The ForcePreview forces unprivileged users to preview before saving.

Usage

Users without the forcepreviewexempt right will be forced to use the "Show preview" (or "Live Preview", if enabled) button before being allowed to save the page.

Installation

• Download and move the extracted ForcePreview folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/ForcePreview
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'ForcePreview' );
  // Does not force preview for registered users
  $wgGroupPermissions['user']['forcepreviewexempt'] = true;
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
