This task represents the work with developing the plan for scaling the New Discussion Tool as an opt-out setting at all projects. === Deployment phases //Below are the phases in which we *plan* to offer the New Discussion Tool as an opt-out feature at all projects. As with all deployments, this plan could change depending on what emerges in the conversations with volunteers at these projects.// |Phase | Projects |---|---| | Phase 1 | Wikipedias: Arabic and Czech (T280390) | Phase 2 | Wikipedias that participated in the A/B test (list in T281533) | Phase 3 | Remaining small-to-medium Wikipedias, plus all single-language non-Wikipedias (e.g., the Wikiquotes and Wikivoyages) – //not// enwiki, dewiki, ruwiki | Phase 4 | All multi-lingual projects (e.g., Commons and Wikidata). (Result: all WMF-hosted wikis //except// enwiki, dewiki, ruwiki | Phase 5 | English, German, and Russian Wikipedias (Result: all WMF-hosted wikis) === Requirements - Before the New Discussion Tool can be offered as an opt-out setting at a project, the Reply Tool must first be made available as an opt-out setting. === Timing - This should generally happen two or three weeks after the Reply tool is made available as an opt-out setting at that wiki. -- One purpose for this sequence is to allow editors additional time to report problems. If problems are reported, then the PM can delay the deployment for any affected wikis. === Communication - In Tech/News before Phase 3 - Messages need to include a link [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion]] - Additional message to largest wikis, either sometime in the days before, or immediately after, the deployment happens === Done - [x] A plan is documented on this ticket that lists all Wikimedia wikis in a phased deployment sequence
