This task involves the work of sharing the findings from the A/B test the Editing Team ran to evaluate the impact of offering the mobile visual editor by default with A) volunteers at the projects that participated in this test [i], B) volunteers at the projects scheduled to participate in the Edit Check (references) A/B test [ii] and C) volunteers at the Edit Check partner wikis [iii].
Decision(s) to be made
- 1. What – if any – questions/concerns does the "Proposal" below bring to mind for volunteers at each of the wikis we're proposing to offer mobile VE to newcomers by default? [i][ii][iii]
Proposal
The below are copied from T352127.
- For all 1) new accounts and 2) logged out people who initial an edit on mobile, show them the mobile visual editing interface by default
- People who already have a sticky editing interface preference (e.g. Always give me the source editor) set within Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing` will NOT be impacted/see any change as a result of the mobile visual editor being enabled, by default, for the people named in "1."
i. T221196: Set mobile VE as default for target wikis in A/B test
ii. T345298: Identify participating wikis for Edit Check (references) A/B test
iii. T327707: Identify partner wikis for Edit Check project
