To create personal user (browser) preferences,

make a copy of this page somewhere, preferably as Profiles.insert_your_name_here-Preferences
edit that page with your new preferred settings,
select Set Preferences of this Page on the page containing your newly created settings.

This sets a preference cookie on your browser which tells PmWiki where to find your personal preference settings.

To revert to the PmWiki default preferences

select Revert to PmWiki Default Preferences to unset the preference cookie

See also Cookbook:UserConfigurations about how to customise the edit form for personal use.

Note that by default, parsing of Site.Preferences is disabled. To make it the default site preference, add

 XLPage('prefs', "Site.Preferences");

to a config file (e.g. local/config.php).

To disable user preferences entirely set $EnablePrefs = 0;
