Background
Similar to T256750, we will be deploying the first major changes of the desktop improvements project to a set of test wikis. For this deployment, we would like to minimize the amount of pages seen with the old design. After a conversation with the traffic team, it was decided that the best way forward for this would be to turn caching off for these wikis for the period right before and after the deployment
Open questions
- Which of these wikis will we be able to do this for safely: Turkish Wikipedia, Serbian Wikipedia, Korean Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikipedia, Bengali Wikipedia, German Wikivoyage, Venetian Wikipedia?
Deployment date
TBD, week of March 1
