Description

While, this technically the "default" in MediaWiki, almost NOBODY uses it! The WMF? No. Fandom? No. I don't think this even enabled on obscure wikis. The only other wiki I have EVER seen this enabled on is Encyclopedia Dramatica, which I have had the misfortune of viewing.

We strive to stay as close as possible to stock MediaWiki so we won't be doing this.

Well, basically no other MediaWiki site has this feature enabled...
