The "Automatically enable all new beta features" box isn't working. When the BetaFeatures product was first released, there were 4 items available.[1] The additional item "Nearby Pages" has been added since then, but was not automatically enabled in our preferences. 1. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/11/07/introducing-beta-features/ Filing on behalf of this thread: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:About_Beta_Features#.22Automatically_enable_all_new_beta_features.22_not_working_.28.3F.29
Confirmed - the "New search" BetaFeature was recently added to the options at Enwiki, but not enabled for me, despite having "Automatically enable..." checked.
Setting priority and upgrading importance. HTH.
Change 116721 had a related patch set uploaded by Legoktm: Fix typo when getting auto-enroll preference setting https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/116721
Patch fixes the typo which was making this not work. However, the current code will only enable the new betafeatures when the user visits Special:Preferences, or whenever the 'GetPreferences' hook is run (API's action=options I think). Is that acceptable from a UX point of view?
