@Sgs - the variant "community-updates-module" will be stored in user_properties table? The new user accounts created on cswiki beta do not get Community update module displayed on their Homepage.

This is now ready to test in beta wikis. Variant distribution is 50/50 between control group and treatment group community-updates-module. The JS helper ge.utils.setUserVariant('variant-name') can be used to assign a different variant from what the system decided. Something different from prior Growth experiment setups is that the treatment group includes existing accounts, so we should test the module is shown for some "old" accounts. cc @Etonkovidova .
Checked on eswiki beta. Two new accounts: user_id=4343 - didn't get the CommunityUpdate module; another user, user_id=4344 - got the CommunityUpdate module.

Checked on testwiki wmf.2 by creating new user accounts - one new account was presented with the Community update module, another new account did not have the module on Special:Homepage.
