Some notes from our estimation meeting yesterday:

Hi @Folklore - Susana is working on this ticket this week, and we can't say exactly how long it will take. We'll update with progress here :)

Hi @Samwalton9 this came up on https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)&oldid=1090162285#%22Sortable_tables%22_on_%22Mobile_browsers%22_(Please_fix!!) today and seemed relevant to your team's current efforts.

Looks to be working! The only snag is that the message appears to be cached with the page - each time I load the page again after renewing the message is present. Is there a way for us to just show it on the first page load?

I've been doing some investigation into the data (running similar queries as to that mentioned in the task description), and feel we could learn more if we had more information about who is toggling from mobile to desktop. Web requests can tell us the overall volume of these toggles, which is useful, and we can break that down in some ways (country, project), but can't easily tie that to user edit counts, pages, or namespaces.

Can we have Proquest Dissertations included?

Looks good!

• Unregistered editors don't see the menu in articles or user pages
• A newly registered account does see the menu in article and user pages
• Overflow menu location/behaviour seems to be the same when AMC is turned on.

Confirming that I see event.pagenamespace data attached to recent events :)

I can confirm I've seen this in my recent testing of preferences. Adding to our backlog, definitely in scope for our team :)

This should be coming in but I'm going to give it until next week to check given that the sampling rate is pretty low.

Now live!

I wonder whether some of the work that was done to enable this menu on user pages (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/skins/MinervaNeue/+/556223/) will be redundant with this change, and could be tidied up.

See T307733 for a recent patch where a change like this was made.

I'm probably not going to find time to continue working on this soon.

It looks like the patches for T307113 enable this functionality by simply adding a message with the correct skin key.

@Samwalton9 would your team be able to QA this or do you need web team to do that?

We ran some user testing with non-Wikipedia-editors and found that the addition of the overflow menu did not cause any confusion or frustration as new users attempted to make an edit.

• Users were usually able to identify the icons along the top of the article with relatively high accuracy, and either didn't comment on the overflow menu, or identified it as 'extra' functionality which they didn't need right now.
  • The item which users most often got wrong was the History link, which some users described as "read later" or "refresh"
• Users who were less sure what the three dots did tended to click it, see that it was a menu of additional options, and then click away again.
• Of users who opened the menu, there tended to be some confusion about what the links there were going to do, but the inclusion of the menu didn't in itself cause any confusion, and users disregarded the menu rather than attempt to navigate through to the pages.
• All users found the edit button with no additional confusion or distraction by the overflow menu.
