[mediawiki/extensions/ContentTranslation@master] Centralize translation difficulty logic in useTranslationSize

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/1185101

I hope this question makes sense here 🙂.

When I first tried mobile translation, I only translated the lead and found the process confusing because:

1. I couldn’t easily find how to continue translating the rest of the article, and
2. I was worried I had just published something without enough references nor categories, which puts an article at risk of deletion.

In my case, this wasn’t a problem (the lead had references [which is rare in English], @SGill guided me on how to add more sections, and I[[ https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sat_Sri_Akaal&oldid=168133214 | have HotCat enabled ]]), but for newer contributors, these hurdles could be significant.

Would it make sense for this task to also consider:

1. how users discover the option to keep translating after the lead, and
2. safeguards around publishing a lead without categories or references?
3. or perhaps being published with a default "Under construction" template?

Would it make sense for this task to also consider:

The current task has a very limited scope to avoid a measurement issue in the context of WE2.1.2. We cannot really add scope to it at the moment but I am capturing your comments in phabricator for the team to consider.

1. how users discover the option to keep translating after the lead, and

T241592: Section Translation: Show follow-up options after publishing

2. safeguards around publishing a lead without categories or references?

T403857: Warn before publishing a new article without categories or references

3. or perhaps being published with a default "Under construction" template?

I'm not exactly sure how the "under construction" template is used. Are you suggesting something like adding that template while the user is guided through translating several sections and removing it the end of their editing session or simply adding it by default to all new articles creating by translating the lead section on mobile, or something else? Feel free to create a new task for it under ContentTranslation and put as much details as you like about how it think it could work. Thanks

@SBisson Confirmed the event records the difficulty level of the lead section only, not the entire article, as seen in the videos below. I will move this to Sign-Off. Thanks for all your work!

Test Steps

Test Case 1: Lead Section Instrumentation on Mobile

1. On mobile (Minerva skin), start translating an article using Content Translation.
2. Complete and publish the translation.
3. Check the captured instrumentation data.
4. ✅ AC1: The event records the difficulty level of the lead section only, not the entire article.

This task should not be closed as resolved, as easy suggestions on mobile are not really based on the lead section size, but still take into account the article size. In the example below (el production wiki with a "newcomer" user,), we can see the "Jermaine Jackson" article that is missing the "Quick translation" indicator, although its lead section size falls in the "easy" size range (1000 < lead section = 3521 < 4000). This happens because instead of the lead section size, the article size is taken into account, which falls in the "medium" range (10000 < article size = 38845 < 40000). Moving this task back to "In-progress"

@SBisson @ngkountas Easy suggestions ( < 4000) on mobile are now based on the lead section size, for "newcomers", per screenshot below. I will move this to Sign-off. Thanks for all your work!
