Notes

1. ^ Controls the appearance of the Talk tab (right of Page tab) (default is Show as blue link)

   XOWA shows a Talk tab just like any other MediaWiki wiki

   However, the default wiki dumps (pages-articles) do not have the Talk namespace. In these situations, the Talk tab is non-functional.

   Some users may object to the continual presence of a non-functional tab. As such, the following options have been provided:

   • Hide : Hide the tab if the namespace is missing. This is non-standard MediaWiki behavior, but is not distracting.
   • Show as red link : Show the tab with a red color. This is standard MediaWiki behavior, but some users may find the red link distracting.
   • Show as blue link : Show the tab with a blue color. This is non-standard MediaWiki behavior. It is not distracting but some users may object to the presence of a non-functional link.
2. ^ ^{a b} Choose one of the following. (default is unchecked) [desktop] (default is checked) [server]
   • checked : to show XOWA menu in sidebar (has XOWA Main Page, About, Help, Page History, Bookmarks, Options
   • unchecked : to hide XOWA menu in sidebar
3. ^ Enter a format for pages whose content is entirely source code (default is <pre>~{page_text}</pre>) Applicable pages include:
   • MediaWiki:Common.css
   • MediaWiki:*.js
   • Module:*
   The purpose of this option is to control the behavior of the pre when the page has source code with long lines. Example behaviors include:
   • Horizontal scroll bar at bottom of html window: <pre>~{page_text}</pre>
   • Horizontal scroll bar at bottom of pre: <pre style='overflow:auto'>~{page_text}</pre>
   • Word-wrap: <pre style='white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;'>~{page_text}</pre>
   See https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260 for more context
4. ^ Choose one of the following (default is checked)
   • checked : show alt text underneath caption (default. non-standard behavior, but recommended)
   • unchecked : do not show alt text underneath caption (standard behavior)
   EX: http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_(planet)
5. ^ Choose one of the following (default is unchecked)
   • checked : if no alt is specified, caption will be used
   • unchecked : if no alt is specified, a blank will be used (i.e.: alt will be empty)
6. ^ Collapsible settings only apply to the current viewing of the page. This setting is not stored for each page. For example, if you are viewing "Page_A", you set your table of contents (TOC) setting to unchecked (always show), and you click "hide":
   • Click a link -> Press back -> TOC is shown, not hidden
   • Exit XOWA -> Reopen XOWA -> Go to "Page_A" -> TOC is shown, not hidden
   Saving the hide/show setting on a page by page basis will be supported in a future version, but probably not anytime soon.
7. ^ All table of contents have a Show / Hide link. See Diagnostics/Javascript/Table_of_contents
   Choose one of the following (default is unchecked)
   • checked : default to show collapsed
   • unchecked : default to show expanded
8. ^ Navigation boxes at the bottom of the article will often have a Collapse / Expand link. See Diagnostics/Javascript/Collapsible or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics
   Choose one of the following. (default is unchecked)
   • checked : default to show collapsed
   • unchecked : default to show expanded
9. ^ Navigation boxes at the side of the article will sometimes have a Show / Hide link. See Diagnostics/Javascript/NavFrame or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics
   Choose one of the following. (default is unchecked)
   • checked : default to show collapsed
   • unchecked : default to show expanded
