[Config Change] Enable all DiscussionTools by default at partner wikis (mobile)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In T298062, we will run an A/B test on mobile talk pages to evaluate the cumulative impact of all of the DiscussionTools we've built. [i]

This task involves deploying the aforementioned suite of mobile DiscussionTools to the initial mobile partner wikis ahead of the A/B test beginning. This way, we can ensure these features are working in the ways: A) volunteers expect them to and B) we have designed them to.

Event Timeline

Amusingly, I went to write the patch for this and it was all already done in T298221. These wikis (plus Japanese) have had mobile DT enabled by default since the end of June.

Change 835697 had a related patch set uploaded (by DLynch; author: DLynch):

[mediawiki/extensions/DiscussionTools@master] Visual enhancement features are now part of the mobile set

Tragically, I was wrong. They've had the config applied, but this task is really more changing the meaning of the config.

I noticed that Japanese Wikipedia is missing from the list here, but it was included in T318302. Is this intentional? I hope not, because if it is, we'll need some special configuration for it.

DLynch added a project: Editing QA.

QA note: you can test the addition of the features on any beta site that's not the english beta site. They'll appear on the scheduled wikis in next week's deployment. I'll note here if I wind up backporting the patch to speed that up.

Good spot, @matmarex

Summarizing yesterday...

We decided to continue with the plan to exclude ja.wiki from this deployment. Doing so was made possible by T318871 which will be removed in T318868 before T318870 happens.

Hi, I had a quick look at w:fr. I saw the “[ reply ], “latest comment” and “🔔 subscribe” affordances in the mobile talk overlay but not in the mobile “read as wiki page” view. Is that intentional?

@Pelagic That's correct! (Though there's not really an "overlay" any more.) I think we decided to persist the previous mobile behavior of "read as wiki page" meaning to view it without any sort of tool assistance. It's arguably confusing now, I'll admit.
