Usage

This template creates a link to Special:Preferences with an optional link to a particular tab, an optional setting name, and an optional value. There are also options to display an unchecked or checked box with user specified text. The output of this template is formatted to set it off from any other text in the sentence.

• {{myprefs}}
• {{myprefs| tab }}
• {{myprefs| tab | setting }}
• {{myprefs| tab | setting | value }}
• {{myprefs| tab | setting | uncheck=text }}
• {{myprefs| tab | setting | check=text }}

Parameters

1 (unnamed)

The first unnamed optional parameter is for the tab; either the tab name or the corresponding number may be used. The names are not case senstive. The numbers may be used, but they no longer represent the current order as displayed in Preferences.
