This task is about writing and deploying the config change necessary for people to gain access to the Reply and New Discussion Tools' new source mode.
Deployment timing
Ideally, this config change can be deployed during a backport window on Tuesday's (11-May) or Wednesday's (12-May):
- Tuesday: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments#Tuesday,_May_11
- Wednesday: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments#Wednesday,_May_12
Requirements
- At wikis where where the Reply and New Discussion Tool are available as either an opt-in beta feature or opt-out user preference (read: all Wikipedias and Wikimedia projects), people who have either tool enabled should:
- See a new setting within Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing's Discussion page section that reads as follows: Enable experimental tools in the quick replying and quick topic adding features' Source modes.
- When the setting is "enabled," people should see the same text editing tools/toolbar available within Reply and New Discussion Tools' source modes, available in its visual modes.
- When the setting is "disabled," people should NOT see any text editing tools/toolbar within Reply and New Discussion Tools' source modes.
- When both the Enable quick topic adding and Enable quick replying settings are TURNED OFF, the Enable experimental tools in the... setting should NOT be visible.
- See a new setting within Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing's Discussion page section that reads as follows: Enable experimental tools in the quick replying and quick topic adding features' Source modes.
- By default, the setting for enabling/disabling text editing tools/toolbar available within the Reply and New Discussion Tools' source modes should be TURNED OFF.
Done
- @ppelberg documents the deployment timing in the Deploying timing section above
