Topic on Extension talk:GuidedTour

This is by design.

We try to create a tour that explains important places in the Preferences.

We are unable to start the tour on Special:Preferences?tour=ourtour. No log entry, no JS errors. On all other Special pages, the tour can be started without any issues. Any idea?

$wgAllowUserJs = true;

has no effect.

@Planetenxin: This is by design. User scripts (including gadgets, JS in MediaWiki namespace, etc.) are not allowed to run on Special:Preferences for security reasons.

(It sounds like you are using an on-wiki script (defined on a wiki page). If you are using an extension, that also will not work, but that part could potentially be revisited.)
