Concerning the edit page, its initiation, and look and feel, Wikipedia offers a high number of options. Some of them are:
* "{{int:tog-forceeditsummary}}" into the database. (Habit-forming. Note: this prompt does not appear when you edit your own User or User talk page.)
* "Enable VisualEditor". Get a [[word processor]] interface. No markup language at all.
* "{{int:tog-uselivepreview}}". Get a [[dynamic web page]]. ''Browser reloading'' now gives a glimpse at the ''live'' original without having to leave the edit page. And there is no longer any need to create an entirely new page for each preview requested; ''live preview'' just reloads parts of its page, and so it offers no browser history backwards, but disturbs no history forward either. Saves some network bandwidth and lots of browser cache. Just save your edits before disabling JavaScript.<ref>If you disable JavaScript ''for any page on [[MW:main|MediaWiki.org]] or Wikipedia.org'', you will lose all unsaved edits in all tabs; yet disabling JavaScript is a common troubleshooting technique when diagnosing some preference-related browser behaviors.</ref> (First-time users should perform a simple compatibility test.<ref>The danger in using Live preview is on first use with an incompatible browser. Try a simple test: make a change to the edit box, then reload the page.</ref>)
