[Footer link Phase 2] Parent task - Phase 2 deployments
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

Background

Previously in T399467 we created a config flag in mediawiki-config that would allow us to deploy a new legal footer link on selected Wikipedias. We deployed that config to Spanish, Italian, French and Polish wikis.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/mediawiki-config/+/1216839

Now, we would like to deploy this footer to phase two wikis, as noted in this sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1U9atPHr41g5-ep71UajkPyPB9uDpXq5fGpknLtkLabM/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Those phase two wikis are all Wikipedias, specifically:

  1. Arabic
  2. Basque
  3. Catalan
  4. Chinese
  5. Czech
  6. Dutch
  7. Esperanto
  8. Farsi
  9. Finnish
  10. Hebrew
  11. Hindi
  12. Indonesian
  13. Irish
  14. Malay
  15. Norwegian
  16. Portuguese
  17. Romanian
  18. Russian
  19. Serbian
  20. Swedish
  21. Turkish
  22. Ukrainian
  23. Urdu
