Ehm, did you get my point or do you just consider it useless? You're misusing
the word "immediate". We currently have a very simple way to decide what's on
the account creation page; in your proposal there is none and this means mess
and inconsistencies.
I mentioned language but apparently I need more examples. If you get this
preference added to account creation page, I want also the whole "E-mail
options" section of [[Special:Preferences]] there, because email preferences
are something users care about and most websites will (or are even required to)
say/ask /immediately/ what they're going to do with your email. And I can go
on, if you want me in nitpicking mode: A wants <random preference from
Preferences/Editing> because it's so important and many users will make an edit
<del>/immediately/</del> soon after account creation; B wants the preference to
enable/disable the image filter because it's oh so obviously important (ok, we
can hope no such filter will ever exist, but...); etc.
