Description

Announcement done: https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AKurier&type=revision&diff=169848880&oldid=169847852

Deploying will be done similarly to Swedish:

Anonymous users will get compact language links.
Newly registered users will get compact language links.
Already registered users will get compact language links if they had the beta feature enabled or if they didn't edit in 2017. Already registered users who edited in 2017 and didn't enable the beta feature will get the usual old language links.
All registered users will be able to enable or disable this feature in the preferences.

Schedule: SWAT on 16 October 2017.

(Removing user-notice tag – since this is focused on one wiki, there are better ways to make that wiki aware of what's happening than to mention it in a movement-wide newsletter.)
