[mediawiki/extensions/PageTriage@master] CurationToolbar: Allow note to be sent even when a page has never been reviewed

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/844085

Are we sure this issue has been fully identified? Originally, as far as I remember from 10 years ago, it was also supposed to be possible to message the creator without marking as reviewed. This is often necessary, it avoids having to load the creator's talk oage and wtie a message there.

Kudpung, this was working sometime back exactly the way your comment says. After my patch goes live on enwiki, the functionality will be back to normal. i.e. you'll be able to send a message to the creator without marking as reviewed.

@MPGuy2824 Thanks for that. Apologies for the edit conflict with gerritbot above.

Are there any updates on this? As a firm believer of letting the article creator know what's good or wrong with their article, I will not be reviewing any articles where I cannot connect with the creator.

Patch written. (You can tell from the gerritbot comment above.) Waiting for +2 along with 11 other recent patches.
