some notes on bug 11130 about ajax-ifying the default edittools so they're loaded in a different way that may be nicer for the described cases. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 9754 ***
