Non-logged-in users can also make feature requests in Talk:Calculator.


Inline calculations (embedding on wikipages)

Green sections on pages need some kinda notice like "click a part of the equation for more details". I dont wanna manually say it every time.


The 'from previous calculation' box could really benefit from having the numerical value in it (preferrably in the 'units wanted' of the previous calculation. Is this easy to implement?


Better graceful failure when javascript isn't available. The green section should say something about needing a browser that has javascript. Instead, it currently just shows a half-baked calculation, in a way that would confuse most readers.
