This bug tracks proposed changes to default settings.

• Mattflaschen-WMF added a comment.Dec 12 2013, 1:19 AM

My understanding is this is intended to refer to everything in DefaultSettings.php, not just preferences.

Is that correct? If so, we should make one specifically for default preferences.

preferences.

Default user preferences ($wgDefaultUserOptions) are a distinct subset of what's in DefaultSettings.php. They're end-user focused and they appear in a particular area of the interface, unless they're hidden.

I think this will make it a little easier to organize the bug relationships.

Default user preferences ($wgDefaultUserOptions) are a distinct subset of
what's in DefaultSettings.php. They're end-user focused and they appear in a
particular area of the interface, unless they're hidden.

Most of the blockers I see here are quite end-user focused, I don't understand the distinction. It's also not very easy to apply, for instance $wgEnotifMinorEdits is not $wgDefaultUserOptions but it makes one more preference available so I would have no idea where to put it with your proposal. Competing tracking bugs with unclear scope are a nightmare.

I think this will make it a little easier to organize the bug relationships.

Like?

(In reply to comment #5)tle easier to organize the bug relationships.

Like?

For instance, if this is intended for everything in DefaultSettings.php, it does not really make sense to block bug 58223 ("Improvements to the layout and contents of Special:Preferences") (since e.g. $wgIncludeLegacyJavaScript has nothing to do with Special:Preferences).

But it would make sense for a bug about default user preferences to block bug 58223.

Nemo_bis added a comment.Dec 13 2013, 8:35 PM

I don't see any reason for bug 58223 to be added as dependency of this or any other preferences tracking bug (bug 58229 was closed).
