As per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/web/Projects/Wikidata_Descriptions, this is a task to deploy Wikidata descriptions to the second half of mobile web Wikipedias stable channel (but not any of the top 6 wikis).
Deployment should be 9/06/2016
@Moushira the top 6 that would be excluded are English, Japanese, Spanish, German, Russian, and French mobile web Wikipedias, correct?

Enable Wikidata descriptions taglines on labs
Change 307969 had a related patch set uploaded (by Jdlrobson):
Enable on all wikipedias
@ovasileva when enabling this I just realised I enabled everywhere (rather than just wikipedia's like the task asks for). I don't think this is a bad thing as they are useful on projects such as Wikivoyage.
Looking through all the projects in most projects they are harmless and sometimes add value. It looks like metawiki, mediawiki don't make sens. I'd like some guidance on which of the projects I should disable for (the answer may be please just enable this for wikipedia's!).

Mentioned in SAL [2016-09-01T23:32:30Z] <dereckson@tin> Synchronized wmf-config/InitialiseSettings-labs.php: Enable Wikidata descriptions taglines on labs (T143345, no-op in prod) (duration: 02m 52s)
A few questions:
As I read the changes to the configuration (here and here):
- What is the amount of difficulty to turn this off for all projects for now (outside wikipedia) and then turn on later selectively? I think we should go through the list pretty carefully - the descriptions don't always necessarily make sense (in wikivoyage, for example, but I think in wikiquote they might be very useful):
I'd give this a 2. At least one engineer and you, the PO, should review the config change and sign off on it after it has been deployed.
@ovasileva Sam is pretty much spot on.
I'm going to enable on all Wikipedia's today and then we should talk and disable.
With regards to disabling on non-Wikipedia project we should talk asap and I can disable them in a follow up once I know which ones. We've been showing taglines on nearby/search for years so we should be careful about where and what we disable.
Annoyingly my entire morning is busy tomorrow are you able to set something up for afternoon?

@ovasileva descriptions are live everywhere.
I can remove them from any projects we don't want them tomorrow, but I'll also need to know whether we want to remove them from search results, nearby and watchlist.
@Jdlrobson - everywhere but the top 6, correct? And yes - I will come up with a proposal asap and we can meet later today to discuss.
Everywhere. Well, almost everywhere. Wikidata descriptions aren't displayed as taglines on mediawiki- and metawiki.
From #wikimedia-mobile:
2:32:56 PM <phuedx> i just wanted to clarify that, afaict from the config changes, wikidata descriptions are enabled everywhere (apart from as taglines on mediawikiwiki and metawiki) 2:33:22 PM <olliv> phuedx: yes, I noticed - do you know why? 2:33:47 PM <phuedx> no 2:34:28 PM <olliv> do you think it's possible to turn them off at least for the top 6 asap or should we wait for jonr? 2:38:08 PM <phuedx> olliv: we've missed the mid-day swat window 2:38:24 PM <phuedx> but i can line up a config change for this evening (1800 utc) 2:41:17 PM <olliv> phuedx: okay - let's do that
Change 308990 had a related patch set uploaded (by Phuedx):
Disable Wikidata descriptions for 6 Wikipedias
@phuedx : thank you!
just to clarify, as per task description - wikidata descriptions should be on for all wikipedias but the top 6
for the top 6, we will turn them on sequentially based on community response
for French wikipedia, the current consensus is that wikidata descriptions will not be available as taglines, but will be available in all other cases. This might change later as well.
Okay now I'm totally confused.
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T143344 asked to deploy to everywhere but top 6 and that was done last week. So what's this task (part 2) about?
I can swat Sam's patch today but it seems this task should have been merged to avoid confusion.
This task says "As per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/web/Projects/Wikidata_Descriptions, this is a task to deploy Wikidata descriptions to the second half of mobile web Wikipedias stable channel (but not any of the top 6 wikis)." The other task says "As per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/web/Projects/Wikidata_Descriptions, this is a task to deploy Wikidata descriptions to the first half of mobile web Wikipedias stable channel (but not any of the top 6 wikis)."
Yup but the first task was resolved after enabling all on all wikis except top 6. I must confess I was under the understanding during sprint kick off we decided to scrap that (half wikis) and the cards were going to be updated/merged. Obviously I misunderstood that conversation and have been going on autopilot ever since.
I've added Sam's patch to the swat calendar for 11am to clean this up. Sorry I didn't read the mediawiki link.
@Jdlrobson: No, there were no changes to task descriptions necessary, but it was also my bad not to notice that the first task enabled them to all (and not the first half), we could have resolved the confusion then
I just want to double-check: my patch should disable all forms of Wikidata descriptions showing up on the top 6 Wikipedias?
Please remember that we can show Wikidata descriptions as taglines, in search results, in a user's watchlist, and in Special:Nearby results and that these are configured separately.
@phuedx - as of now, yes. Will discuss on whether we should turn them back on for all cases but taglines and can change that when we change the descriptions appearing through all projects.
Ok, summary:
Enable wikidata descriptions everywhere for all cases, except taglines. Enable wikidata descriptions as taglines on the following projects:
or rather, disable wikipedia descriptions as taglines for the following:
Seems they're still on.
Current behavior:
not as expected- taglines still on for top 6 wikipedias
as expected - taglines on for: wikiquote, wikispecies, wikivoyage, commons, labs
The second deploy seems to have reenable them on Russian and English. Investigating...

I'm really hopeful I've done this now. So many swat deploys... I need to lie down. Please test vigorously but we should be showing taglines on https://en.m.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Caribbean, https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexy_Zone but not https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/S or https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama
Note pages are subject to cache so if you see the description please append action=purge to URL
e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama?action=purge and see if it goes away after that action.
Sorry for everything. I'm going to get bubble tea.
