Description

No gather experiment is setup on beta labs or english wikipedia
Thus

bucket = experiments.getBucket( 'gather' );

returns Uncaught Error: The experiment "gather" hasn't been defined.

In this situation the watchstar should still enable on beta.

Re-enable Gather on beta labs when experiment is not setup

@Jdlrobson: Why not just configure the experiment to be always on on Beta Labs? e.g.

$wgMFExperiments => [
  'gather' => [
    'enabled' => true,
    'buckets' => [
      'A' => 1,
    ],
  ],
];

… which is very nearly almost the suggested testing configuration from the original patch.

Verified this on BC.
