__HIDETITLE__ <bs:bookshelf src="Book:User manual" /> __TOC__ ==What is UserPreferences?== '''UserPreferences''' ersonal preferences which the user can change at the special page <code>Special:Preferences</code>. ==Where to find the user preferences?== ::: [[File: BlueSpice223-UserPreferences-Dropdown-en.png|270px|Screenshot: Call up the special site with the preferences]] You reach your personal preferences via the arrow next to your user name in the TopBar. Clicking on the arrow opens up a drop-down menu. Click on '''Preferences'''. This takes you to the special page "Preferences", which is divided into different tabs. Alternatively you can enter <code>Special:Preferences</code> in your browser's address bar to call up your user preferences. ==The functionality of UserPreferences== Please note that you might have older page data in your '''Browser cache''' and that you may need to empty this before you can see the new settings. If you want to adopt the standard settings, click on '''Restore all default settings'''. All parameters will then be set to the standard values for anonymous users. ::: [[File:BlueSpice2-UserPreferences-Spezialseite_Reiter-en.png|thumb|none|700px|Screenshot: Tab showing a variety of preferences and options]] ===User profile=== '''Basic information''': Your personal system data is shown here, but the following settings can also be made here: '''Real name''': Enter this as you would like it to appear in the system. * Gender. * Change password. * Remember my login on this browser. '''Language''': You can change your personal language for you and the navigation system. BlueSpice currently has support for de-formal - German (formal), de - German and en - English. '''Signature''': Enter a signature, particularly useful for discussion pages. '''Email options''': You can set up the basic options for MediaWiki's notification: enable mail from other users and more. The '''Notifications''' tab gives you additional options for email notification. ===Appearance=== Under '''BlueSpiceSkin''', you can choose how the wiki will be displayed, changing its look and feel. Note that these changes only effect your view of the site. '''User interface''': Currently, BlueSpice only supports the BlueSpice skin. Further skins are being developed. '''Files''': Under "Files", you can limit the capacity used by file description pages, by setting the maximal size of the image display. You can also set the dimensions of the thumbnails. '''Advanced options''': Display of links and more. * Display a table of contents for pages with more than three headings. This can make it easier to deal with longer texts. * Deactivate page cache. Use this when you are regularly shown out of date versions of pages. The disadvantage is that you will have longer loading times. * Show hidden categories * Activate "Jump to"XXX links. This activates extra links at the top of the page. They are designed for automated voice output ("screen readers") and PDAs, and are only visible in very old browsers. So normally, this function can be deactivated. * Justify paragraphs * Automatically number headings. Normally, headings are not enumerated. You can change this here. * Enable collapsing of items in the sidebar in Vector skin * Exclude me from feature experiments <!-- '''Mathematical formulas''': Assuming the extension is activated. '''Mark as short pages'''. The value given here determines the number in bytes below which an article is defined as short. Links to articles smaller than the value given are shown in a special colour. * Underline links. This makes links easier to recognise. * Emphasise links to empty pages. If this is deactivated, links to non-existent pages will not be given a special colour but rather given a question mark as a link to create the page. Links to short pages are marked with an exclamation mark. * Justification. Justification is normally difficult to read and therefore is not activated as standard. --> ===Date and time=== The tab "Date and time" gives you the chance to set up your preferred date format which, for example, is used in signatures. You can also set up your current time zone. ===Editing=== A number of interesting options are collected together under "Editing". Firstly, you can chose the height and width of the editing window. This is useful when you work with a small or very large display resolution. You can also set up: * Show preview before edit box. If this option is deactivated, the preview will be shown under the edit form. * Always show preview on first edit. The preview of the article is displayed when you click on "Edit". * Links to allow editing individual sections. If you turn this off, you will only be able to edit the article in full. * Editing of individual sections by right clicking (JavaScript). This option is independent of the option above which displays links. When activated, you can edit a section {{DISPLAYTITLE:Preferences}} ==What are user preferences?== [[File:Manual:usermenu-preferences.png|alt=Screenshot: User menu|thumb|350x350px|User menu]] As a BlueSpice user, you can customize a lot of settings to make your wiki experience more personal and more efficient. For example, you may want to show a real photo of yourself or maybe you prefer a randomely generated image. You can also set when and how you want to be notified about changes that are happening on your wiki. To find content tailored to your needs, you can even exclude entire namespaces from your search results if you only need information from particular areas of your wiki. Just remember that all settings only affect your own wiki experience (except for your profile information, of course, which is visible to all users). '''To access your preferences:''' #'''Click''' on the user menu. #'''Click''' ''Preferences''. This opens the preferences page with multiple tabs. Alternatively, you can access the page ''Special:Preferences'' directly. ==User profile== ===Basic Information=== <bs:universalexport:exclude>[[File:Manual:preferences-profilepic-url.png|link=https://en.wiki.bluespice.com/wiki/File:Manual:preferences-profilepic-url.png|alt=Screenshot: profile picture url|center|650x650px|thumb|profile image]]</bs:universalexport:exclude> *'''Real name''': This name is shown throughout the wiki. When users hover over your real name, your profile picture and contact information is shown. *'''Change password''': If your wiki is not connected with the central authentication system of your company, you can manage your password here. *'''User image''': **''User image'' text field: Enter the webadress of a picture on another website and click ''Save'' at the bottom of the page. The profile picture points directly to the external image: **''Change profile picture'' link: Upload an image to the wiki. Click ''Browse'' and then ''Upload'' to create a new profile image. If you click ''Generate new avatar'', the system generates a graphic instead. *'''Privacy policy''' acceptance checkbox: Select and save this checkbox setting to confirm that your accept the privacy policy. Administrators can review this setting for all users on the page ''Special:Privacy_Admin''. ===Internationalisation=== *'''Language:''' Users can change their personal language that is used in the layout and menus. BlueSpice currently supports de-formal-German (formal), de-German and en-English. *'''How do you prefer to be described?''' Option for setting your gender preferences. ===Signature=== *'''Your existing signature:''' shows a preview of your current signature including your profile info when you hover over the link. *'''New signature:''' Enter a new name for your signature and save the ''Preferences'' page. *'''Treat signautre as wikitext:''' Your signature will be shown as text-only. ===Email options=== If you provide an email adress, you can specify to receive email notifications in addition or in place of wiki notifications. As long as the email adress is not confirmed, the system will not send emails. This also affects the settings in the [[Manual:Preferences#Notifications|Notifications]] tab. If you want to exclude minor page edits from email notifications, you need to set it under the email options here. ==Appearance== ===Skin=== If your wiki has more than one skin, you can choose the layout of your wiki here. It only affects your view of the wiki. All other users see the skin that is selected in their preferences. ===Reading preferences=== You can set if you want to see quick summaries of a page before you click on a link. This requires that the page has some intro text before the first heading on a page. ===Date format=== You can set how you would like to see the timestamp on wiki pages, for example the timestamp of a user signature on a discussion page. [[File:Manual:preferences-dateformat.png|alt=Screenshot date format|center|thumb|date format example|300x300px]] ===Time offset=== *'''Server time:''' Shows the server time so that you can compare it to your local time. *'''Local time:''' Shows the time set in the time zone setting. *'''Time zone:''' When you select a time zone, your local time will be shown throughout the wiki wherever there is a timestamp. ===Files=== *'''Image size limit:''' Sets the maximum size of the preview image on the file description page.[[File:Manual:preferences-fileimagepreviewsize.png|alt=image size on file page|center|thumb|450x450px|image size on file page]]<br /> *'''Thumbnail size:''' Sets the size of the thumbnail image on a page if no custom size is specified in the image settings. *'''Enable Media Viewer:''' If this checkbox is not selected, image links on a page will load the file description page rather than the media viewer overlay. [[File:Manual:preferences-mediaviewer.png|alt=Screenshot media viewer overlay|center|450x450px|thumb|media viewer overlay]] ===Diffs=== *'''Do not show the page content below diffs:''' Turns off the [[Manual:Extension/BlueSpiceVisualDiff|VisualDiff view]] as well as the wikitext view of revisions. Revisions are only shown in classic view. *'''Don't show diff after performing a rollback:''' ===Advanced options=== *'''Link underlining:''' **''Always:'' Underlines all links in the content area of a page, even if the selected skin specifies no underlining. The table of contents is not affected by this setting.[[File:Manual:preferences-underlinelinks.png|link=https://en.wiki.bluespice.com/wiki/File:Manual:preferences-underlinelinks.png|alt=Underlined links example|center|550x550px|thumb|example for underlined links]] **''Never:'' Never underlines links in the content area of a page, even if the selected skin specifies underlining. **S''kin or browser default:'' Keeps the link settings as specified in the skin. *'''Threshold for stub link formatting:''' Determines when the target page is considered short enough to change the link color to a page that fits the threshhold criteria. If you choose 50 bytes, a link to a page with less than 50 characters (including wikitext), will be marked as a stub link and be shown in a different color. This only works if your wiki skin has a separate color value for stub links defined. *Show hidden categories: *'''Auto-number headings:''' Adds heading numbers to the page headings<br />[[File:Manual:preferences-autonumbering.png|alt=Autonumbering example|center|thumb|350x350px|headings with auto numbering]] ===Context menu=== Page links in the content area of the wiki show a context menu that allows to perform actions on the target page without having to go to the target page first. You can set whether you want to show the context menu with ''right-click'' or with r''ight-click + Strg.'' [[File:Manual:preferences-contextmenu.png|alt=Link context menu|center|thumb|220x220px|context menu]] ===Dashboards=== By default, the logo of your wiki links to the main page. You can change this and link to your user dashboard instead. ===Player=== When a page contains a video, you can set it to autoplay when you load a page. ===Timeline=== You can set the timestamp on the timeline entries in date format or as age. {{Box Note|boxtype=note|Note text=It can take up to 24 hours for all timeline entries to show the new timestamp format. When you create a new entry, you shouls see the changed format immediately.}} [[File:Manual:preferences-timeline-dateformat.png|alt=timeline date format|center|thumb|500x500px|timeline date format]] ===BlueSpice Calumma settings=== *'''Automatically hide main menu:''' Hides the main menu every time you load a new page. *'''Automatically hide tool menu:''' Hides the tool menu every time you load a new page. [[File:Manual:preferences-hidemenus.png|alt=hidden navigation menus|center|thumb|450x450px|hidden navigation menus]] ==Editing== ===General options=== *'''Enable section editing by right clicking on the section title. * section titles:''' Right-clicking a section title with the mouse sets the page in edit mode. The specified section can be edited immediately. *'''Editing pages by double clicking (JavaScript). This option lets you change to edit mode by double clicking on the text. This makes things much easier if you make many edits. * Show edit toolbar. This only works if your browser works with JavaScript. * Mark all minor edits by default. This is useful when you are, for example, looking through the wiki for spelling mistakes. * Use an external editor as standard. Set up your MediaWiki pages for editing so that they are brought up in an external editor and can be edited there. An example is the extension for jEdit which you can get at the URL www.djini.de/software/mwjed. * Use external diff by default. This lets you view the differences between different versions using another program. * Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. This reminds you to enter a few words summarising the edit. * Use live preview (experimental) <!--* Show preview now. * Warn when leaving an edit page with unsaved changes.--> '''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 * Enable navigable table of contents ===Recent changes=== This tab lets you choose :''' Double-clicking on the page sets the page in edit mode. The double-click needs to be inside the text area of the page. Clicking in the title section of a page will not set the page into edit mode. *<span class="col-red">'''Show the pending changes diff when editing pages''':</span> ===Editor=== *'''Edit area font style:''' Displays source code in monospace, serif, or sans-serif font. *'''Mark all edits minor by default:''' This automatically sets the minor flag in the save dialog. It can be selected or deselected in the save dialog on the page itself:<br />[[File:Manual:usermenu-preferences-minoredit.png|alt=Screenshot: Minor edit|center|400x400px|thumb|marking a minor edit]] {{Box Note|boxtype=note|Note text=Note: The 'Watch this page' checkbox in the save dialog can be activated or deactivated by default under the preferences tab ''Watchlist'' under ''Advanced options: Add pages and files I edit to my watchlist''.}} *'''Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary''': Dispkays a text message when you click ''Save changes'' reminding you to enter a summary description. If you do not enter a description after that, the page will save without the summary the next time you click ''Save changes.''[[File:Manual:preferences-editpromptwarning.png|alt=edit summary prompt|center|thumb|400x400px|edit summary prompt]]<br /> *'''Warn me when I leave an edit page with unsaved changes:''' When you reload or leave a page with unsaved edits, a warning message is displayed. You can confirm to leave the page or stay on the page and save your changes. *'''Show edit toolbar:''' Disables VisualEditor in visual editing mode. Disabling is not recommended, as this reverts the editor back to a previous version of MediaWiki editor. *'''Temporarily disable the visual editor while it is in beta:''' You can disable visual editor while it is in [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Page_title Extension:VisualEditor|beta mode]. We recommend you do not disable VisualEditor unless you prefer to work with a previous visual editor version. ===<span class="col-black">Preview</span>=== These preview settings are only applied if you have temporarily disabled VisualEditor and the edit text area is on the same page as the page preview. In BlueSpice 3.1+ you can generally ignore these settings. *'''Show preview on first edit:''' The preview of the article is displayed when you click on "Edit" *'''Show preview before edit box:''' If this option is deactivated, the preview will be shown under the edit form *'''Show previews without loading the page:''' ===Reminder=== *'''Default reminder period:''' Prefills the date field for reminders with ''current date + x days'' specified here.<br />[[File:Manual:preferences-reminderdefault.png|alt=reminder default date|center|thumb|350x350px|reminder default date]] *'''Set reminder on page creation:''' When you create a new page, a reminder for that page is automatically created based on the default reminder period you entered. *'''Do not create reminder for the following namespaces:''' Excludes namespaces from the automatic reminder on page creation. ===Timeline=== *'''Warn me when I leave an edit of an entry with unsaved changes:''' If unchecked, any unsaved changes to a social entity (such as blog entry, comment, microblog or discussion topic) will be automatically lost if you navigate to a different page or reload the page before saving your changes. *'''Skip dialog on discussion creation:''' Automatically creates a discussion page when a user adds a discussion directly ona page and the discussion page for the entry does not yet exist. If this checkbox is unchecked, the user has to create the discussion page first before the discussion topic can be posted. ==Recent changes== ===Display options=== *'''Days to show in recent changes:''' You can set how many results are displayed in "Recent changes and when displaying short articles". You can also stop minor changes being displayed. If your browser uses JavaScript, you can turn on the extended display of the recent changes. ===Watchlist=== You can set up your watchlist here, for example how many entries should be shown, and whether your own changes should be ignored. You can also generate your own RSS token or enter one manually here. This token functions like a key with which you integrate your watchlist, for example, in your RSS reader or in Outlook. This lets you check the changes without first logging on to the wiki. ===Search=== The tab "Search" lets you set up how many hits are given on one page. "Hits per page" displays how many hits should be shown. You can also set up which namespaces will be searched as standard. ===Misc=== You can set the preference for comparing versions here. ===BlueSpice=== The tab "BlueSpice" has the options for the individual extensions that BlueSpice integrates in MediaWiki.

This is useful if pages are saved a lot by a single user without major differences between the edits. ===Edit review=== *'''Basic interface''' *'''<nowiki/><nowiki/>When to show the stable version...'<nowiki/>'': Here you can set to ''<nowiki/>'Always show the latest version''' for each page. This setting is only useful if the [[Manual:Flagged Revisions|FlaggedRevs]] feature is active in a namespace. It is a useful settings for users with review permissions who can accept draft versions.Without this setting, the last stable version of a page is shown by default. *'''Show the pending changes diff when''' '''<nowiki/>viewing the latest pen<nowiki/>ding version:''' ''<nowiki/>'' ==Watchlist== ===Edit watchlist=== *'''Edit entries on your watchlist:''' **''View and remove titles on your watchlist:'' Links to the page Special:EditWatchlist whre you can manage your watchlist entries.

This example shows a default setting of 8 days and 20 changes. [[File:Manual:preferences-watchlistoptions.png|alt=watchlist display options|center|thumb|480x480px|watchlist display options]] <br /> ===Advanced options=== Here, you select all the criteria for automatically adding pages and files to your watchlist and for showing certain changes on your watchlist. ===Token=== *'''Watchlist token:''' The token can be used to create a public <span class="mw-lingo-term" data-lingo-term-id="bf1981220040a8ac147698c85d55334f" data-hasqtip="0">RSS</span> feed to your watchlist. Anyone who knows this token can access the feed. The syntax for the feed URL is: <code>https://[YourWikiDomain]/w/api.php?action=feedwatchlist&wlowner=[USERNAME]&wltoken=[TOKEN]</code> . <br> ==Notifications== Here you can set how and when you would like to receive notifications in email and/or in the notifications area of your user profile (Web notifications).
