This is a tracking task for the work involved with potentially expanding the range of editing functionality temporary accounts have access to.
NOTE: Prior to implementing anything listed here, we first need to become clear about what – if any – incentives we want to introduce to motivate temporary account holders to consider creating a permanent account.
Expanded Functionality
| Experience/Interface | Functionality | Ticket(s) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| DiscussionTools | manually subscribe to topics | ||
| DiscussionTools | become automatically subscribed to topics | ||
| DiscussionTools | receive notifications for topics they are subscribed to | ||
| DiscussionTools | appear within the New Topic and Reply Tools' @-mention autocomplete [temp users are currently able to receive mentions, but the notifications interface doesn't appear in all skins and it's not clear if it's intentional] | ||
| VisualEditor | have the last editor remembered in user preferences rather than cookies [temp users will not have preferences in the Temporary accounts MVP T330815] | ||
