Change in-editor feedback tool to point to mediawiki.org
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

Per https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T162664#3706442, please let feedback coming from
ilo, he, mr, sv, fi, bn, nl, ko, it, ja, hu, fr, fa, es, ar
land on mw.org.

Original description:
As part of T162664: Second phase of centralisation of VE user feedback, it would be good to point the in-editor "Give feedback" tool to mediawiki.org rather than local wikis. See parent task for more details.

This change itself would not affect the status or existence on the per-wiki feedback pages.

Event Timeline

Dan, the tool already does that, except for wikis that wished to keep feedback local.
So if, say, we implemented this at en.wp, the actual result would be that random, mostly OT content ends up in the mw.org board, while the most relevant content (that's usually not posted through that tool) stays local :)

@Elitre Ah, I didn't know that. I think I misunderstood the request then. @Whatamidoing-WMF, can you elaborate? Thanks!

This question was specifically about whether to redirect the in-editor feedback from the English Wikipedia, but keep the local board active anyway. This can be decided later.

Dan, I've made this more general now. Please assign to whoever can make this happen.
I don't have an opinion about en.wp - I think when we discussed we said we could give it a try, though.

Thanks.

@Elitre Some of these wikis already point to mediawiki.org, namely:

  • ilo
  • he
  • mr

The rest do not, and those can be changed.

Deskana set the point value for this task to 1.

The link is not pointing to mediawiki.org but the local wikis "VisualEditor/Feedback" page that doesn't exist, please fix the link. It was reported at https://fi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Keskustelu_Wikipediasta%3AVisuaalinen_muokkain%2FPalaute&type=revision&diff=16969118&oldid=16851137

This is T125400. Fixing it was more complicated than it seemed whilst some wikis had centralised feedback and others had local feedback, but now that all wikis are using centralised feedback it might be easier to fix.

To be clear, T125400 is a visual glitch in the feedback dialogue only. The feedback does correctly post on mediawiki.org.

For reasons unknown to me, the above patch caused the feedback to be silently discarded. I have no idea why.
