The ForcePreview forces unprivileged users to preview before saving.

Usage

[edit]

Users without the forcepreviewexempt right will be forced to use the "Show preview" (or "Live Preview", if enabled) button before being allowed to save the page.

Installation

[edit]
  • Download and move the extracted ForcePreview folder to your extensions/ directory.
    Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
    git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/ForcePreview
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
    wfLoadExtension( 'ForcePreview' );
    // Does not force preview for registered users
    $wgGroupPermissions['user']['forcepreviewexempt'] = true;
    
  • Yes Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

  • Manual:Force preview - JavaScript that performs the same function, albeit easier to work around (users can simply disable JavaScript on their browser to get around the restriction).
