More clearly relate the link that appears within the hint to Special:Preferences
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

This task involves the work with more clearly relating the link to set the legacy experience as your default that appears in the hint within the legacy section=new experience to the Enable quick topic adding setting within Special:Preferences.

Story

As someone who is wanting to use the legacy section=new experience to start new talk page discussions on desktop, I want to be able to locate the setting necessary to make this happen, so that I can start talk page discussions using the interface I prefer.

Thank you to @Kaartic for raising this issue on mediawiki.org: "The various links in the hints appeared to work fine. That includes the link to preferences to set legacy as the default. There was one gap that I noticed there. It took some time to identify that the actual preference is named "Enable quick topic adding". I'm wondering if this may be because the link text said something about setting legacy experience as default but neither the actual preference name nor its description had any mention of "legacy" in it. It might be nice if something could be done to improve this part."
