Feature requests can be made, and bugs reported, as described at [[Wikipedia:Phabricator]]. The current set of preferences are largely the result of issues raised by newcomers at places such as the [[WP:Village pump|Village pump]], and driven by regulars who hold long discussions and collectively drive issues.
== Preferences page ==
The Preferences page is accessible when you are [[Help:Logging in|logged-in]], but you must have JavaScript enabled in your browser, since the page and all its tabs are an extensive JavaScript application.
Line 21:
Clicking Restore all default settings will harmlessly load another page which will ''then'' offer the button to reset ''all'' preferences in every tab to their default values. This includes a few items that are stored as a preference but that aren't directly editable in Special:Preferences. If you do reset your preferences, you can restore your custom signature from the wikitext of a history page, update your custom CSS or JavaScript from [[Wikipedia:Tools#Browsing and editing|Wikipedia:Tools § Browsing and editing]], and then re-select and save your preferences.
The default settings are aimed at newcomers editing [[WP:articles|articles]]. Intermediate editors tend to activate more features, such as "warn me if I forgot an edit summary", and advanced editors and administrators use the special settings, gadgets and editors for ''their'' tasks.
You have the same username and password on [[Wikipedia:Sister|Sister]] projects such as Wiktionary, at MediaWiki.org itself, and on the Wikipedia of other languages. Each of your account's preferences are independent because each wiki is a website, with their own administration (namespaces, settings, accounts, etc.). Even the word "Preferences" on the top may be set differently! At [[Simple Wikipedia]] it says "My settings".
