T267382 represents the work we did to talk with wikis about participating in an A/B test of the Reply Tool (see `===Participating wikis`).
This task represents the work of informing these same wikis the date on which people can expect the Reply Tool A/B test to begin (see `===A/B test start date`) and what changes they //might// experience as a result.
=== Announcement components
After reading the announcement, people should know:
- When the Reply Tool A/B test will begin

- What changes the test will introduce

- Who will and will NOT be impacted by these changes
