Description

T312309 will introduce a new, unified experience for making the content that can appear in talk pages' lead sections available to people visiting talk pages on mobile.

In T298060 we've handled undeploying it and communication about the change, and in T319145 we're going to actually remove the code. I don't think anything else is needed. I hereby declare it deprecated!

I'm still seeing the associated code in Minerva skin?
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/skins/MinervaNeue/+/dd5b3213843ad66f565289ebe077c6b7424d040e/i18n/en.json#29

So I think there is a bit of clean up to do here before calling this done.

I don't see any associated config flags, so I'm not exactly sure if this code is still running anywhere unexpectedly?

Jdlrobson claimed this task.

Sorry posted that a little earlier before I completed my thought process.

I think I understand.. you are saying we are skipping deprecation but we will remove the code in T319145 ? Please correct me if I've misunderstood :)

matmarex added a comment.Mar 13 2023, 6:56 PM

Yes, exactly. There's nothing here that you'd deprecate in the traditional way, no public APIs etc.
