Problem: By default, previews cause a reload of the page, which is slow and loses the editor's undo stack.
Proposed solution: Live preview ("Show previews without reloading the page" preference) should be enabled by default. This may require fixing any bugs in the feature first.

This was actually going to be part of our Real Time Preview for Wikitext project, but we managed to find a way forward without having to make Live Preview on by default. As a result, we have thoroughly investigated all the outstanding bugs listed at phab:T41272 and feel well-prepared to take on this wish :) MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 04:15, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
This seems like something we're already getting because it was top of the list last year, so is there any point in voting for it here? {{u|Sdkb}}talk 23:57, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
I think MusikAnimal said above that making live preview default is not a part of Real-Time Preview project. Real-time preview would also probably not be enabled by default. SD0001 (talk) 04:13, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
