Nikerabbit set the point value for this task to 2.

Re-announce to the 8 wikis informing them that we are resuming the experiment.
Announcement to the 5 new wikis to happen 2 weeks ahead of the release date, telling them about the experiment.

Regarding the communication plan above, we may need to disable the footer entry point again, depending on how the MinT service manages the load. I haven't seen any progress on T386371: Request capacity increase in preparation for MinT for wiki Readers experiment, which makes me concerned about whether the experiment's outcome will be any different this time.

Having understood the entrypoints better and what happened last time, I think a more phased rollout might be better. Going down to 2-3 wikis per rollout.

Another note, we'll have to enable the QuickSurveys extension on all the 13 wikis too.
