Just a quick note to mention that I’m working on a brand new preferences system for MediaWiki, the free software that runs Wikipedia.

Since it’s mostly done, I’ve activated a test setup of it over at my test wiki. Improvements include about ten bug fixes, see the tracking bug for full details (click on the links under “Blocks:”)

So if there’s anything you’ve ever wanted in the Wikipedia preferences system, but were afraid to ask for, now is the time to let me know!
