The next significant phase of this work is blocked on T302358: [A/B Test] Run an A/B test to evaluate impact of Usability Improvements, because we'll want to know what the results of the test are before we discuss deployments.

Whatamidoing-WMF added a comment to T331635: Enable topic containers and other visual enhancements on pages using __NEWSECTIONLINK__.

The timing of this is up to @ppelberg. Whether this should be done before/simultaneously with/after the deployment of the Usability features (currently blocked on the A/B test's completion and evaluation) to the talk namespaces is up to him. IMO there is no inherent need to stagger this deployment. I suggest that it not be delayed very long, since its absence produces requests for t.

@MNeisler, I'm assigning this back to you, with a request that you double-check the numbers to see whether this will be enough to produce skin-specific results for Vector 2010 and Vector 2022. At the moment, I believe that plwiki, hiwiki, nlwiki, ukwiki, azwiki, and zhwiki default to Vector 2010, and at the others, it's likely that about 20% of senior contributors have switched back to Vector 2010. If we need to add more to the list, then that's possible.

Requirements: Not arwiki, huwiki, cswiki (all of which already have this). Not huge wikis (if we use >10K active editors per month, then this excludes enwiki, dewiki, frwiki, jawiki, eswiki, and ruwiki). They need to be big enough to get a medium-to-high use of talk pages. Also, I believe that Peter would prefer the wikis in this test to be all Wikipedias.

I don't think that - (the hyphen-minus) is a good choice for the first character, because the same character is used to exclude items from a search, which could result in finding everything except the user you were looking for.

@Esanders, I have no strong views on how to divide it, or even if it needs to be divided. The English Wikipedia is half of traffic, though, so if there is any concern from an SRE viewpoint, then putting "enwiki" and "everyone else" in different buckets would be an easy way to spread things out. But if there's no technical concern, then they could all be done at once, at any time, as far as I'm concerned.
