CC'ing @ppelberg, the product manager of responsible team, for visibility. Peter, is it ok to do this please?

(Peter is out for a few days, he'll probably reply later this week)

I'll note that DiscussionTools is already available as a beta feature on ptwikinews ("Ferramentas de discussão" at https://pt.wikinews.org/wiki/Especial:Preferências#mw-prefsection-betafeatures). Can you clarify what is your request?

I am guessing that you'd like the reply tool to be enabled by default for all users? (It's already configured that way on several wikis, so this shouldn't be a problem.)

I'd advise against enabling the new discussion tool for all users for now. We haven't configured it that way on any wiki yet, because there are a few unresolved issues with it (see the subtasks of T271964). I think we're planning to work on those some time this year.

@matmarex Hi! It's exactly what you said. Wikinews has recently enabled the VisualEditor and this talk page tool will be very useful too.

Change 700677 had a related patch set uploaded (by Bartosz Dziewoński; author: Bartosz Dziewoński):

[operations/mediawiki-config@master] Offer the DiscussionTools reply tool as opt-out setting at ptwikinews

(Not scheduled for deployment yet, we'll probably deploy the config change on Wednesday)

Sorry @Edu, I was too optimistic and thought that we might have that resolved this week.

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2021-09-14T18:20:00Z] <urbanecm@deploy1002> Synchronized wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php: 2982638039720107d0b6e3227f5dce5b34ce7533: Offer the DiscussionTools reply tool as opt-out setting at ptwikinews (T285162) (duration: 01m 06s)

Deployed, looks good.

I noticed a small issue while testing, I don't think this was a reason to block the deployment though: T291000.
