We've worked on CAPTCHA support in T247513, it should work on mobile as well, but we could double-check it.

T111741 TBD Editing Team will investigate the extent to which this is an issue within the mobile Reply and New Discussion Tools.

See above, done in T270803.

T281544 TBD Editing Team will investigate what – if anything – people experience when attempting to publish an AbuseFilter-triggering edit using mobile DiscussionTools

See above, done in T240519.

I agree with the rest of your review.

@matmarex: I've updated the task description with the outcomes of the review you completed in T278590#7561345.

Note: I've also updated T294617 (see ===Special cases) with instructions to verify the three issues you identified us as having previously resolved (T247513, T270803, T240519) are working as expected on mobile. See: T294617#7561935

Next step

@ppelberg to decline the MobileFrontend-related tickets that will become obsolete once the "Read as wiki page" talk page view becomes the mobile default.

ppelberg closed subtask T298393: No warning about exposing IP address when using mobile "Add discussion" button as Declined.Feb 4 2022, 10:45 PM

This task can be resolved now that:

We've identified and declined all issues that will be made obsolete by the Editing Team replacing the MobileFront talk page overlay with a new DiscussionTools interface: T275584, T240254, T241402, T229725, T244220, T298393
Issues that will persist after the transition to a new DiscussionTools interface talk page interface have been associated with new parent tasks so that we can hold ourselves accountable to addressing them: T281544, T210428, T248024, T111741, T219210, T116686
