Handy for increments and such. -* User::getOption now accept a default value to override default user values - this makes it consistent with WebRequest::get* methods. Corrected code in - various places accordingly. -* (bug 8264) Fix JavaScript global vars for XHTML mode -* Make $wgSiteNotice value wikitext again, for consistency with editable - MediaWiki:Sitenotice and MediaWiki:Anonnotice. -* (bug 8044) When redirecting from the canonical name of the special page - to the localised one, parameters/subpages are omitted -* (bug 8164) Special:Booksources should use GET for form submission -* Rewrite Special:Booksources to clean up interface and remove redundant code -* (bug 7925) Change Special:Allmessages message name filter javascript to be - a bit more responsive and easier on the CPU -* (bug 4488) Support watching pages on deletion; introduces new user preference -* Minor restructuring of Special:Preferences; "watch pages I edit" and "watch - pages I create" options now accessible under "Watchlist" options -* (bug 8153) doesn't work in site notice -* (bug 6690) wfMsgNoTrans() transforms messages -* (bug 8274) Wrap edit tools in a
