Tracked in Phabricator
Task T352204

I could not find any documentation on how to set a custom made namespace preset as default. I was able to set a custom namespace preset, but "Default" will always be the one checked by default. User have to manually select the new one every time.

Furthermore, the labeling does not work. I set

$wgAdvancedSearchNamespacePresets = [
        'preset-kma' => [
                'enabled' => true, // indication that this preset should be shown to the user
                'namespaces' => [ '0', '2', '6', '12', '14' ], // list of namespaces to include in this preset
                'label' => 'advancedsearch-namespaces-preset-kma' // id of the translation to use to label the prese>
        ],
];

Which works, but setting the File "MediaWiki:Advancedsearch-namespaces-preset-kma" does not display the label

I think you are looking for $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault. You probably don't even need a custom preset when you use this instead.

In case you end with two defaults – your new one and the build-in one – add 'defaultNamespaces' => [ 'enabled' => false ], to your $wgAdvancedSearchNamespacePresets configuration to remove the build-in default.

The problem with the label turns out to be an oversight. At the moment only some pre-defined messages can be used. I don't think this limitation is intentional and created phab:T352204 to fix it. Thanks a lot for reporting this!
