As someone who votes for wishes, I want to be able to vote for a good wish as soon as it's posted, so I won't forget to vote for it or have to take note of it and check back over and over again, which diminishes my motivation and the wish's momentum. This will also help you review wishes more expediently.

Changes can now be verified there.
To be tested on the Beta cluster first.
I don't have any data to definitively say what happened but my experience was something like:
- Deploy and wait for the patch to be on test servers
- Browse to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist/Wishes and notice the mix of "Accepted" and "Under review" statuses
- Turn on WikimediaDebug to browse test servers and refresh
- All statuses appeared as "Accepted" (!?)
I'm almost certain this was a caching issue as I was playing with the filters while turning on/off WikimediaDebug, but it was scary enough that I reverted the deployment.
This doesn't seem as pressing at the moment so let's hold off until Monday before trying production again.
Worst comes to worst, we can just hard-code the change in extension.json.
I don't have any data to definitively say what happened …
@tstarling said on Slack:
Actually wfLoadExtension() doesn't set the global, that's done later, at Setup.php line 280. So the global is not set there in CommonSettings.php and it gets merged later, as it would with InitialiseSettings.php. I think this changed in 2022. So you could go back to what you had in PS2, that should work.
I would still advise testing on the Beta Cluster first.
