Can't choose on which wiki to display my user page

I've created my global page on meta.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org. When I opt it out on another wiki, it is still displayed there. I expected it not to be wisible.

FYI, create a central user page on meta.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org displays that message before saving:

Error: Warning: This action has been automatically identified as harmful. Unconstructive actions will be quickly reverted, and egregious or repeated unconstructive editing will result in your account or IP address being blocked. If you believe this action to be constructive, you may submit it again to confirm it. A brief description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: <div class="mw-parser-output"><p>Log possible Spam edits by new users II </p></div>

Thank you for working on it!

Global userpages still function the same way: you can set to have one and then the override is making a local page, or not have a global page. There are not local overrides for this feature in preferences.

Not yet?

That's a good find. I created task T188423 to keep track of it. Thanks!

Edit: Whoops, I didn't see Keegan's comment before commenting. I think we can make this less confusing though.. Let's discuss this on Phab.
