Background edit

The MediaWiki special page Special:Preferences contains a number of checkboxes. The values for these check boxes come from two sources:

  • a list of hard coded toggles defined in User.php
  • toggles added dynamically via the UserToggles hook.

Details edit

Implementers add their dynamically generated toggles by adding elements to $extraToggles. The array consists of a list of system messages, each of which identifies the user toggle and its accompanying localized check box message.
