Hi everyone,

The Community Tech team is currently working on Global preferences, the #4 wish from the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey, and we've got a question for folks who are interested in using the feature.

We're adapting an extension developed by Legoktm, updating the code and making some changes to the interface. There'll be a new special page, Special:GlobalPreferences, where you'll be able to set a preference on all wikis at once. There's more description and screenshots on the project page:

Our question is about how people might use local overrides for the global preferences -- setting a preference as global, but making an exception for one or more wikis. If that sounds like the kind of thing you would have an opinion about :), then please check out this section:

and leave some feedback on the talk page. Of course, you can also feel free to post any questions, suggestions or comments about the feature. Thanks!
