I believe this number is stored, so it should be trivial to expose. It's mostly a design question. Jared: thoughts?

Maybe as a tooltip, but otherwise i think it unnecessarily clutters the UI, and would make the text for the action harder to parse for people.

this number it is not stored. this extension have a betafeatures_user_counts table that store the number of users of some extensions used... but there is no default row for store the "Automatically enable all new beta features" users number. so I believe that will be needed to add a default row in the sql scrept, to store this number.

Honestly it's probably specifically *excepted* from the query that updates the rows, so you could probably add it in pretty quickly.

If not, adding another value also shouldn't be too hard.

You don't need to add a row, it will be possible to do this without changing the schema, you just need to add another criterion ("OR feature_name = betafeatures-auto-enroll" or something) that will also add the list for this, then surface that number in the UI.

And maybe add a cache for it.

So we just have submitted the patch gerrit change 110238, and the basic idea is that we added:

$wgHooks['GetBetaFeaturePreferences'][] = BetaFeaturesHooks::getBetaPreferences';

Then, the BetaFeature auto-enroll option will be handled as any other features, and the number of users will be counted normally.

But since its not needed to show the auto-enroll option like the other beta features in the list. We ignore the auto-enroll in the for loop that show the list, and we show the auto-enroll option, as before, just changing the HTMLFormField to another one that was created.
