For examples of other extensions using this hook, see Category:SpecialUpdateProfile::saveSettings_pref extensions.
The SpecialUpdateProfile::saveSettings_pref hook is called at the end of the saveSocialPreferences method in SpecialUpdateProfile.php and it allows other extensions (like UserMailingList) to do their magic after the Special:UpdateProfile page has saved the data to the database.
The "administrative" version of the Special:UpdateProfile page, Special:EditProfile, which admins and/or other privileged users can use to change other users' social profiles to e.g. remove offensive content or spam etc. does not run this hook, only the Special:UpdateProfile page runs this hook.
This hook was originally added in August 2011 to allow preserving for the UserMailingList extension functionality without including site-specific code in SocialProfile and allowing UserMailingList to cleanly interact with SocialProfile. As of July 2025 the UserMailingList has not been fixed up and publicly released; if you're interested in it, please let me know.
