Without the "action=edit" part, MediaWiki will attempt to view the article; this is the default action. When in this mode, the "preload" parameter is ignored; it means nothing to the code, and the value won't even be checked.
Is there a possibility to change this, so that the "preload" parameter is not ignored without the "action=edit" part being present?
The "preload" parameter is *meaningless* when anything other than editing is going on.
It would make a certain amount of sense to trigger edit mode if the "preload" parameter is present _and_ the page does not yet exist, even if "action=edit" is not present.
I'll see if I can produce a patch.
