Change hardcoded defaults from SpecialNewpages with preferences (6.15 KB, patch) 2010-12-01 17:14 UTC, Umherirrender	Details
Show Obsolete (1) Add an attachment (proposed patch, testcase, etc.)

Description Umherirrender 2009-01-10 15:20:01 UTC

Please add preferences to show (or hide) the option "logged-in users"/"bots"/"redirects" per default on Special:NewPages like the preferences for watchlist or recent changes

Please have a look at bug 7039 for more option for recent changes

Comment 1 Aaron Schulz 2009-01-15 18:17:11 UTC

Hmm, still some room under the RC preference tab. Hide patrolled might be useful I guess.

Comment 2 Umherirrender 2009-01-17 20:19:27 UTC

The Special:newpages is a part of RC and so the preference can add to that tab, that's ok.

To complete bug 16969 a option for patrolled edits is needed.

Comment 3 Aaron Schulz 2009-01-18 00:02:20 UTC

Done in r45857

Comment 4 Umherirrender 2009-02-28 15:57:58 UTC

I reopen this bug, because with r45857 only 'newpageshidepatrolled' where added and the other option are still missing.

I think the option can useful for small wikis, the same as bug 7039.

Comment 5 Purodha Blissenbach 2009-04-19 18:45:37 UTC

Partially fixed with Revision r49646.

Comment 6 Chad H. 2009-04-19 21:04:56 UTC

Reverted in r49651

Comment 7 Umherirrender 2010-12-01 17:14:29 UTC

Created attachment 7881 [details]
Change hardcoded defaults from SpecialNewpages with preferences

The attached patch added user preferences for the options on Special:NewPages.

On the preferences page two new sections are added. One for Special:RecentChanges options and one for Special:NewPages options.

Feel free to modify.

Comment 8 Umherirrender 2012-04-05 18:42:17 UTC

patch commited together with bug 27050 with Gerrit change #4350

Comment 9 Umherirrender 2012-05-05 14:42:42 UTC

(In reply to comment #8)
> patch commited together with bug 27050 with Gerrit change #4350

change abandoned, because (so many) new preferences are not assisted by mediawiki developer

Comment 10 Umherirrender 2014-01-04 19:57:55 UTC

Looks like new preferences will not get accepted, so no need to keep this bug open. Mabye the preferences will be added, when there get saved directly from the special page, but that can be done along with that fix, see bug 31881 for that.
