@DLynch @ppelberg there are reports on German Wikipedia about the AbandonSurve being shown after successfully saving an edit: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fragen_zur_Wikipedia#Fehlermeldung
https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=268034664 is one specific edit where the temporary account claims the survey appeared – perhaps adding a wikilink somehow isn't recognized as an actual edit?
