All settings are saved when WeeChat ends (or with `/save` command to force
a write of the options).
-You can edit configuration files (*.conf) by hand and reload them by
-`/reload` command if you don't want to use `/set` command.
+[IMPORTANT]
+It is *not recommended* to edit configuration files by hand because WeeChat
+may write them at any time (for example on <<command_weechat_quit,/quit>>)
+and after any change you must run the command <<command_weechat_reload,/reload>>
+(with the risk of loosing other changes that were not yet saved with
+<<command_weechat_save,/save>>). +
+You can use the command <<command_weechat_set,/set>>, which checks the value
+and applies immediately the changes.
