Agreed.

I agree that the #preview thing is annoying but I have no problem
with ?action=show.

I would keep it. Its quite standard.

I use this all the time, but yes, it could be turned off by default and
activated in UserPreferences. I believe this is already reported on the
wiki suggestions page.

Mate, repeating something over and over again is not gonna do any good
IMHO.

In general, as you know these problems need to get reported either
upstream (where they are moin feature requests or bug reports) or on the
wiki pages on our wiki that deal with that (where they are questions of
configuration of our wiki).
