A blue dot is shown as an invite (T216498) to announce the more persistent entry points for Content translation to those users that discovered the tool through other entry points.
The initial implementation used local storage, but that brings some limitations (T216498#5225874) that can cause users to see the invite multiple times because of their access to multiple wikis or the use of different devices.
Using global preferences can support a more consistent experience across wikis and devices. This ticket proposes to use global preferences instead.
- A person that never accessed CX should see it 0 times
- A person that accessed CX through the Contributions menu should see it 0 times
- A person that accessed CX tohrough the contributions menu and later through the grey interlanguage links, should see it 0 times.
- A person that accessed CX only through the grey interlanguage links, should see it 1 time.
