2528	Clarify the FCKeditor configuration settings in MediaWiki	Mike		"The current configuration settings for the ""rich editor"" (in the Misc tab of a MediaWiki install) are named in a way that creates significant confusion:
- does ""Disable rich editor"" override any and all of the ""Disable rich editor within the xxx namespace"" settings?
- Does ""Start with rich editor disabled"" mean ""Start editing each page with the native Mediawiki editor"", or ""start each logged-in session with the rich editor disabled""?
- Does ""Remember last toggle state"" have any effect except as a modifier to ""Use toggle to switch between...""?
- Do ""Use toggle to switch between..."" and/or ""Remember last toggle state"" settings get persisted for all pages, or does each page start with a default setting that gets changed independently of any other page's changes?


Recommendations:

1. Rename ""Disable rich editor"" to ""Disable rich editor (site-wide setting, overrides all other rich editor settings)"".

2. Group & format all the ""Disable rich editor within the ... namespace"" settings in such a way that it's apparent they're just subordinate to the ""Disable rich editor"" setting.
   e.g. you could place all these subordinate checkboxes directly after the ""Disable rich editor"" checkbox, and indent the text for each of the checkbox labels a few spaces each.
   e.g. you could wrap all the ""Disable rich editor..."" checkboxes inside a Groupbox-like control (such as you see on the Search tab of the user's MediaWiki preferences)

3. Add an extra CR (<br>) spacer or two between the rest of the Misc configuration items and the ""rich editor"" configuration items (such as is used on the Watchlist tab of the user's MediaWiki settings, between the second and third configuration items).

4. Rename ""Start with rich editor disabled"" to ""Start editing each page with the rich editor disabled"" - assuming that's what this actually means.

5. For the two ""toggle"" settings, indent the second setting (to indicate it's a modifier of the first) and/or surround them with a Groupbox.  This should increase the association between the two settings, and make it clear that one modifies the other.
