These are the preference and settings suggestions I have in my account, you may or may not use these. If you have any question, you may post at my talk page.  
Some points to note:
# I'll mainly mention the settings which I have enabled and the settings which I suggest to keep disabled.
# There will be no rating for the settings I suggest to keep disabled. I strongly recommend to keep the settings enabled which have got more than {{Rating|3|5}} (3 stars)
# Following our guidelines, there should not be any shortcut for this usepage.
