           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All

This was an interesting comment from WhatamIdoing on bug 67826, so I thought
I'd split it out for its own discussion.

> click to this tab, scroll halfway down, find this item, tick the box, scroll 
> all the way down, save the page."
