WP25 Easter Egg deployment: Enable CommunityConfiguration for admins on all wikipedias
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Background

The WP25EasterEggs extension presents a communityConfiguration page for admins when the extension is loaded, visible here on test wikipedia: https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CommunityConfiguration/WP25EasterEggs

This page is used to configure baby globe states and allow communities to customize the pages that baby globe appears on. Since this page is complex and allows for different options, we want to give communities time to configure it before Monday Feb 16th, when we'll enable the appearance of baby globe through an additional config flag.

This task encompasses the work of backporting a config change that will load the extension in production for all wikipedias. This backport should happen on Thursday Feb 12.

User story

As a wiki admin, I want some extra time to configure the WP25 extension to suite my wiki before baby globe becomes visible on all pages.

Acceptance criteria

Rollback plan

After this has been deployed, we should monitor logged-in page view timing to see if there are any performance regressions due to enabling this extension.

This task was created by Version 1.0.0 of the Reader Experience team task template using phabulous.
