             Bug #: 30601
           Summary: Error in preferences confusingly reported on first tab
                    rather than on the tab where it occurs
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: (wikimedia-deployment)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: User preferences
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified


Version: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Version

Go to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#preftab-5 (watchlist
tab) and change Days to show in watchlist: to 10. Try Save.

The result will report "There are problems with some of your input" on the
first tab, but there is no problem on this tab. Carefully opening each tab may
find the problem (there is a max of 7 on the watchlist days), but this
behaviour is highly confusing. Either a hint about what the error may be should
be displayed on the first tab (including the tab name), or the tab opened
directly (difficult perhaps if more than one tab is affected).
