Make 'emailExplain' variant default behavior
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

from comments on T215939:

ejegg: Do you want to keep this as a 'variant' that needs to be triggered by that URL parameter, or would you rather this be the default behavior for any form where the donor has opted out of email lists upstream (on a banner or donatewiki)?

pcoombe: Thanks @Ejegg ! We'd be happy to make this default for anyone who opted out, and shorten our URLs by removing the variant parameter :)

@Pcoombe, @spatton just a heads-up that this will be rolling out along with the 'employer' field variants (T219558), hopefully later today. After that, the 'emailExplain' variant should be unnecessary so you can test the employer variants in places you're currently using emailExplain.

Thanks @Ejegg! I tested this and it looks good, so have removed the code adding variant=emailExplain from banners (diff) and donatewiki (diff). Great point that this will free us up to test other variants too, I hadn't thought of that.
