Power users should not find it especially difficult to add a line to their Common.css user stylesheet, but I accept that they should not have to poke around code to figure out which rule to add. I made sure the requisite CSS code is featured prominently on the extension's page on mediawiki.org: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PostEdit#Disabling I understand why you might think this is an inferior solution. The addition of an explicit preference doubles as a kind of implicit acknowledgement that the feature in question could be obtrusive or annoying to established users, and thus it expresses civility and respect, whereas a workaround does not. But in this particular case, the change required is really very small, and probably does not take up much more time than hunting around for a preference. So I hope you will find it an adequate solution, if an imperfect one. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. You are the assignee for the bug.
