Created attachment 12187 [details] Screenshot of echo preferences See screenshot There is no checkbox for web notification of talk page messages. I know that is because we consider them more important and therefore cannot be disabled. The box being missing though implies to me that they don't exist. Can we add a checked, but disabled checkbox to explicitly show that it is compulsory?
We could, but it would introduce some complications. If there is a disabled checkbox, it means that someone could theoretically submit it unchecked (via Firebug or API). We would need to make sure there are validation checks for the disabled items in the Preferences class. Also right now there is no way to generate disabled checkboxes from a checkmatrix in HTMLForm, but that could be added.

This has been merged and deployed to en.wiki. Instead of missing checkboxes there are now grayed unchangable boxes.
