Description

Background

To support rolling out Vector 2022 on Russian Wikipedia it should be possible to configure Vector 2022 to show the language button AND languages in the main menu.

User story

As a Russian Wikipedian using Vector 2022 I want access to the language links in the left hand menu consistent with the experience in legacy Vector.

  • When VectorLanguageInMainMenu is enabled, languages will be printed in the main menu
  • The new config option VectorLanguageInMainMenu has no impact on the behaviour of VectorLanguageInHeader

BDD

  • For QA engineer to fill out

  • For QA engineer to fill out
