T290507: Review the icon for the Mentor dashboard should be addressed for the release at pilot wikis.

@OTichonova, @RHo, @Urbanecm_WMF - while testing Special:MentorDashboard functionality I noticed that there is no an easy ways to discard selected filters and return to the default state.

Use case #1 - a user selects several filters and performs a search. To return to the default state, a used needs to open "Add filter" and remove selected filters' values one by one

Use case #2 (probably ok) - a user searches for a username from the search bar:

[mediawiki/extensions/GrowthExperiments@master] Move variables related to mentor dashboard to variables.less

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/719248

@Trizek-WMF Unfortunately, I had to remove fr.wp from the list of candidate wikis. I ran the update script on all the wikis from the second deployment trial list to get a sense about its performance on those wikis. It finished quickly on all the wikis you listed, except frwiki. On the French Wikipedia, the updating script was running for two days (that quite surprises me, since frwiki has less mentees than arwiki does). Since we update mentor dashboard daily, it's not possible to include that wiki in the second deployment set (as the overall update time must be less than 24 hours as-of now).

For the reasons described above, deployment of mentor dashboard to French Wikipedia is currently blocked by T290609: Make mentee overview module's updateMenteeData.php scale better, which will hopefully make the updating script scale better.

Works for me.

In an off-Phabricator conversation, @Urbanecm_WMF said that performance issues have been covered regarding the second set of wikis we plan to work with. So we re-include fr.wp to the list.

FTR, I created https://superset.wikimedia.org/superset/dashboard/294/ which has the views data (likely not visible for most team members). Once the three weeks pass, I'll use it to generate some easy-to-access numbers for access by other teammates :).

The following wikis will receive the mentor dashboard as a new round of tests:

• az.wp
• ckb.wp
• fr.wp
• ku.wp
• uk.wp
• ro.wp

@Urbanecm_WMF, can we deploy on Wedlesday? I will inform the community on Monday.

Sure thing! Setting a reminder for Wednesday.

I pinged the wikis regarding the upcoming deployment.

I'm adding user-notice to this task, regarding the global deployment since it is, well, global. Any community can turn it on just by setting up a list of mentors.

@Trizek-WMF Mentor dashboard is now available at the wikis listed at T278920#7450556.

@Trizek-WMF Thank you for supplying draft wording for Tech News! There are two problems:

1. The link to [[Special:MentorDashboard]] will be a redlink at all non-Wikipedias (as it is in Meta-wiki when I preview it), so I am reluctant to include it directly.
   • We cannot just link to [[w:Special:MentorDashboard]], because whilst that works as desired from Frwiktionary (it leads to Frwiki), the same link at Frwiki leads to Enwiki... :-(
   • We cannot just use plaintext, because then it is either "In English" at non-English wikis, or translators need to be told how to translate it.
   • Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve this?
2. At Wikipedias which are not already using the feature, which IIUC is most of them, the Special page leads to a dead-end. I suggest this needs to be improved, before it is widely advertised. [See screenshot below]

Here is the (slightly amended) draft wording, to continue iterating from:

At all Wikipedias, a Mentor Dashboard is now available at Special:MentorDashboard. It allows registered mentors, who take care of newcomers' first steps, to monitor their assigned newcomers' activity. It is part of the [[mw:Growth/Feature summary | Growth features]]. You can learn more about [[mw:Growth/Communities/How_to_configure_the_mentors%27_list |activating the mentor list]] on your wiki and about [[mw:Growth/Mentor dashboard | the mentor dashboard project]].

thank you for the proposal, @Quiddity. I would only highlight the Special page by using <code>.

Regarding this error message, I'm not sure about your feedback. Could you clarify, please?

We would include this announcement as a Recent change in Tech News. As a consequence, one visiting this page now, or when the deployment will be made broadly, sees the message inviting to enroll as a mentor.

It's my understanding that we plan to put the announcement into tech news after we deploy the mentor dashboard to all Wikipedias (assuming no blockers will be found, should happen in the next three weeks or so). Once that happens, you'd only see "you need to enroll as a mentor" message (if you aren't already a mentor), which sounds like an appropriate link.

It would reach to a dead-end to all non-Wikipedia subscribers (except frwiktionary). I'm not sure how to deal with that the best way. A magic redirect going to the special page if it's a Wikipedia, and to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Mentor_dashboard otherwise?

Oh! Ok, that clarifies things. I had misunderstood that it was meant to be in this week's issue.

Sure! As an editor at Swwiki (or any wiki which has not yet completed the setup), if I go to https://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maalum:MentorDashboard then I currently just see a message saying

Mentor dashboard is not enabled at this wiki.
Return to [Main Page].

Instead, I would prefer to see a message that says (something like this?)

The Mentor Dashboard can be enabled on this wiki.
To begin, your community needs to decide on a page-name. This page will contain the documentation and signup-list for the volunteer mentors. An Interface Admin will need to help with the page creation. (See existing page-name examples in Wikidata)
See How to configure the mentors' list for further details.
You can translate the rest of the user interface at [[translatewiki:.....]].`

@Quiddity, look at the message where the dashboard is available. This message is only visible at wikis where a mentor list exists, since we have a limited deployment at the moment.

@Urbanecm_WMF, is there a different message for when the dashboard will be available everywhere? If not, maybe we could think of a different message when the mentor list exist, and when it doesn't. Depending on your reply, I will create a separate task if needed.

It says "Before mentor dashboard can be used, mentor list first needs to be configured. An administrator can use Special:EditGrowthConfig for that purpose." when there's no mentor list and "To enable mentor dashboard, you first need to enroll as a mentor." when there is a list, but the user is not enrolled there.

We can obviously change those two messages to pretty much anything.

The last step is to provide the mentor dashboard to all wikis.
The list of wikis with an active list of mentors is: (the ones in italics already have the dashboard)

Besides the announcement on Tech News, I will also post a message to the mentors list talk page.

@Urbanecm_WMF, can you confirm that:

• The dashboard will be available for all users registered on a mentor list?
• For wikis where there is no mentor list yet, it will be automatically available when a mentor list is created?
• The deployment is just a config change, hence can be done anytime (for instance on Tuesday Dec 7)?

Correct.

Just confirming I've added this to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2021/49 - Thanks!

Re-checked Special:Mentordashboard functionality on betalabs and testwiki wmf.9 - all looks as expected.

Note: the updates on mentees' activities or a new mentee being claimed do not get reflected promptly on the Special:MentorDashboard. It takes for 45-90 min for changes to appear on the dashboard.

Follow-up to T280307#7547355: I think this task should wait for full deployment (the last unchecked checkbox in description), and then we can resolve it.

That's great to know, thanks!

Do you mean the mentee overview module? If so, that's expected: the module runs every three hours (at 15th minute every third hour, starting at 0:15 UTC).

I prepared the config change that we can merge on Dec 7. I'll wait for an OK before doing the deployment.

Communities have been pinged.

@Urbanecm_WMF, you can proceed according to schedule.

Not sure whether this is worth a new task: The newly activated mentor dashboard in the German Wikipedia is shown as "Mentor dashboard" in the top navigation, although the correct translation ("Lotsen-Verwaltungsseite") was already added months ago: https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=MediaWiki:Growthexperiments-mentor-dashboard-title/de&oldid=10241188

So it looks like the translation string is not used in the link text. Should I open a new task for that?

@Tkarcher, thank you for your report.
In the personal tools toolbar, the message used is growthexperiments-mentor-dashboard-pt-link, which has been translated today. It will be deployed soon..

Ah, ok. I somehow missed this second string. Thanks!

@Urbanecm_WMF - another question: it seems that MentorDashboard show only mentees that were active during last six months or so. Was it documented anywhere?

Sorry, missed this somehow. It is noted in the (i) button for mentee overview, see screenshot below:

Will be clarified a bit with the upcoming train.

It seems that we are all done there. Can we close it, @Urbanecm_WMF?
