Inform initial communities about the Contribute entry point
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Once the Contribute entry point (T322740) is available on mobile (T319362) and desktop (T327868) for the initial set of pilot wikis, we want to inform the wikis about the new feature and invite them to provide feedback.

This ticket proposes to send a message to their village pumps where the feature is briefly introduced and links are provided to the corresponding Mediawiki page and talk page.

The message will be sent to these 5 Wikipedias where the feature will be available:

  • Albanian (sq)
  • Bangla (bn)
  • Malayalam (ml)
  • Mongolian (mn)
  • Tagalog (tl)

@ANKAN - adding you to this task, since you mentioned hearing community feedback from the Bangla community about this.
Please look at T322740: Contribute entry point for further details about this experiment.

@Pginer-WMF - it looks like there might be a bug: when using legacy vector, I don't believe the "View contributions" option displays. I tested the Contribute page on bnwiki via Chrome. I haven't tested other skins.

Thanks for flagging this, @KStoller-WMF. The feature can be configured for specific wikis and skins. Initially I thought the issue was related to cases where the feature is enabled on a wiki but not for a particular skin. However the issue seems to affect skins where the feature is enabled but the tabs don't appear for some reason. I created a ticket about this: T337366: Tabs on the "Contribute" page not showing for some skins
