Extension:PrefSwitch

PrefSwitch was developed specifically to be run as part of the Beta rollout (of the Vector skin and new editing features?) on Wikimedia wikis; it may or may not be useful to third-party users. The extension can of course be run on non-WMF wikis, but documentation is very limited.

It should probably be removed, the w:Special:PrefSwitch page it implements is obsolete , but supposedly Extension:SimpleSurvey depends on it, and other extensions depend on that, including Extension:ArticleFeedback.

'''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.
