similarly to T433019#12208238 we went through a process of "codex-ification":
- to start we "converted" the existing module variants to use only codex tokens and components
- then we tried to use the codex card component to display the mentor
- we removed borders to reduce visual noise
- brough the button to the main view so that it's not needed to "open" the module to ask a question to the mentor
- then we turned ephemeral informational text to a dismissable element (thou we're unsure if this text is really needed. from 2 usability tests, we've observed participants understanding that the system assigned them a mentor without the explanatory text)
- and swapped the arrow icon with a contextual menu to give immediate access to opt-out features, and info materials
- and finally we brought over some of the changes that we've originally suggested as part of a mentorship-related design sprint (more on T397119)

sharing an update to inquire feedback! as a first step we took the existing mobile web module and went through a "codex-ification" process:
- first, we looked at the suggested edits module in production
- then we rebuild the same exact module with the same exact content with codex tokens and stock components
- and we started to think how to remove potential elements to lighten the experience
- then we wondered how we could expose more suggestions, like 3 instead of one
- we tried removing the background and the border to reduce visual noise, especially as we plann to add more content to this page
- swapped the robot icon with a lightbulb icon to standardize how suggestions are presented to people (building off 'suggestion mode' from the editing team)
- and swapped the arrow icon with a contextual menu to give immediate access to interests, types of edits, and info materials
- and those menu items open either a dialog (building off our 'account setup' work T430058) or a popover

originally i've used the 1 / 3 format to indicate the number of account setup steps but i remembered that for the revise tone onboarding we've used the 1 of 5 format (if i recally correctly for translation reasons).

and here's the task from Reader Experience Team: T434156: Popover: make it possible to always show a bottom sheet
there is our mobile design using the current popover
Wed, Aug 5
just learned via slack that the Reader Experience Team is planning to push a patch to codex in the upcoming weeks. they're going to ping us once they're actively working on this!
given that the codex popover needs an anchor on desktop, we've indetified two options:
- we anchor the popover to the user menu or temp user name
- we make a change to codex so that the mobile popover works also on desktop (it's not hidden above 640px)
- something else
Tue, Aug 4
2 options for review:
- rely on the codex field optional prop
- restore the previous label "Email address (recommended)" + description

sharing all the designs (figma file too) in this comment so that we can look through everything and address any remaning open question!
Wed, Jul 29
to get things started lemme share (hopefully) all the different variants of the suggested edits module as of today!
while playing around this is the current UX if there are now suggestions avaiable for the newcomer selected topics.
those are great prompts, @Isaac!

some more notes to hopefully make the task description more actionable, and open questions in bold:
before updating the task description, i wanted to share a few thoughts in a comment to understand if this is enough to make things actionable, and listing open questions in bold.
@Samwalton9-WMF FYI i've just realized that i posted my comment on the wrong task, sorry! this task is about bringing the 'interests' selector inside the 'suggested edits' module so that people can access their interests from their Newcomer Homepage too, and not only during account setup.
closing summary

thanks @JScherer-WMF. looks good on my end, only two minor notes:
Wed, Jul 22
On blur - password field
- AC1: Given the user leaves the password field, when the password meets all requirements, then clear any existing password warning.

after an internal consulation, this is where we landed:
- text "Avoid using your real name."
- add a codex icon-only small quiet button next to the codex field description
- set the icon of the button to cdxHelpNoticeFilled
- on tap the button opens a codex popover

@JFernandez-WMF my 2 cents is that "event discovery" is internal lingo more than something memorable that people can connect between
resolving this out. these explorations built on the directions opened in T420862 and moved several of them from "possible" to "concrete enough to test". what is presented below is exploratory: these design directions need to be validated via usability testing and community consultation, before anything converges.

looks great. thanks @Etonkovidova for the ping!

ok @Sgs here how to address the problems mentioned above.
Jun 10 2026
yesterday (june 9, 2026) @Lwilson-ctr and i presented a first round of ideas (internal google doc) during the growth team discussion meeting. we started to collect feedback, and act on those suggestions.

looks good to me - thank you both!

@DMburugu FYI ux copy is still in flux - related slack thread

forgot to move the task out of design review, sorry!

@Lwilson-ctr and i drafted a early exploration doc and we started publicize the document internally to collect feedback.
May 14 2026
just wrapped the usability test (full report) - the one with the pre-filled username variant, where we auto-generate a username and drop it directly into the field on page load.
a few others external and semi-external entry points to account creation:
- donor flow
- event flow

i've met with @Michael and we've decided to simplify color management for the endIcon prop. we'll always use cdxIconEye as the icon, passed directly to the CSS-only CdxTextInput nested inside CdxField. for color, we're going to let the component's built-in opacity/fill definitions handle it rather than overriding anything ourselves.
ok - i tested this on beta and the "taken username" does display as a warning
@Sgs i tested things on a real device - a iphone 13 mini running ios/safari 24.6.2 and this is what i've found
May 11 2026
we've now launched a new study to test this variant - which prefills a generated username on page load and displayes the reload button (to generate another username) as a endIcon prop
we've explored a few options in the past weeks!

while testing this patch (https://auth.wikimedia.beta.wmcloud.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:CreateAccount&mpo=we-1-8-account-creation-form-v2%3Atreatment&mobileaction=toggle_view_mobile) from @Michael i've noticed 2 things:
some other feedback, per AC1 and AC2 we should use the cdxIconEye for both reveal and hide. what changes is the fill color:
