Some of the remaining ideas include scripts to:

  • expand a diff until it covers all contiguous edits made by that user
  • highlight which content (in the HTML) comes from which template
  • hyperlink "per X" to the last comment X made
  • show a pop-up section preview when you hover over its TOC link

...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests
