Clicking the language button shows a pointer overlay that points to nothing. The button should behave as normal on the main page.

@MBinder_WMF 0.5 sounds right. It blocks the deployment (aka a subtask) as well. So both.

Mentioned in SAL [2016-08-03T23:24:23Z] <dereckson@tin> Synchronized php-1.28.0-wmf.13/extensions/MobileFrontend/includes/skins/SkinMinervaBeta.php: Do not output the 'switch language' action on Main Page in beta (T142016) (duration: 00m 28s)
@bmansurov @Jdlrobson I guess a better question is, is this task part of an existing, already-estimated task, or is it its own task?
I don't recall seeing specification about the Main Page treatment in another task, so I think this is it's own. It's not our first time encountering a Main Page-specific button behavior issue, but it happens!
It's a new task and it's correctly estimated. I've swatted so it's out in production so no longer blocks deploy. Adam please sign off.
