I have most nodelets switched off for faster surfing, but every once in a while, I'd like to see the contents of a nodelet that I have switched off (e.g. "Other users"). However, it's too much of a hassle to go and switch it on, view it, then switch it off, so most of the time I just don't bother.

How about creating a special page that just shows the contents of all nodelets, maybe even in a different (wider) format? Something not quite like all nodelets ;-)
