Change 697837 had a related patch set uploaded (by Bartosz Dziewoński; author: Bartosz Dziewoński):

[operations/mediawiki-config@master] Enable DiscussionTools' topicsubscription as beta feature on Beta Cluster

Change 697837 merged by jenkins-bot:

[operations/mediawiki-config@master] Enable DiscussionTools' topicsubscription as beta feature on Beta Cluster

I can see the interface and subscribe/unsubscribe, but I'm not actually getting any notifications. I filed a separate task about that: T284175.
