This task represents the work with developing the plan for releasing the [[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2022/Better_diff_handling_of_paragraph_splits | Better Diff improvements ]]
=== Release plan sequence
//Below is a sequence in which we *plan* to offer the Better Diff improvements. As with all deployments, this plan might change depending on what emerges in the conversations within the team and volunteers at these projects.//
|Order | Tasks|Code (Core, VE, Wikidiff2) | Release notes|
|---|---|---|---
| 1. | {T324803} | Wikidiff2| Deploy algorithm improvements|
| 2 | {T324759} | Core| |
| 3 | Dropdown: {T330229} {T331589}| Core and VE | These two tasks depend on each other and must be deployed at same time|
=== Notes
- A feature flag would add an unnecessary effort that can be avoided if we release in the appropriate order and merged tasks once they been approved by QA and Product.
=== Requirements
- Before any work is merged, it needs to be approved by QA and product so that it's not release to users before being fully tested. We will take advantage of: [[ https://patchdemo.wmflabs.org/ | patch demo ]], https://commtech.wmcloud.org/wiki/Main_Page, http://commtech-2.wmcloud.org/
- Every task will have it's own release plan
=== Timing
-- One purpose for this sequence is to allow users to report problems. If problems are reported, then the PM can delay the deployment for any affected wikis.
=== Communication
- In Tech/News before Phase X - Natalia
- Announcement in #release-announcements Slack channel
=== Done
- [ ] A plan is documented on this ticket that lists all Wikimedia wikis in a phased deployment sequence
