In order to facilitate testing of topic matching, we want to have a hidden preference that allows us and our team's ambassadors to toggle the feature on and off in production.

Once this is deployed, the following console snippet will enable topic matching in production:
new mw.Api().saveOption('growthexperiments-homepage-suggestededits-topics-enabled', 1).done( function() { window.location.reload() });
To turn it back off, change the 1 to 0.
Remember that whether topic matching is on or off also affects the activation workflow for suggested edits (in particular, the intro dialog), so you may also want to deactivate suggested edits and go through the activation workflow again:
new mw.Api().saveOption('growthexperiments-homepage-suggestededits-activated', 0).done( function() { window.location.reload() });

I've scheduled the config patch for the 19:00 UTC SWAT on Thursday Jan 16. The train should already have run by then (it's scheduled for 14:00-15:00 UTC).
