Hi! I'm sorry -- when I answered this question before, I thought that a preview button was going to be included with the additional buttons that appear under the entry field here. (It wasn't my project, so I thought I knew all the details, but it turns out I didn't.)

For people who use the visual editor, they will see messages (more or less) the way they appear, and you can switch back and forth between visual and source -- but I know that doesn't work for templates, which appear in visual editor as a green puzzle piece.

Obviously, most messages are just text, so you don't need a preview for that -- but I'd like to understand the situations where a preview button would be useful. Can you give me a couple examples? The most helpful thing would be links to actual threads on a wiki where you're trying to use a template or something that's hard to visualize without a preview button.
