|- | |||
| Show preview before edit box || {{Yes|Ticked}} || {{Rating|4|5}} || Very important option | |||
|- | |||
| Show preview on first edit || {{Yes|Ticked}} || {{Rating|4|5}} || It'll show preview on first edit, it saves an unnecessary clicking on preview button to see preview | |||
|- | |||
| Enable section editing via [edit] links || {{Yes|Ticked}} || {{Rating|4|5}} || Very important option | |||
|- | |||
| Use external editor by default (for experts only, needs special settings on your computer. || {{No|Unticked}} || {{No|N.A.}} || It'll break the entire edit option unless it is properly configured. I sometimes use it in Wikipedia. | |||
|- | |||
| Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary || {{No|Unticked}} || {{No|N.A.}} || It is recommended to write edit summary for each edit. If we have this option enabled, MediaWiki will prompt if we forget to write edit summary | |||
|- | |||
| Use live preview (requires JavaScript) (experimental) || {{No|Unticked}} || {{No|N.A.}} ||This may make the editing interface very slow | |||
|- | |||

|- | |||
