Help:Preferences: Revision history

30 July 2025

• curprev 18:3918:39, 30 July 2025 Mathglot talk contribs 23,041 bytes +277 →Reading Preferences: This was a completely empty section. For starters, added two bullets about 'page previews' and 'reference previews', just to list what the section is about, copied straight out of Prefs, but no explanation is given here, so this isn't very helpful (yet). Tagged it {{expand section}}.

We do not list every single gadget in the Gadget section below, only a general overview. Nor that we try to duplicate the forms and checkboxes for the other preferences tabs. So let's just have a summary section of WP:PING#Preferences and settings and be done with it here
