 Ashar said in comment 55 that he will be doing that soon.
I wrote a script for this and ran it just now. 32,640 users were affected. All
of them have now had their minordefault preference removed from the preferences
table; this should fix the issue.

Because I interrupted the script at some point, it's possible that the
preference will come back for up to 100 users. If this happens, post a comment
on this bug and I'll rerun the script. Unfortunately, the identity of these
users is unknown, so I can't fix this problem before it happens, only after.

Hiya,

For the record, I am one of the people on en-Wiki who had minordefault enabled. 

Thank you very much for just putting this in $wgHiddenPrefs for en-Wiki , It is
not a useless preferences in MediaWiki.

(In Comment 7)
 I suppose a legitimate use would be someone who is exceeding gnomish, 
 but also judiciously unchecks the box when making a non-minor edit.
Yep.

I do not consider that I was invited to the battle. Perhaps if there had been a
Bot notification to the set of 33,625 users that had minordefault enabled,
advertising an open discussion on  Help talk:Minor Edit about  removing the
feature they were using, the debate would have been larger and less one sided.

The Village Pump Proposals one line ad did not attract many of that set, while
Village Pump Technical discussion seems to be still trying figure out how to
replace the now hidden simple check box with script  that works.

Since I had no intent of ever changing my  minordefault,  it is the change from
Bugzilla Comment 55 that most directly affected me. --- Perhaps Ashar would
consider another Update Where 'LantzR' setting me back to enabled.  ;^)

Cheers,
Lantz

 advertising an open discussion on  Help talk:Minor Edit about  removing the

It's quite true that wikignomish users are not likely to have taken part in
such a discussion, but [[Help talk:Minor edit]] is not protected, so I expected
them to complain, after the notification; still, nobody did, apparently. :)

Thanks for the references.

I'd picked up on the Village Pump Technical thread from (Comment 7) above.
I  installed the 1st (and 3rd) script (same code as the Mark snippet ) from the 
instructions there and added a comment to the end of the thread. 

It is working fine. 

I'll switch to the  Mark_minor_edit snippet you point out, it's the same code 
but I prefer Marks comments and if style.

Cheers,
Lantz

15:12:54 UTC ---
I am currently assisting a non-technical user who is stuck with having every
edit marked as minor with no way to turn it off. That hidden box needs to be
turned off for all users by a 'bot. Giving the users a way to turn it back on
seams reasonable, but the hidden box needs to be unchecked for users who don't
do something special to keep it turned on. I am sure that there are many other
users who, like mine, have been spending years inadvertently marking all edits
- including major changes - as minor without really knowing what a minor edit
is or why there is an m next the every edit. There is a larger issue as well:
when a user interface option is hidden, careful thought needs to be given to
setting a sane default for users who now have an unchangeable user preference.
I sometimes try different user configuration settings to see if I like them.
Having the ability to change it back suddenly disappear is not something I
would allow from the software developers who work for me, and neither should
Wikimedia allow it.

Sorry, I think I forgot about this bug :(

Although the configuration setting is hidden, I still have to update enwiki
database to disable it for user that had it before the change.

Will try to get it done this week.

Okay, that first js works fine.  Haven't had any problems with it.  I read the
comments made that prompted this bug.  It seems that this has brought out some
good conversations about what is and what isn't a major or a minor edit. 
It was a pity that some comments prompted an editor to respond, I am rather
put off by the number of Support comments above suggesting that mostly minor
edits can never be a valid editor's style.  Lot's of apologies ensued, so
maybe this was a good thing.  At any rate, you devs have better things to do
than to get involved with these controversies.  I personally would like to see
the pref. restored, but heck, I have the js, so I'm okay with the deletion. 
It's so much easier for the gnomes, who shy away from code like js, to just
check a box, though.  Best of everything to you all!

 Update:
 Last notifications were sent to the users. The preference will be overwritten
 soon.
 Paine open a different bug please. I am not a javascript guru :(

A new bug's not necessary at this point, as I've been testing the first of the
two Java scripts that were given.  While, as I noted, the second script with
the cookie worked only sporadically (probably because I regularly wipe out my
cookies), the first script seems to be working fine, thus far.  So thank you
very much, Ashar Voultoiz and xenocidic, for your responses.  If that
first-choice script stops working, then I'll take it to the next level.

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29/Archive_78#Preference_to_mark_all_edits_minor_by_default_asked_to_be_removed_in_bugzilla:24313

For the record, I am one of the people who preferred to have the Minor box
autocheckmarked.  Having lost that battle, I added the above Java to my
vector.js file, and it worked for awhile.  Now it has stopped working.  I would
have opened a new bug, but (1) I wanted to express my dismay at the loss of
this pref. and (2) I figured I'd give the devs a break.

So what exactly is the holdup here? The decision was unanimous on enwiki, it
was advertised in the appropriate places, and if someone would just provide the
list of users to notify we could have a bot post the notices today. Or someone
could just cut the knot and do it.

 I don't think it's a shell request unless someone writes the notification
 script that I asked for in comment 22.

There was a unanimous Village Pump discussion that was advertised via the
Central discussions template.

It will be no more annoying than any other number of interface changes that
have happened without notification (like the one that swapped the location of
diff and hist, for example).

1) By 'Village Pump' are you referring to the discussion on the talk page of
Help:Minor Edit? I really wouldn't call that consensus.

2) Apples and oranges, one is a minor change to make all pages consistent, the
other is completely removing functionality.

What would you call consensus then? There were a couple of dozens of
supporters, and not a single oppose. That's more than consensus, that's a
unanimous decision.

Yes, there's a chance.  Shell requests apparently aren't being done

  The original site request simply wants it turned off on en.wiki.
 
 I have no issue with turning it off on en.wiki, just the issue with it being
 removed from mediawiki all together. The version I'm running here for testing
 is 1.17alpha (r73191) - retrieved from SVN, and this feature is gone. Looks
 like it's been removed from the entire project, not just the en.wiki instance
 of mediawiki.

r69337 by Aryeh Gregor still needs to be reverted...

Guys, this is not a bug and should not be fixed. Plain and simple. Allow the
preference to be enabled or disabled, do not remove it completely. 99% of the
changes I make on my company wiki are legitimate *and* minor. Selecting the
minor box every single time, and remembering that the setting has now been
removed makes my life a lot harder.

FYI: No one searches for articles on a feature that already exists and is so
self-explanatory, just in case someone might motion to have it removed.

I have advised him to used this very feature...

 feature can be notified in advance with a user talk page edit or some
 notification extension.

I do tend to systematically underestimate annoyance to users.  What do you
suggest, then?  Revert and WONTFIX?  Revert, use $wgHiddenPrefs for enwiki, and
tell anyone who complains to complain at the enwikians who asked for this? 
Maybe at some point in the future, we can make a more coordinated effort to cut
down on needless prefs, and institute a proper transition plan.

This. The consensus at enwiki is unanimous among those who commented.

Don't forget to also run the maintenance script mentioned in comment #1 to turn
it off for those who currently have it on.

Having more preferences imposes a lot of non-obvious costs, so the number of
preferences should be kept to a minimum.  We have way too many as it stands. 
For things like this that are not terribly useful -- this saves one Shift-Alt-I
or click or whatever at best, and few users use it (about 30,000 on enwiki,
~0.25%) -- we have general extensibility mechanisms like user JavaScript, and
we should not provide specific preferences.

There are many other settings, you can replace by javascript, but not all user
have activ javascript.


The preload of a checkbox is a very simple setting. Please make that
consistent, and remove all other settings, which are preload of a checkbox.
Thanks.

(In reply to comment #16)
 For other wikis, if you want to reduce useless preferences, start with Use
 external editor by default (for experts only, needs special settings on your
 computer) and Use external diff by default (for experts only, needs special
 settings on your computer).

Yes, that are very complex settings and better candiate to remove.

Did you check also how many users use the other preferences?
And, if there are so few users who use this, how can it be a harm, as was
stated?
Anyway, as of July 2010, according to
http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaEN.htm , there are 615526 actual
users, so that would be 4,9 %, and there are 99699 users with more than 100
edits (these are far more likely to use this preference), so that would be 30
%.

Not every wiki has the gadget extension, and if your aim is to reduce clutter I
don't see how this could be an improvement, given that we have already lots of
preferences for gadgets in several wikis which use that, and those preferences
are far less used that this.

I intend to, if I ever get around to it, but it's not especially high-priority.

 Why not count the active users?

Because it's more complicated to write the database query.

 3 / 135231 = 22.18% vs. 3 / 12931782 = 0.23%

The first figure is extremely misleading, because you're counting both inactive
and active users who have the preference set, and dividing by only the total
active users.  If 27,000 inactive users have the preference set, it would
really be about 2% of active users, for example.  The latter figure (mine)
almost certainly understates the practical impact of the change, but at least
it's a meaningful comparison.

Please hide the setting only on en.wiki if they wish so; folks will be very

users who use this and lots of wikis which don't find it troublesome.

Those users can use about one line of user JavaScript instead.  We don't need
an actual preference for this.

I don't see why lots users should have to use a JavaScript for such a useful
preference. en.wiki wants it removed, ok, I don't mind much (even if I'm a bit
annoyed and I don't see an overwhelming consensus for that), but leave other
wikis alone: the reasons mentioned in en.wiki's VP don't apply to other wikis. 
For other wikis, if you want to reduce useless preferences, start with Use
external editor by default (for experts only, needs special settings on your
computer) and Use external diff by default (for experts only, needs special
settings on your computer).

This preference is very useful because we have lots of users who make almost
only minor edits; minor edits not marked as such are very annoying in histories
if you're looking for something; false minor edits are not many in the wikis I
know (also because people prefer to say that their edits are important, unless
they're vandals, but when you fight vandalism you don't care of minor/not
minor, obviously).

As the filer of this bug, I did not expect it to be removed from Mediawiki
entirely. 

I could see how it would be useful if social issues weren't a factor.

I don't care what the English Wikipedia thinks.  I removed the feature because
*I* think we should be cutting down on not-very-useful preferences -- this is
exactly the sort of niche thing that we permit user scripts for.  We can't just
add more and more preferences forever without removing any; that's not
reasonable.

Or could have just hid the option, so people who actually use the option on
their own wiki will still have it and not be forced to implement javascript
hacks because some site called English Wikipedia got pissy again.

Is it better to use $wgHiddenPrefs, or just remove the feature entirely?  Is
there any legitimate use for this?  We should try to cut out bad preferences
where we can.

Ditto. I glanced at this bug earlier and forgot to commit. Excessive
customizing is a bad work around for poor UI, we should reconsider its entire
existence.

Setting removed entirely in r69337.  I've set the 1.16-wmf4 tag so someone can
sync it and fix this bug.

I suppose a legitimate use would be someone who is exceeding gnomish, but also
judiciously unchecks the box when making a non-minor edit.

I have no strong opinion on whether it should be killed altogether or just
hidden on en.wiki.

You could do it with a JavaScript hack pretty easily.  Hitting Alt-I (or
Alt-Shift-I or whatever) before you save is pretty easy too, especially if you
use Alt-S to save.

Can do this by setting $wgHiddenPrefs. Will also need to run the maintenance
script to turn it off for people who have it on already.
