@Urbanecm_WMF,
I'd lean on option 4 for now, test the subfeatures in CI so we at least catch the exact regression we just fixed and maybe pair it with option 3 that runs against beta or testwiki on a daily/weekly timetable to cathc other cuases. Longterm we should work towards option 1 as it's the ony option that truly removes the false choice between core and CentralAuth coverage.But it's a RelEng-level investment, so it needs to be pitched as a cross-team infra project, not a Growth-only need. I'd avoid option 2(CI for one extension) because of the relEng pushback and even if approved, we'd inherit maintenance tax everytime CI changes.

Updating this to 3 due to increased scope

@Michael , i added the alerting to mediawiki_GrowthExperiments_image_recommendation_provider_seconds_bucket to show data-pipeline issues that do not affect the weighted tags in the search index.. Would you mind taking a quick look? :)

Thank you for tagging this task with good first task for Wikimedia newcomers!

I did an archaelogy into why users are incorrectly redirected to the Welcome Survey instead of returning to their editing session after account creation. My analysis on adding some logging to WelcomeSurveyHooks.php :
Edit Source (Working):
- returnToQuery: 'action=edit' ==> PRESERVED
- userWasEditing() result: true ==> DETECTION SUCCEEDS
- onCentralAuthPostLoginRedirect() user was editing -> preserving return parameters and exiting

@AAlhazwani-WMF, could you also kindly provide the SVG icon that matches the design ? :)

@AAlhazwani-WMF , are we still using the page views as part of congratulatory message or did we opt to simplify the message ?
@KStoller-WMF , How should we treat reverted edits?, and should a newcomer get the “Add-a-Link threshold reached” notification only the first time they cross a milestone, or every time they re-cross it even if they’ve already been notified?

@Michael, quick dashboard-hunt question:
Jun 10 2025
@Sgs , my recommendations for the questions would be:
Questions
- What limiting factors should we use to restrict the cohort of users that we'll get the notification? Registered time? Last time active? Interacted with homepage? Interacted with Add a link?->I think a combination of registered time and recent activity(last active date) would ensure that we target true newcomers, and then add a requirement for having interacted with the “Add a link” task. This will have a narrow engaged cohort who will understand and appreciate being notified about a change in the task availability.

@Seddon , the notifications are being sent to a slack channel
@Urbanecm_WMF , I had a quick question, for this AC:
- check that Growth Engineers + Mobile App engineers actually get the alert emails (Who exactly? Only devs? QA? EM? PO?),
