I would like to post the following under the proper HELP section of Wikipedia. I spent a couple of hours finding the simple solution to resolve my issue and I would like to share the resolution so that no one else has to deal with this.

PROBLEM:

When selecting a link to create a new Wikipedia page, all my internet browsers prompt me to select download or open with when I am redirected to the index.php edit webpage.

SOLUTION:
 * 1) Login to your Wikipedia account
 * 2) Select MY PREFERENCES
 * 3) Select EDITING
 * 4) Uncheck both of the following checkboxes...
 * Use external editor by default (for experts only, needs special settings on your computer)
 * Use external diff by default (for experts only, needs special settings on your computer)

Thanks!


 * Thanks for the information. I think those checkboxes should not be checked by default but I will look into it.  Gtstricky Talk or C 19:49, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Might I suggest taking it to the talk page of FAQ/Editing. That might be a good place for it.  Gtstricky Talk or C 19:52, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
