It's only used properly by power users, who would be able to do the same in about:config, or via noscript, or will add an extension to do it. That preference is almost always incorrect set by users who don't know what they are doing and it leads to a broken browser experience. Maybe there's a comparison to be made, but there's not really a simple way to disable VE in MediaWiki other than by having a preference. Assuming a proper implementation of edit/edit source I'm not sure what the big deal is, but I'm not a hardcore editor so I'm likely just not seeing it. - Ryan _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
