Slide Shows a la Wiki

It would be cool to have a slide-show tool that would sequence through a list of Wiki pages or external links. Perhaps adding the tag "slideshow" would be a good way. When viewing a slideshow page, you'd get an extra input box for the time between slides and customary player buttons such as [<<] [<] [play/pause][stop] [>] [>>]. Then, when you play a slideshow it sequences through the links on the slideshow page. Pressing [stop] brings you back to the base slideshow page so you can edit it. The keyword delay:xx.x after a link would add an additional delay before going to the next page.

You should be able to sequence between ANY links, including external web pages picture files, etc. Of course some things such as linking to a word document or a web page that requires complex interaction with the user can not be expected to work right. Ordinary web pages or wiki pages would work fine. Linking to another slideshow could only be made to work if the slideshow function is recursive - could be limited to tail-recursive.
