The preferences dialog allows you to personalize some aspects of MediaWiki. They will apply only when you are logged in.
Contents
User profile[edit]
Basic information[edit]
The user profile is a profile for you. It contains your username, user ID, groups you are a member of, edit count and registration time. There are also fields for your real name and gender and an option to change your password.
Change password[edit]
To change your password, enter your old password, the new password, and the new password a second time. (If you're merely changing the other preferences, you do not need to enter your password.)
Internationalisation[edit]
This setting allows you to set your default language. The default for Wikisimpsons is English (en).
Signature[edit]
This setting allows you to make a personalized signature for your user account.
E-mail options[edit]
The E-mail options allows you to set an email address and change the options for the type of e-mail you receive. These options are:
- Enable e-mail from other users
- Send me copies of e-mails I send to other users
- E-mail me when a page on my watchlist is changed
- E-mail me when my user talk page is changed
- E-mail me also for minor edits of pages
It also tells you whether your e-mail is authenticated or not.
Appearance[edit]
The Appearance tab changes the look of the wiki.
Skin[edit]
This allows you to change your skin. Wikisimpsons has three options, Monaco, MonoBook and Vector. Vector is the default skin we currently use.
Files[edit]
These settings allow you to change the maximum image size in File: pages and change your default thumbnail image size.
Advanced options[edit]
These are miscellaneous options for changing the appearance.
- Link underlining - Allows you to change whether you want links underlined or not.
- Threshold for stub link formatting.
- Format broken links like this - Changes the way you see broken links.
- Show table of contents (for pages with more than 3 headings) - Changes whether you see the Table of Contents on pages.
- Disable browser page caching.
- Show hidden categories.
- Enable "jump to" accessibility links.
- Justify paragraphs.
- Auto-number headings.
