Always: Underlines all links in the content area of a page, even if the selected skin specifies no underlining. The table of contents is not affected by this setting.example for underlined links
Never: Never underlines links in the content area of a page, even if the selected skin specifies underlining.
Skin or browser default: Keeps the link settings as specified in the skin.
Threshold for stub link formatting: Determines when the target page is considered short enough to change the link color to a page that fits the threshhold criteria. If you choose 50 bytes, a link to a page with less than 50 characters (including wikitext), will be marked as a stub link and be shown in a different color. This only works if your wiki skin has a separate color value for stub links defined.
Show hidden categories: The categories that a page is in are normally listed on the page. A category can be hidden from this list by adding the magic word __HIDDENCAT__ to the category page. With this setting, a user can opt to show the hidden category anyway.
Show a confirmation prompt when clicking on a rollback link: If an admin user wants to perform a rollback of multiple options from the version history of a page, the rollback is executed immediately after clickint the link by default. With this setting, the admin user needs to click on the "Rollback" link again to confirm the rollback before it is executed.

Editing
General options

If this setting is disabled: Users will see the source code of the latest version, a diff view between the latest and the own version, and a source diting window to manually work on the user's unsaved version.
