Template:Myprefs
Usage[change source]
This template creates a link to Special:Preferences with an optional link to a particular tab, an optional setting name, and an optional value. There are also options to display an unchecked or checked box with user specified text. The output of this template is formatted to set it off from any other text in the sentence.
