* '''Time diff'''. This is the number of hours to be added or subtracted from [[enw:UTC|UTC]] to find your [[enw:time zone|time zone]]. This time zone is used when calculating displayed page update timestamps, and may become temporarily incorrect from time to time if you observe [[enw:daylight saving time|daylight saving time]] -- don't forget to update it to match ''your'' local time, because the Wiki doesn't know where you are or precisely when you celebrate DST. (Also, the server's clock may be slightly offset from reality, much as Wikipedia articles may be.) A scattering of typical (and possibly incorrect!) time diff values are below. If yours isn't listed, try [http://www.timeanddate.com/time/abbreviations.html this link] or add and subtract a few hours as needed.

* '''Number of titles on recent changes''': You may select the number of changes which will be shown by default on the [[MediaWiki User's GuideMeta:Help: The Recent Changes pagechanges|Recent Changes]] and [[MediaWiki User's GuideMeta:Help: Using the WatchlistWatching pages|Watchlist]] page. Once on those pages, links are provided for other options.* '''Hide minor edits in recent changes'''. Registered users may choose to mark edits as being minor (meaning fixes too trivial for trusting users to check up on). It applies to [[MediaWiki User's GuideMeta:Help: The Recent Changes pagechanges|Recent Changes]] and [[MediaWiki User's GuideMeta:Help: The enhanced Recent Changes pageEnhanced recent changes|Enhanced Recent Changes]], but not to the [[MediaWiki User's GuideMeta:Help: Using the WatchlistWatching pages|Watchlist]]. It also affects [[MediaWiki User's GuideMeta:Help: The Related Changes functionRecent changes|Related changes]], but currently in an odd way: if the last edit of a page linking to the current page was minor, then neither that nor the last major change is shown.
