Email-allow-new-users-label checkbox should not be available but is switchable
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Open the https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences, I noticed that "MediaWiki:Email-allow-new-users-label" checkbox I have set as a global option but presented as a switchable blue after the page loaded. Before the page is loaded, all checkboxes are grayed out and inoperable. If I switch the set to local exception checkbox of the Email-allow-new-users-label box twice, the Email-allow-new-users-label box change to the correct gray.

Event Timeline

Things have probably changed since this was first reported (sorry for the slow response!) but it's looking like the bug might be even worse now: when I go to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences, none of the preferences with global values are disabled (and they all should be, with only the local-exception box enabled). It appears to be the same on all wikis.
