Moving to Ready for Development to start generating ideas, even as we still have yet to create the landing pages.

Two options come to mind:

• Split ConfigurationLoader by user (or user variant, to be more exact). Would be useful in general (e.g. it would have solved the mobile-only task use case as well) but complicated because the user is not available in ResourceLoader callbacks and because ConfigurationLoader is used in lots of places. If we are unlucky, some caches would also have to be split.
• Add Argentina as a normal topic but hide it in the topic selection dialog based on the user variant. I think that's the only place where we expose the list of topics (aside from the kinda-internal management interface Special:NewcomerTasksInfo) so this would be hacky but quite simple.

I think we should go with the hack given time and resource constraints.

Do we want to use a user variant here? Something like image-recommendation-glam-argentina? I was thinking we would reuse the existing image-recommendation user variant and have a separate option for growthexperiments-campaigns. @nettrom_WMF would have to separate out users who have image-recommendation and a non-null growthexperiments-campaigns user property, though, to avoid skewing data analysis.

So, the options would be:

1. use image-recommendation user variant and a new user preference called growthexperiments-campaigns that would be a list of values, with glam-argentina-2022 set for users in these events
2. use image-recommendation-glam-argentina user variant that is default assigned to no users, but is what users in these events are assigned to

Actually, as we have various code that checks if the user is in the imagerecommendation variant, I think we should continue to use that variant. And we don't need a new user preference, because we have growthexperiments-campaign.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/766869

Checked on cs betalabs.

• the topics were available for "GLAM Argentina", "GLAM Chile", and "GLAM Mexico"
• all other functionality - combining topics/tasks, going to SE articles and publish/reject suggestions works as expected.

@GFontenelle_WMF @MMiller_WMF there are 144 image suggestion tasks for "GLAM Mexico". Do we need a "Mexico extended" topic, just like we had for GLAM Argentina extended? That would provide 4,170 candidates (mexico hasrecommendation:image in the search bar to see what these results look like).
