NOTE: Dates in this ticket have been updated to reflect the conversation in the comments below. Hello, DBAs! We have decided to share our current plans for the release of watchlist expiry. This way, we can ensure that we have reached a common agreement and that we are properly monitoring potential risks. Here’s what we have in mind: * In September, we begin the process of enabling the Watchlist Expiry feature. We have chosen to first release to wikis in Groups 0 and 1. This way, we can collect feedback within smaller communities before releasing to larger wikis. Our plan is as follows: ** **Group 0 -- Week of Sept 21:** We'll enable the feature on Officewiki and Mediawikiwiki. ** **Group 1 -- Week of Sept 28:** We'll enable the feature on Metawiki, Enwikisource, Enwikivoyage, Enwikiversity, Eswiktionary, Eswikisource, Eswikivoyage, Hewiki, Hewikisource, Hewiktionary, and dewikisource. * **Group 2 -- date TBD**: After a minimum of two weeks of collecting feedback, we will begin the second stage of the release (so, roughly, some time in September or early October, depending on various factors). This second release will include the following wikis: Dewiki, Frwiki, Fawiki, and Cswiki. These wikis were chosen due to the conclusion of our discussion in T252812#6311084 with @Marostegui, as well as further discussion in the comments below. * Once we have finished the secondary release, the DBA team will be able to begin analyzing the impact of Watchlist Expiry. It is our hope that the analysis can be completed within the first half of Q2 (roughly, by November 15th or so), so the Community Tech can release to all wikis by the end of Q2 (December 30th). This way, if issues should arise, we can try to address them before the end of the quarter. How do you all feel about our release plan? Do you have any major reservations or concerns? Would you feel comfortable with us proceeding with this plan in September? Thank you!
