Change 501926 had a related patch set uploaded (by Urbanecm; owner: Urbanecm):

@Urbanecm It'll be enabled for new users only? Or for all registered users?

For all users who haven't changed their preferences. It isn't possible to change a preference for new users only, since the table which stores user's preferences only stores changrs from the default state.

Enable the editing toolbar) This should be already enabled,

Looks good,

Thanks. I'm sorry for the delay, I need to figure out the codename for the preferences. Will try to have a look at it next week.

Aklapper renamed this task from Arabic Wikipedia Default User Preferences to Change numerous Arabic Wikipedia Default User Preferences.May 24 2019, 6:50 PM

This is all ready, except beta section. Per looking into arwiki's user_properties database table, it looks it should be possible to auto-enable a beta feature using the same approach. However, beta features are in beta for a reason, and I'm not sure if processing wouldn't cause anything unwanted. Unless someone more experienced confirms this is possible, I'm not going to do that.
