Description

Enable the feature flag created in T394704

Open Topic parser caching: T394291#10836697

AC:

$wgWBRepoSettings['tmpMobileEditingUI'] is toggled on and thus MEX is the default view for mobile devices on beta wikidata (https://www.wikidata.beta.wmcloud.org/)
Communication to community sent at the time of the release
Make sure that previous parser cache entries for non mobile remain valid (=> parser cache keys don't change). Especially when tmpEnableMobileEditingUIBetaFeature is false, like on Wikidata.

Notes

For the new mobile UI, the parser cache key should change probably by changing the wbMobile option
We'll enable MEX as the default mobile view for everyone on beta wikidata
This is not blocked or dependent on anything
