Account creation: go straight to homepage
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

After donors create their accounts, we want them to taken to their homepage right away, instead of to the welcome survey. We're doing this because:

  • We generally know the answers to most of their welcome survey questions (why they created their account, whether they've edited before).
  • By skipping the survey, we're bringing them into the newcomer experience more directly.

We should not record any sort of response for the survey for them, i.e. the hidden user preference should appear like they never received the survey (as opposed to that they skipped it).

When they arrive on the homepage, they should receive the same popups and onboarding that users get through the flow in which they arrive from completing the survey and clicking the button to go their homepage.

Ready for QA on testwiki, ptwiki, and eswiki

@kostajh -- @Urbanecm_WMF identified this issue in T284800: Account creation: URL parameters, and I think it's something that should be fixed via this task:

One note: This correctly leads me to the homepage right after creating my account, but when I leave it, this shows:

I find it disruptive, since similar tour was already shown during homepage initial load.
