Extension:PrefSwitch

PrefSwitch was developed specifically to be run as part of the "Beta" rollout (of the Vector skin and page editor enhancements) on Wikimedia wikis in 2010. The extension can of course be run on non-WMF wikis, but documentation is very limited. It provides
 * a way to make it easier for users to turn a set of options on and off
 * an optional survey for users to fill in when they are turning them off.
 * a Special:PrefSwitch page giving details of the changes and a way to opt out

The w:Special:PrefSwitch page it implements is obsolete, and this was was removed from enwiki in 2012.

'''This extension has been migrated from Extension:UsabilityInitiative. During this migration this extension was ported to make use of ResourceLoader functionality, making it only compatible with MediaWiki 1.17+.''' If you are upgrading from the UsabilityInitiative (MediaWiki 1.16 compatible) version, you may need to pay attention to the change in naming for configuration variables. See README for an example.
