Hello
After receiving feedback raising up speed issues on RecentChanges pages
using the new filters, we are postponing the release of those filters
until *October
3* minimum.
Some features are under improvement, especially the ones about speed
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T176250>.
I'll send you an update when the new release schedule will be ready. Until
then, please share this announcement with your communities.
Please ping me if you have questions!
On behalf of the Global Collaboration team,
Benoît

earlier) delayed to *September 19*.
- *Phase 2*: All communities except those with valid reasons why not,
delayed to *September 26*
- *Phase 3*: Holdover from phase 2, still scheduled on week of *October
1*.

Hello!
(This a quite long email, because it is super detailed.)
Some of you have certainly tested the *New filters for Edit review*,
which improve Recent Changes review experience. At the moment, those
filters are available as a Beta feature on all wikis.
We have received a lot of positive feedback about the filters, so we are
going to move most of those features out of Beta next month. This email to
introduce to you the features that will become default and the planned
schedule.
*What is released by default?*
You can discover all improvements made on the project page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Edit_Review_Improvements/New_filters_for_edit_review>
.
When the deployment will be done, it will be possible to keep the Recent
Changes pages like they are now by default through an option in your
preferences.
Will be released by default:
- The new interface
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review/Quick_tour>
- Quite all filters

*When will it happen?*
We have defined 3 phases for the release:
- *Phase 1*: Catalan Wikipedia, French Wikipedia and Hebrew
Wikipedia, on week of *September 12*.
Phase 1 wikis have been chosen by the development team for an early
release. They will receive messages soon about this change.
That early release is done to check if all is going good. We have
repetitively tested the new features and we do not expect major issues.
If your community wants to be included in Phase 1, please let us know (we
may refuse if we have too much requests).
- *Phase 2*: All communities except those with valid reasons why not,
week of *September 19*
Communities with specific concerns or internal discussion can request to
have the deployment to their wikis delayed to phase 3 (see below) *if
they have sensible, consistent with the project, actionable, realistic
feedback to oppose* (at the development team's appreciation).
- *Phase 3*: Holdover from phase 2, week of *October 1*.
If your community have comments or requests concerning the deployments, please
let us know <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T164489> (please provide
links to community discussions).
[Reminder] The release of the New Filters on Watchlists (as a Beta
feature) is independent from these phases and will happen on *September
5* on all wikis.
*What can I do to help?*
First of all, you can *share this schedule with your community*. I'll
send this announcement in the coming weeks, to main wikis and
wiki-thematic User Groups. Your wiki may not be on my list, or people may
miss one message: that's why your help is necessary! :)
You can report bugs or suggest improvements anytime, directly to me or on
Phabricator (#Edit-Review-Improvements-Integrated-Filters). Future
improvements are listed on the project board on Phabricator
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/manage/2828/>.
You can also check the documentation
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review> to see
if there is things to translate.
Please tell me if you have questions.
Thank you for your help!
Benoît
