Hello all,
I'm happy to announce that GlobalPreferences https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:GlobalPreferences is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. This project came out of the Wishlist Survey in December 2016 ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Results). It was #4 on the list. The Community Tech team ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech) has worked for over 14 months, well past the yearly deadline, to deliver on it. This is one of the most important projects this team has ever undertaken.
You can enable Global Preferences from *Preferences > Set your global preferences* under your User Profile. You can also set per-wiki exceptions https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:GlobalPreferences#Local_exceptions for each global preference.
This has been a long-desired feature (with the earliest known ticket dating back to July 2008 - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T16950). I'd like to give a shout out to Kunal Mehta (Legoktm), Sam Wilson and Max Semenik for all their hard work that went into this project.
You can read more about the genesis of the project on the project page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech/Global_preferences
You can find more information about how to use GlobalPreferences on the Help page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:GlobalPreferences
Questions and comments are welcome on the discussion page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help_talk:Extension:GlobalPreferences
If there is a project you deeply care about and would like our team to work on, please remember to submit a proposal for it during the next Wishlist survey (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2018_Community_Wishlist_Survey) scheduled to take place in November 2018. Make sure to let your friends at Wikimania know about it too. :)
Thanks!
Thanks a lot! The job the developers did is awesome, and the feature is extremally helpfull! Still, there is a bug to be deployed, T195288, so the Global Preferences will work well from this Thursday evening, depends on your wiki group. Wait just a little. :-) Igal (User:Ikhitron)
