Change 980895 abandoned by DLynch:

[operations/mediawiki-config@master] Enable Edit Check on arwiki

Reason:

Plans changed

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/980895

Update: none of these are getting deployed today, and arwiki won't be enabled universally because it's going to be in the A/B test.

Enabling EC(R) as a default feature at some wikis, while we look for candidates to run the A/B may not be the most efficient strategy. To be discussed with the team, but I'm suggesting abandoning this task and switching to T345298: Identify participating wikis for Edit Check (references) A/B test.

@MNeisler will provide the requirements for the A/B test in T345298. We could keep the deployment as a default feature for small wikis.

Maintenance_bot removed a project: Patch-For-Review.Dec 6 2023, 5:10 PM

We will just focus on T345298: Identify participating wikis for Edit Check (references) A/B test, but provide the feature by default for smaller wikis if they request it.
