CommunityConfiguration: Release extension to all Wikipedias with GrowthExperiments
Open, HighPublic1 Estimated Story PointsWed, Jul 17

Description

Task for deploying CommunityConfiguration all Wikis that have GrowthExperiments deployed and enabled and setting $wgGEUseCommunityConfigurationExtension to true by default.


User Story:

As a Wikimedian, I want a way to customize local wiki configuration options easily, because each language wiki has unique needs.


Workboard: MediaWiki-extensions-CommunityConfiguration
Epic: T323811: [EPIC] Community configuration 2.0: Factor Community configuration out of GrowthExperiments
Release plan: T360571: CommunityConfiguration Extension Release Plan
Mediawiki Project Page: Community_configuration_2.0


Acceptance Criteria:

Given I'm on a Wikipedia that has the GrowthExperiments extension enabled,
When I visit Special:CommunityConfiguration,
Then I can view local configuration settings (and I can edit them if I am an admin)

If we run into any issues while scaling, break up that work into subtasks.

Hi @Soda, not quite yet. The Community Configuration extension is still being progressively deployed to all Wikipedias. We also hope to improve developer guidelines and guidelines for use ASAP.

We are starting to work on tasks to ensure the extension works for a wider variety of use cases, so if you want to share what extension / use case you are thinking about, that might be helpful as we start to prioritize further improvements for the Community Configuration extension. Thanks for your interest and feedback you provided in the past!

Based on a conversation with @KStoller-WMF, I'm tentatively setting the release date for this task to Wednesday, July 17. Before the deployment date, we should work on T368606: Community configuration defaults are not merged with partially-specified objects to avoid confusion in not seeing (applying) defaults in certain cases.

I booked a window for this on the deployments calendar. The release is scheduled for Wednesday July 17, between 08:00 and 10:00 UTC.
