Re: [Wikitech-l] Unified login vs. unified settings
I'd love it too - but I noticed that different wikis have quite different settings due to different gadgets and extensions being available. So a good solution would have to be smart enough to accommodate this.

It would be better if user could override it on local wiki, or kept using global one, per project On Sun, Apr 15, 2012 at 5:43 PM, Andrew Garrett wrote: > I wrote it once upon a time (in about 2009).

Re: [Wikitech-l] Unified login vs. unified settings
I wrote it once upon a time (in about 2009). It was never reviewed, and I could never find a sensible way to set up an interface for it. Not all preferences are transferrable, not everybody wants any shared preferences at all. I thought about using a whitelist and a single opt-in/out option, but the way I implemented it was a single opt-in/out for all preferences.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Unified login vs. unified settings
I could be easily preference of users to pick if they want to use global settings or override it, should be very easy to implement On Sun, Apr 15, 2012 at 10:50 AM, Martijn Hoekstra wrote: > On Sun, Apr 15, 2012 at 10:42 AM, Ole Palnatoke Andersen > wrote: >> Hi! >> >> I would love to be able to manage my settings in one place - skins, >> language, gender etc. - rather than having to guess which option is which >> in a foreign language where I may even have chosen Cologne Blue in some >> distant past... >> >> I have found no way in the current setup to do so.

That will probably happen at least once to approximately 100 % of the users. It may or may not be a problem, though.

Hi! I would love to be able to manage my settings in one place - skins, language, gender etc. - rather than having to guess which option is which in a foreign language where I may even have chosen Cologne Blue in some distant past... I have found no way in the current setup to do so. Am I overlooking something?
