--- Comment #2 from MZMcBride <b...@mzmcbride.com> --- (In reply to Dan Garry from comment #0) > Rather than having to click save every time a preference is changed, it > would be nice if changes would save automatically. I'm not sure the first part of your comment is accurate. When a user visits Special:Preferences and modifies his or her preferences in different tabs of the user interface, he or she only needs to press the save button once, as I understand it. If this is not the case currently, that sounds like a major user interface behavior regression that needs to be fixed. For this bug report, it sounds like you want per-input auto-save at Special:Preferences in MediaWiki core? What do you envision being the visual cue (if any) to users that their preferences have been auto-saved? And is there solid evidence that users expect this type of behavior and/or wouldn't be annoyed or startled by the introduction of it? (In reply to Quim Gil from comment #1) > Does anybody know the estimate effort of this task? Would it be simple for a > newcomer to dive into it?

It's mostly about figuring out the right way to do this (i.e., without annoying or startling users). The actual technical piece, once we figure out what we want, shouldn't be too difficult. Probably borderline easy task. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
