Obviously quite a few must be using the RE since the problem with the diff is enough for you to notice. :-) Transparent? How do you mean... a list of specific users who have enabled this extension? Theoretically possible, but it would require an SQL Query be done against the User table in the database. Is it necessary? Is it a good idea to provide a list of users using the RE? Not really for the same reason I'm not happy about digging out email addresses of spammers. We have an obligation to maintain a high level of privacy and data protection for the users, and I'm not willing to compromise that... not even in the slightly grey areas. If the information is not available in the main MediaWiki interface (via SpecialPages) or available with accepted extensions, then I consider it "off limits". In this case, even as an admin, you cannot see what options a user has set on his or her profile. > Do they know that they break the diff functionality by using RE? > (For me, this is still a showstopper) As I said before.. they "break" the diff on the first time a page is edited with the RE. The RE does a Tidy on the page contents (in many cases, a much needed Tidy). Once the Tidy is done the first time, the diff is usable on subsequent edits. That said, I've just raised this question in a couple of places with the FCKEditor guys... maybe there is a setting, or some way of limiting the Tidy on editing with the RE. Maybe there is a better way of managing this diff issue.
