Okay, just kidding. While r114398 reverted r114004, Roan remerged the code in
<https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/3466>.

The preference can be viewed here:
<https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing>. It
reads "Show header and footer fields...". The current default is OFF. The
English Wikisource would like for the default to be ON.

So for Reedy, the question is: how is a default user option from an extension
like this set and can it be switched for the English Wikisource?

(It may also be worth considering whether the extension's default to "off" is
wise, but that's really a separate bug.)

Re-opening for now.
