Description

As a contributor who is new to feeds like Recent Changes, I want to arrive at the Review Changes module on my personal dashboard with clear information about what the module is for, and what I should do with it, so that I can start my first moderating actions with more confidence.

AC:

Review changes module (sentence at the top) is updated
Onboarding copy is updated

Review changes module as seen in https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmcloud.org/wiki/Special:PersonalDashboard (I think the error can be ignored):

Updated copy onboarding module:

Features
Because of your editing experience, we encourage you to help review edits from other contributors. This central hub helps you navigate Wikipedia by showing changes to review alongside policies and resources that can guide your decisions.

Screen 2:
Share your feedback
Over the coming months we plan to personalize the features based on your editing activity. Please let us know what you think in the meantime. To share your feedback, we've provided a survey link at the top of the page.

Button text:
Get started

Note that we're removing the "Don't show this again" text and box. Requirement: show the onboarding dialog only once when they land on this page, then don't show again by default.

Updated copy for Review changes header:
Help keep Wikipedia reliable. How?

Pop-over:
How?
An automated anti-vandalism tool flags potentially risky edits from other editors. Select one to open the diff view and decide whether to undo, improve, or thank the editor.
Button text: Got it

The best link is probably here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning_models/Production/Language-agnostic_revert_risk

Sounds good, another question for you all, there's no designs for the header on mobile view does this mean it's not going to appear there? If it is intended to appear there where should I put it?

See screenshot below:

Stalling this until we get direction on what the designs should be for mobile.

From @AAlhazwani-WMF:

unfortunately a "native" codex popover is not available on mobile (yet!) so we could keep it as is - or on mobile-only we could fallback to the codex dialog instead.

[mediawiki/extensions/PersonalDashboard@master] Add new informational banner to the Review Changes module on Personal Dashboard

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/1244825

gerritbot added a project: Patch-For-Review.Feb 26 2026, 8:32 PM

Patch Demo available here.

There's an odd behavior with the link auto-focusing inside the popover that I'm guessing will go away with a rebase once T414578: Don't reload Special:PersonalDashboard when selecting a module in mobile view is merged in.

Also, the command to reset the user pref is below which you can run in the dev console to get the banner to appear after closing it.

const api = new mw.Api(); 
api.saveOptions({'personaldashboard-risky-articles-info': 1});

@Kgraessle I found a bug with the nav icons. They're wrapping to the next line after the title now:

@Kgraessle I also found another mobile view bug where the popover anchored to the right instead of below the How link, causing the copy text to clip off the screen:

Both should be fixed now on patch demo if you take a look.
Thanks for the thorough review! :)
