Hi, @dbarratt , @LGoto ! Could you please tell if the mentioned change in the current task ("Media help should not be displayed") and in this one: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T269385 ("References in Spanish Wikipedia shouldn't have columns") need to be made on the mobile app level or do we need (can we ?) to change the templates ? Thanks!

There is a setting here: https://github.com/wikimedia/wikifeeds/blob/master/lib/random.js#L71 -> 12 items are requested. Maybe we could increase this value ?
Or there is a possibility the testing should be performed in some specific way ?

The same for iOs - tested 300+ random articles - no duplication. Also looked through the php code (which is responsible for the content (random articles) ) - the "randomness" is very high.

@MSantos, could you please comment on the next proposal :

What was done:

From my conversation with PPchelko regarding the task:
For now it will be enough to handle empty response (as mentioned in the desc, there is a separate ticket to improve the iOS) as it happens..., and as we've got deferred updates of the data, mentioned here - the task can not be resolved by itself except the change: "remove the reference to English." (will not eliminate the root problem, but this change is good to have from my point of view).
So there is an architectural issues wich is good to take a look in the future.

The Idea is just to: make DAOAccessControl::get() to return a string - like "$msg->text()" and not an $msg obj. as now.

Suppose, questions sign is to be aligned.

It seems that WikimediaApiPortalOAuth doesn't have the client_key due to T264238, so when it tries to reset the secret, it makes the request to https://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/rest.php/oauth2/client/null/reset_secret, using null in place of the missing client key. I'm reducing the priority of this to low since it's likely to be fixed by T264238

Please, note: the pathes in the extension's unit tests (Rest) should be changed as well.

@apaskulin Do you mean https://api.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Notifications ? Seems I do not have enough permissions. Do you know how can I get them or some other way for me to reproduce the issue on the Beta ? Thanks.
