Product debt: Drop amcOutreachDrawer
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

AMC outreach was finished a long time ago but the drawer remains and is shipped to all users at cost.
We should consider removing it.

Moving to PO decisions column for discussion - I think there is a good case for leaving there it as well - currently it appears once for all users with 100+ edits - if we remove it, it means editors who reach 100 edits in the future might not find out that AMC exists (or it will be more difficult for them). @Jdlrobson - what would be the maintenance cost of keeping it for the time being?

It looks like its still enabled, but if we decide to disable it we should also remove it. I should note its very hard to test so has a high risk of suffering from regressions as we're unlikely to monitor it. We had similar issues with the pointer overlay which was kept around longer than anticipated (T142579) to the point it became unusable.

On the plus side it is documented in https://doc.wikimedia.org/MobileFrontend/master/js/ui/?path=/story/amc--outreachdrawer so provided we keep an eye on that, this will be less risky than the pointer overlay.

Olga I know you talked about re-running this recently. Can we please consider re-enabling it or removing the associated code?~~~

Update: It seems this code is still enabled everywhere. Should it be? Is it having any effect?

Checked in with Olga and we want to keep this indefinitely and possibly use it to target users with high edit counts.
