The section to control whether beta features of this extension may be used or not is no longer shown on "Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing". The section for alpha features is still there. The section header used to be "prefs-beta" until MW 1.19 or MW 1.20 changed to "prefs-editor" in MW 1.20 or MW 1.21 though (message unfortunately not included in core thus rendering <prefs-editor>.
Can you clarify what options you're not seeing? I see "Enable enhanced editing toolbar" in 1.24alpha.
Sure, thank you for asking. This is the configuration in LocalSettings.php: ## WikiEditor require "extensions/WikiEditor/WikiEditor.php"; $wgWikiEditorFeatures['toc'] = array( 'global' => false, 'user' => false ); $wgDefaultUserOptions['usebetatoolbar'] = 1; $wgDefaultUserOptions['usebetatoolbar-cgd'] = 1; $wgDefaultUserOptions['wikieditor-preview'] = 1; This is what I get in MW 1.19: Beta features ------------- * Enable enhanced editing toolbar * Enable dialogs for inserting links, tables and more Labs features ------------- * Enable side-by-side preview * Enable step-by-step publishing This is what I get in MW 1.21+: Labs features ------------- * Enable side-by-side preview * Enable step-by-step publishing So what happened to the user preferences controlling the beta-features? Not controllable any longer?
Ok, I get it. Sometimes I need this extra kick in the you know what. Beta is now stable an was moved to the regular editor preference section. Probably I did not see it because it was not only moved to another section but the second preference description was changed from " Enable dialogs for inserting links, tables and more" to "Enable wizards for inserting links, tables as well as the search and replace function". Yeah, so everything is fluffy I suppose. Cool! Closing this as RESOLVED INVALID. Plese continue to support for "side-by-side preview" and "step-by-step publishing" since this is a very much liked feature for third parties to my experience. Writing this just in case somebody involved with the development of "WikiEditor" is reading this. :)
Good! Speaking of kicks, I'm not sure the option currently works: see bug 65331, by filing which I found this one.
