After T178044 it will be possible to set a local exception for a globalized preference, but the form has to be saved before the matching preference field become enabled. This should happen dynamically with JS instead.

This can be tested on the commtech wiki: https://commtech.wmflabs.org./wiki/Special:Preferences
Do we need to make the "[ ] Set a local exception for this global preference. " look a bit more different (it's just in a smaller font at the moment). Perhaps indented, and with a background colour on hover that envelops the related preference?

@Samwilson Yes, indented for sure. Background on hover sounds nice, let's try it and see how it feels.

I created T186171: Make the "[ ] Set a local exception for this global preference." look a bit more different to capture the discussion in the previous comments.

Sam already created one (right above your comment :) - T186079: Improve display of local-exception checkboxes which we estimated yesterday.
