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).
