[edit] User Profile
| Object | Description |
|---|---|

| Allows you to use the functions described in the email section. | |

| Change Password | Pretty self-explanatory. |

[edit] Skin
This tab doesn't need much explanation. The only thing to note is "MySkin," which is a personal skin that you can create by editing Special:Mypage/myskin.css and Special:Mypage/myskin.js.
[edit] Files
Specify how big you want thumbnails and images to be.
[edit] Date and time
Set how you want the date to look and what time the server should give you.
[edit] Editing
Use "Rows" and "Columns" to adjust the size of the editing field. The boxes below are just different options that have to do with editing.
[edit] Recent changes
Not sure what "Titles in recent changes" means.
"Hide minor edits in recent changes" hides edits marked with an "m".
"Enhanced recent changes" enhances it a bit, but makes it hard to read.
[edit] Search
Hits per page = Search results per page.
Lines per hit = Max amount of lines from which it found the keyword(s), per result.
Context per line = Line length.
[edit] Misc
Not sure what "Threshold for stub display" means, but the rest is self-explanatory.
