Thanks Kirkburn,

On popups: Yes, I find that when making a big edit, it can be quite helpful, especially on code pages. The ajax preview also doesn't seem to work right, I've seen a few pages not preview properly.

To clarify, my point about the upload button (somewhat unrelated) was that this editor is supposed to function the same, but by Wikia's definition of functionality it does not. Were a user to change the upload (on the old editor) button to Special:Upload from the popup, it would be a ToU violation because it changes the functionality of the button. However, when Wikia changes the preview and show changes buttons to ajax, and requires JS to edit, the editor still has the same functionality. This sends the wrong message - it is difficult to enforce a strict definition of functionality when Wikia uses a different definition for the things they do.
