@EMcFarland-WMF - a super minor issue: when the warning about invalid password is displayed, the eye icon is still visible (and functioning). Do you think it's worth to address it? I did not find any other instances of that issue, i.e. "Confirm password" field seems ok.

Hi @Anirudh_KK, thank you for working on this. I discussed the task with other members of Growth engineering. Rather than silencing the warning, we think it would be better to upgrade the extension to node16. You’re welcome to start working on the upgrade. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

EMcFarland-WMF added a comment to T430698: Update the email field to conform with the V1/V2 experiment changes.

The email change appears similar to the V1/V2 changes to me when I checkout beta

Screenshot 2026-07-07 at 17.01.15.png (980×1,268 px, 128 KB)

@EMcFarland-WMF does this query parameter that appears tied to an experiment in the url affect the form? experiments[0]=we-1-8-account-creation-no-desktop-benefits:unsampled

@DMburugu - the email field verification should be done for both - v1/v2 account creation form and the non-treatment account creation form since now it is in MediaWiki core and the default experience.
experiments[0]=we-1-8-account-creation-no-desktop-benefits:unsampled is for hiding the text on CreateAccount page - "Wikipedia is made by people like you." etc

EMcFarland-WMF moved T424246: Instrument policy popover links from Code Review to Blocked / Needs Work on the Growth-Team (FY2025-26 Q4 Sprint 3) board.

Hi, I wanted to update this patch after we had a growth engineering team discussion. This work is dependent on Michael's in progress work to support non-cache splitting experiments for account creation, linked here https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/WikimediaEvents/+/1286930. (I will update my patch's commit message to make the dependency apparent.) As a group, we agreed that the exposure event should occur once users get to the create account page, and not when users open the popover. I'll remove the send event code from my work on the popover. Finally, my patch currently uses the experiment as the third param in the methods called to start the ClickthroughRateInstrument. That won't work anymore, because of not being able to get the experiment from the promise. Instead, a new instance of the experiment class would be needed.

I looked at Sergio’s patch and I don’t think it would interfere with impression data. Since the impressions are logged in extensions/CentralNotice/resources/ext.centralNotice.display/index.js in reallyRecordImpression, and since that script doesn’t run when wgCentralNoticeMaxCampaignFallback is set to zero, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Thanks, Anne! This was really helpful. I think showing the names initially only when the component mounts, and then clearing the menu when the item is selected, would make sense. I will try that and reach out with any further questions.
