This bug tracks all problems related to the "Live preview" feature that can be enabled in the preferences under "Editing".
RFC (later withdrawn): https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Live_preview
I was going to add a bug, but clearly this is just a lack of feature at the moment:
When I use live preview section editing does not list transclusions.
It works fine when I edit anonymously, thus not using live preview, and when I edit whole pages (and occasionally when I've had a page reload, like after an attempted save that failed due to a "loss of session data", but I couldn't get it to work by "forgetting to add an edit summary").
You can see my attempts at determining the problem here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AMarkhurd%2FSandbox&type=revision&diff=664666744&oldid=646644087 (when I thought it was working sometimes).
I note T2878 shows this has been a long-running issue and was "in flux" itself (outside of live preview) as late as May 2014.
I removed "WikiEditor" from task description because live preview is mainly a feature of core and not of the extension WikiEditor. The extension WikiEditor has also a feature live preview which uses also the API from core.
WikiEditor's live preview was removed completely in rEWED77cea2697cc4: Drop the never-finished "Labs" publish and preview features.
Please consider remaking this into a project, the table with listed tasks is unreadable right now for me and I would guess many others on similar page widths (1366px).
(there is no possibility to scroll and see the rest of the titles, they are showing up exactly like this, just with ellipses)
