In Wikipedia's Special:Watchlist , if I click "Hide logged-in users" I get a URL as follows: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Watchlist&hideLiu=1 If I then click "Show logged-in users", I get the same URL and logged-in users remain hidden. Other than manually editing the URL to read either: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Watchlist&hideLiu=0 or http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Watchlist ...there appears to be no intuitive way to return to the "Show logged-in users" default. I think that clicking "Show logged-in users" should change the GET string to have hideLui=0 . I find this particularly irritating, as I am a recent changes patroller who concentrates on anonymous edits as my primary priority. I have the "hide logged-in users" watchlist page bookmarked, and check for anonymous vandalism first (as I believe vandalism is more likely from an anonymous user than from a logged-in account). Once my anonymous check is complete, if I have time, I then usually wish to move to checking logged-in changes... but can't, without editing the URL by hand. Wikimedia's About page says it is running Wikimedia 1.16alpha-wmf(r55629), but I could not see that on the bug report Version drop-down (is it equivalent to 1.16-svn?).
Updating summary, this affects all of the options. They can only be toggled once from your specified default preferences.
