@452: At this time, when you set your editing preference in your profile to "No Preferences" you continue to have the choice of working simultaneously in both source and visual screens. Going from one to the other is a smooth process using the tabs for each. I prefer to work with the source screen but tweaking the way a page layout looks before saving it can only be done in visual (for example: adding an extra space between words -- source won't let you do this). The "No Preferences" choice is going to be eliminated. Which means that the first screen you will get when you edit a page will be either Visual or Source to work from. They won't be available in conjunction. Those of us who use both screens simultaneously will have to (1) edit with the screen that opens when you go to edit (Source or Visual), (2) edit the page on that screen, (3) go back to profile and select Visual as the preference, (4) go back to edit the page with the Visual screen opened automatically, edit, save final edit.

If what I have assumed will be what will be happening, then it will be a bitch on wheels to edit a page for editors like me who use a precise approach when editing.

If that is not what will be the result of taking away the "No Preferences" choice -- Wikia owes us that explanation.
