Just linking with MediaWiki-extensions-AccountInfo to note the overlap.

I tweaked the description to focus on the account data download, since that's all we're doing right now.

Sounds good.

Sounds good. I will put this in for design now.

@Prtksxna, I'm moving this to the In Design column. You're up!

Does the user need to be taken to a special page to download the report? Do we know the design requirements for the Special page as well? Would it be ok to trigger the download directly from the "User profile" tab?

Can't we just add a link to download the data as JSON? I'm confused what we need a design for

@Prtksxna I believe that's what Joe meant -

the downloadable report will be available from the "User profile" tab of Preferences

It will not be a new special page.

@MusikAnimal The design is probably about where the button/link should be and how the subtext (For additional information contact privacy@wikimedia.org) should appear.

@Prtksxna, @Niharika - I'm fine with not having a special page so long as we have some kind of text accompanying the link or button that links off to a help page explaining the data and how to request additional data. So something like "For additional information, see [Help:Downloading account data]." The default message should link off to a help page on MediaWiki.org, although we'll probably want to override this (via WIkimediaMessages extension) to point to a more WMF-customized version on meta.

@Prtksxna - As far as design, I guess we need to figure out if this is a button or a link or what. It doesn't need to be very prominent as I expect it will rarely be used.

Got it. The description earlier said "When the user gets to the special page…", so I got confused. Sorry about that!

We could either put this in the basic information section, or create a new section for it at the bottom of the page:

Basic Information	Own section at the bottom

@jmatazzoni - Both of those designs look fine to me. Any preference?

Yes, the first one makes more sense, since it puts the link in the Basic Information section. I'll add it to the Description.

Regarding the help page discussed above, we decided that it doesn't need to have any special functionality after all. The (standard) Help page as we worked it out is defined in T210007. I'll also fix the part of the description that talks about a "special version of the page,"

@Prtksxna, the engineers have noted that the alignment of the help link here is not possible/standard. It will be aligned left under the Account Data left label, unless you have some better idea.

Also, there was a question: please confirm that a link is correct here instead of a button.

Aligning it to the left is fine.

It is not an action that a user would do often, so it doesn't need the prominence of a button. So yes, its a link.

Some of the design standards around this might be changing, see T203727: Restructure and improve 'Basic information' section.

@Prtksxna, @aezell things this download process might take some time. Do we have a standard "working" animation we can add to the UX here? Would you mind adding showing a concept for that? I will add it to the Description.

What we show here will depend on how long the download process might take (seconds? minutes?). As for the animation, we can either use the working animation that Volker has made (https://codepen.io/Volker_E/pen/yqNXMe) or the OOUI progress bars.
