@jdlrobson--the question of pushing this directly to stable came up, but I don't know what this feature is (it is not what I thought it was), as I can't access it. Can you point us to a description of feature? and or instructions for surfacing impact?

Change 217164 had a related patch set uploaded (by Jdlrobson):
Show preferred/most used languages at top of language overlay

Ping @Jdlrobson.

@JKatzWMF: I think Phabricator's markup parser is including the "--the" from @Jdlrobson--the in the username.

@JKatzWMF : This feature orders the language overlay by most used languages. This ordering is generated based on usage of the site. Every time a user visits a language, we keep a record locally to the device for that language. So if I continually switch to Spanish from English and vice versa English and Spanish will appear at the top of the languages list.

This came up as a request recently from @KHammerstein on T97824

There is no description of the feature as it is an enhancement of the existing languages feature.
Note: in future there is potential to target wikigrok style messages to users we know are bilingual. Maybe a possible collaboration with the language engineering team.

The test removed by this patch is causing issues to other devs in T102674
