Yes, I'm on it. I patch it in the following days.

Thanks for the heads up @SherryYang-WMF, it seems the older ios safari versions are not able to play vp9 codec.

Apart from removing the extension itself from the ecosystem, the following parts should also be cleaned up:
- MobileFrontend - src/mobile.special.mobileoptions.scripts.js
- MinervaNeue - includes/Skins/skin.mustache
- Vector - includes/templates/ColumnEnd.mustache
- Vector - resources/skins.vector.js/clientPreferences.json

For the synthesizer Qids, somehow "Funk" did not make it into the final list. Another random pick from the current list that can be used for testing is the following
Enable Baby Globe to appear only on selected pages - when enabled, no baby globe appears on any pages
Disable Baby Globe only on selected pages (effectively enable everywhere except the selected pages) - when enabled, the baby globe will appear everywhere
The Qids were updated further after this ticket was executed.

After a discussion on slack it was decided to move forward with the following functionality
- If I tab away from baby globe we start a timer.
- If I return to baby globe 5 minutes or later I see baby globe sleeping on the page.
- If I interact with baby globe he wakes up (e.g. I hover my mouse over him or click him)
- Mouse movement and scrolling shouldn't effect baby globe.

We decided to use a json file containing a limited dataset instead of CDB. Also we decided to remove WANObjectCache
There is still one missing part - the banner is supposed to be displayed only on Minerva
The code used for the banner was partially taken from here https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T361047#9839444 which was setup with "maximum impressions any individual will see" being 2.

@Etonkovidova sorry for the back and forth, but if you were testing on beta cluster - I think the fix was deployed after your test. Currently I can see the fix in Safari on beta cluster. (And thank you for the testing, really appreciated!)
The changes of the patchset can be previewed here https://wikipedia25-portals-dev.toolforge.org/

Scenario 4 - for some reason, I don't see the baby globe in mobile mode. @ATitkov - do I need to do something special to see it on mobile?
Banner code
<script>
const CNContext = mw.centralNotice.kvStore.contexts.GLOBAL;
const CNBannerKey = 'impression_diet_wp25eastereggs-minerva-launch-banner';
const impressions = mw.centralNotice.kvStore.getItem( CNBannerKey, CNContext );Thank you for the catch! This issue is reproducible on Safari. I will take care of it as soon as possible.
could there be a file for the beta cluster? and potentially one for test.wikipedia (with test wikidata)?
Feb 3 2026
For example https://www.wikidata.beta.wmcloud.org/wiki/Q1 is not the same as @ATitkov https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1
@Nintendofan885 thank you for the input! I was actually had the same concerns/questions, but did not have the capability to research and verify the domains/https availability. I will update those once I get the opportunity
@Etonkovidova thank you for raising this concern, indeed the WikiData integration has not been yet tested on beta cluster. It would be great if some sample articles could be exported from enwiki and the respective Qids mapped on beta cluster side.

The respective patchset was requested to me merged into the patchset of the ticket https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415353
The respective patchset was updated to include the fix for https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415355 and re-purpose configuration var Wp25EasterEggsEnable instead of creating a new one Wp25EasterEggsGlobalEnable.
The manual testing steps in this ticket were updated because of the mentioned changes. Furthermore the manual testing of https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415355 should be executed when testing the patchset of this ticket.
Reproduction steps:
- While on Vector, with viewport width > 1120px, find and delete <div class="wp25eastereggs-sitenotice-landmark"></div>
- Resize the the viewport to width < 1120px. Normally the BabyGlobe would be moved to .wp25eastereggs-sitenotice-landmark but we deleted the div, so BabyGlobe should be just hidden
- Resize the viewport to width > 1120px
- The BabyGlobe should be moved back to the sidebar - the video is not playing.

The toggle in the screenshot allows each wiki language/community to enable/disable the "birthday mode" interventions to their wiki. So the wikis that opt in - will probably set this toggle to enabled before the official release date.

@ABorbaWMF Thank you so much for the testing, it's really appreciated! I will try to get the mentioned iOS versions and pin down the issue
Jan 28 2026
I have tested the audio interviews and they were working for me on the following devices
- iPhone 12 mini, with iOS 26.2.1, Safari Chrome Firefox
- Simulator iPhone 17 Pro, with iOS 26.2, Safari

IIUC that is the expected behaviour. The sidebar has its own scroll bar, so that the controls inside of it remain kind of "sticky"
i wonder if the easiest approach is to just add the link via JS?
Hello everyone, sorry for not replying sooner to this ticket, I will have a look into it as soon as possible.

Not needed, as static media can be fetch by utilising wgExtensionAssetsPath

This needs input from Reader Experience team. Currently Vector's clientPreferences.js does not support adding custom links in the Appearance pinnable dropdown.

IIUC this still awaits a deployment
Thank you both @Jdrewniak and @Volker_E for the support on this! I think this one can be resolved. I will create new tickets for the next steps
This has been fixed, deployed and verified. If changes occur, please reopen

manual testing
manual testing:
the video logo src should be https://.../assets/img/something.webm and not https://.../assets/img/video-logo/something.webm , also the video should be visible and playing
I know it might look too soon, but I want to request either scheduled re-deployments or the ability to deploy myself, in order to update for bugfixes and a couple of incoming i18n and media.
QA was successful. Some people report needed a refresh for the first visit on https://wikipedia25.org/ or https://www.wikipedia25.org/ but I don't think we can do something about it. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

Manual testing:
- in desktop resolution click on "Who is hiding in the globe" button, you should be taken to the aforementioned url in a new window
- in mobile resolution click on the video logo, in the opened dialog click "Learn more", you should be taken to the aforementioned url in a new window
With some moderate additional effort I could reduce that "soft launch" time window to like 5 minutes. But please let me know if it you would like that.
