Description

This task involves the work of implementing a temporary config that makes it so all volunteers – logged in and out, across experience levels – who visit a mobile talk page at ja.wiki retain access to the mobile Reply and New Topic Tools without receiving the visual enhancements T318302 will introduce.

NOTE: the config this task introduces will be removed in T318868

Requirements

Write the config necessary such that after T318302 is deployed, the following is true:

Logged in and logged out users (across experience levels) who visit a talk page using the mobile version of the Wikipedia site:
- A) Continue having access to the mobile Reply and New Topic Tools
- B) Do not start seeing/having access to the suite of Visual Enhancements/Usability Improvements T318302 will make available at the following Wikipedias: Arabic, Bangla, Chinese, French, Haitian Creole, Hebrew, Korean, and Vietnamese

Done

@EAkinloose: are you able to share what wiki you used to take the screenshots you shared in T318871#8308670?

I ask the above wanting to ensure that we verified this at ja.wiki.

Excellent - thank you for confirming, @EAkinloose and for sharing this link @DLynch.

Note: I'm also now noticing the Japanese that appears within the footer of this screenshot that Esther shared: F35563015.
