As part of migrating Special:EditGrowthConfig to the Community configuration 2.0 system, we need to migrate the "Newcomer homepage" section from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:EditGrowthConfig to Special:CommunityConfiguration. This task captures that work.

[mediawiki/extensions/GrowthExperiments@master] Community configuration: Add HomepageSchema
Tested in eswiki beta and compared with es.Special:EditGrowthConfig.
Issues:
(1) Special:EditGrowthConfig indicates that two fields in Newcomer Homepage are required fields; eswiki beta Especial:CommunityConfiguration/GrowthHomepage doesn't display those fields as required.
| eswiki wmf.2 | eswiki beta |
|---|---|
 |  |
(2) ( - could not reproduce it.) If a user attempts to save an empty field Special:EditGrowthConfig or a field with a non-existent page, there will be specific warning and the save fails; eswiki beta Especial:CommunityConfiguration/GrowthHomepage will display
| eswiki wmf.2 | eswiki beta |
|---|---|
  |  |
(3) Special:EditGrowthConfig doesn't allow users without special permission to edit the fields - the fields cannot be edited; eswiki beta Especial:CommunityConfiguration/GrowthHomepage displays the warning to users without proper rights after they submitted the form. The warning message is not specific.

(4) a question to @Urbanecm_WMF
GEHomepageSuggestedEditsIntroLinks has two fields that add links to two different places in eswiki wmf.2 - create "Wikipedia:Asistente para la creación de artículos"is t "Learn more" link in Select types of edits and image "mw:Help:VisualEditor/User_guide/es#Images" to a link in the Help module. It is expected that admins have a good understanding of where such links should go?
(5) (minor) Clicking in the field where a valid page is entered, will display "No results found" which looks confusing since a page does exists. The general Search field doesn't behave like this. See the animated gif below.
Thanks for testing @Etonkovidova 😊

This should be resolved with T364504: Community Configuration: optional fields should be indicated with optionalFlag.

I believe these two could be improved in T363855: Improve validation errors wording and behavior. @Sgs could you correct me if I am mistaken please?

I believe @Sgs you commented the reasoning for this during Estimation/Sprint planning. Is there an engineering task for resolving this?
Acceptance criteria is crossed out so I will close this as resolved and we can continue with the open questions in other tasks. Feel free to re-open if there's disagreement on this.
