Closed, DuplicatePublicFeature

Description

When using a URL like http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&action=edit&useskin=chick , the &useskin= parameter is lost if the user uses the "Show changes" or "Show preview" buttons. This shouldn't happen.

Why should these two be persistent when everything else isn't?

The user story here is really, "I want to be able to specify a skin when previewing changes so that I can make sure the changes are compatible with different skins before publishing the change", making this "persist" is a proposed technical solution, but any solution to that story should work.
