A few interesting options can be found under “Editing.” You can set<br />

<strong>the</strong> height and width of <strong>the</strong> edit box. This is useful if you are working<br />

with a very low or very high screen resolution. Fur<strong>the</strong>r settings<br />

include:<br />

� Edit box has full width. This sets <strong>the</strong> edit box to <strong>the</strong> maximum<br />

size.<br />

� Show edit toolbar. Only works if your browser can display<br />

JavaScript.<br />

� Show preview before edit box and not after it. If this option is<br />

not selected, <strong>the</strong> preview will be displayed beneath <strong>the</strong> edit box.<br />

� Add pages you edit to your watchlist. <strong>Pages</strong> edited by you are<br />

automatically placed on your watchlist.<br />

� Mark all edits minor by default. Useful if, for instance, you<br />

check your wiki for spelling errors.<br />

“Time zone” enables you to “inform” your wiki of any difference in<br />

<strong>the</strong> time on your server and your local time. All times indicated<br />

would <strong>the</strong>n be converted to your time zone.<br />

You can determine <strong>the</strong> amount of pages listed under “Recent<br />

changes and stub display” under <strong>the</strong> item of <strong>the</strong> same name. In addition,<br />

you can suppress <strong>the</strong> display of minor edits. If your browser is<br />

JavaScript enabled, you can switch on <strong>the</strong> enhanced display for recent<br />

changes (see above). Finally, this section allows you to set a<br />

threshold for <strong>the</strong> number of words under which an article is marked<br />

as a short article (stub). Such articles are <strong>the</strong>n displayed in ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />

color and are considered as requiring editing.<br />

The item “Search result settings” enables you to determine how<br />

many results are displayed per page. “Lines to show per hit” indicates<br />

how many lines of context of an article are to be displayed. If<br />

you set this number very high, <strong>the</strong> environment will always be<br />

shown with <strong>the</strong> search item. “Characters of context per line” refers<br />

to <strong>the</strong> length of this context display. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, you can also indicate<br />

in which namespaces a search should take place by default.<br />

“Miscellaneous settings” offers a range of options:<br />

� Show hoverbox over wiki links. Determines whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> URL<br />

or internal destination of a link should be displayed as a tooltip<br />

in <strong>the</strong> hoverbox.<br />

� Underline links. This makes it easier to recognize links.<br />

� Format broken links. If you deactivate this option, links to<br />

pages that do not yet exist are not highlighted but ra<strong>the</strong>r appear<br />
