Just reiterating that discussing individual preferences (not to mention touching them) is a very bad idea before we have good criteria of some sort to evaluate them. Usage stats are a requirement but such criteria are not only about them because some preferences may be of small harm for many and of great use for "a few" (like thousands or dozens of thousands of users) who may also happen to be the most active users, making such prefs a net positive. Oh, and of course "gadgetization of preferences" means (almost) nothing.
Admittedly, having started circa 2003, I've not revisited or reset most of those settings very often -- and didn't notice some even existed. But I don't usually run with JavaScript (rather, I use NoScript by default), so "gadgetization" seems like a terrible idea to me! You're not saving anything by moving from one place to another. It's just another chance for further bit-rot. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
