As you said, it's something that is needed even before account > creation, which is an issue in itself. 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. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
