@Madalina @JSengupta-WMF we might want to think about this task for the MTP.

Can this be a simple "mailto:" link that will launch a browser or email client with the subject field pre-filled?

It could be, but then we'd expose this address to potentially ill-intentioned people.

What I had in mind waa report button that is present in the toolbar or otherwise at the top of the page, for cases where DiscussionTools doesn't load properly; everything else about the experience (loading the reporting application) would be the same.

@JSengupta-WMF @Madalina to keep things simple, my proposal is that we add a "Report" link in the page overflow menu in Minerva and in the Tools menu in Vector, if the user is viewing a page that is in a namespace we have configured to show the report button. And to keep thing simple, I would propose we have the link present in those menus, even if we have also added the link in DiscussionTools.

Page overflow menu in Minerva:

Tools menu in Vector 2022:

What do you think?

We discussed this in our BXT meeting on Sept 20 and agreed on the following:

• We will add a Report link to the the page overflow menu in Minerva and in the Tools menu in Vector.
• We will add instrumentation to those links to understand how people use them.

Some more work is needed (mainly instrumentation and whether to hide the menu item if the page is blank), so moving back to Ready.

I think we could handle instrumentation in a separate task. As long as there's a unique class, data attribute or ID for us to identify how the user arrived at the report incident app, we should be OK.

There is ext-reportincident-link, but I don't think that is necessarily clear enough as to it being just for the menus. Therefore it might make sense to add another class for instrumentation.

Also I need to work out why the icon won't display in Minerva on betawikis.

Suggested QA steps:

1. Install the ReportIncident extension
2. Install the MinervaNeue and Vector skins
3. Log into an account
4. Load the page Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering and choose Vector (2022) (this may be the pre-selected option)
5. Press the Save button if you needed to change the active skin.
6. Open a user talk page
7. Scroll to the bottom of the page
8. Verification step 1: Verify there is no Report button shown at the bottom of the user talk page. If it it exists it would look like:

9. Verification step 2: Verify that a Report link appears in the Tools menu
10. Click on this link
11. Verification step 3: Verify that a dialog appears
12. Load the page Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering and change the skin to MinervaNeue
13. Open a user talk page
14. Click on More present in the tools at the top of the page which has three vertically aligned dots as it's icon
15. Verification step 4: Verify that a Report link with a flag icon is shown in this dropdown menu
16. Click on this link
17. Verification step 5: Verify that a dialog appears

I have verified the following items have been implemented, and are displaying and functioning as expected at url https://patchdemo.wmflabs.org/wikis/c45087b29b/wiki/User_talk:Alice
Great Work @Dreamy_Jazz and @kostajh, and thank you for the QA Steps!!!!
