Description[edit | edit source]

Preferences is an extension allowing wiki administrators to change key settings of the wiki, without resorting to scripts and manual settings in LocalSetting.php file. These settings are wiki-wide, although some of them can be overriden on user level through UserPreferences.

Technical backgroundUsage / Features[edit | edit source]

Preferences lets you control the behaviour of extensions and set default values.

Where can I find the Preferences function?

Firstly, you need to have administration permissions in order to call up Preferences. If you have the correct permissions, you will be able to see the link "Preferences" in the "Global settings" and then on "Preferences" as you see on the image below. Click on the link and you will be taken to the administration page.
