Hoi, I do not have the illusion that my need for preferences that have a global impact is unique. When I read the bug, I find that it was looked at for the last time in 2004. In the mean time we have implemented SUL, in the mean time much of what has been said in the bug report there is not that relevant anymore.
The problem that Timwi described is one that needs a solution. When people aim to fix this, it makes sense to do a proper job and consider the other issues that exist as well. Because of this I think my reaction to this thread is appropriate. :) It would be nice not to do the job, but to do a great job. Thanks, GerardM

Given that I currently have user profiles on 427 WMF wikis, I will not bother changing settings like my timezone. It is just to much work. Many applications allow you to select the timezone itself and have the offset
to
GMT be a consequence of the timezone selected. An equally good change
would
be to make the timezone part of preferences that are maintained globally
for
a user.
This has nothing to do with this problem; this problematic behavior occurs for any change of preferences, e.g. enabling some gadget, it is not in any way limited to time zones.
For the request you describe, take a look at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=505 (which would, indeed, be a useful thing to have).
