Bug #: 29712
Summary: Default user options in MessagesXx files have no
effect
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User preferences
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
The settings in the default user options in MessagesXx.php files (where xx is
the wiki content language), have no effect. The value is overridden by the
values in DefaultSettings.php. When removing an option from DefaultSettings, it
uses the value again from MessagesXx.php
This bug is present for quite some time, since the defaultUserOptionOverrides
are almost only used for quickbar (used by some legacy skins) by RTL languages,
which is a small userbase so it didn't get noticed.
(Interesting side-note: in the case of quickbar for RTL languages, this bug is
being "corrected" by another bug: CSS for RTL languages is flipped, so where
"left" is the default option, it's flipped to "right", so your preferences will
say you have left, while it's right, which it should be, but because of
MessagesXx options and not because the CSS it's flipped)
