Background
We would like to change the default skin version on a new set of pilot wikis from legacy Vector to the most recent version of Vector as per the results of community consultation. These wikis will receive all features currently part of the desktop improvements experience. An exception will be made for thwiki and viwiki. There, the sticky header will initially be disabled by default, and enabled at a later time as a part of an A/B test (focused on testing the success of adding an edit button to the sticky header).
Acceptance criteria
- T298910 should be resolved in production before the deploy.
- T288686 should be fixed before mediawiki.org deploy as it's likely to lead to lots of 3rd party installs
- Pre-deployment criteria: ensure desktop improvements features are tested across all of the wikis below
- Switch default skin version from legacy Vector to new Vector for the following wikis:
arywiki
frwikiquote
ptwikinews
plwikinews
viwiki
viwikibooks
MediaWiki
Foundation-wiki
Collab-wiki
Strategy-wiki
thwiki
- Ensure the sticky header feature flag is off for the following wikis: viwiki, thwiki. We will be testing the editing functionality within the sticky header on these wikis at a later time
- Ensure feature flag for language switching notice in the old location is "on"
QA
For each wiki check in an incognito window that you are getting the modern Vector skin
