MediaWiki:Tog-editwidth

Hmm. I am really, really sure that the edit box used to have a fixed width of 80 characters, and that this preference would change it to a dynamic width depending on the width of the browser window. I always had it turned on so I didn't notice any change. But now this dynamic width seems to be the default and this preference appears to do nothing. I don't know when this was changed, but since it has, it seems the preference should be eliminated.

It could have something to do with the Usability Initiative features we have here. Will check that out, and remove it if it indeed does nothing anymore.

I removed the feature, as I couldn't find it having any effect.

Did you try all skins? At least with Monobook, it did exactly what McDutchie posted above. I've seen it working in some indic scripted wiki not so long ago, certainly this year. --Purodha Blissenbach 18:04, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
