Thanks for bringing this up, Steven and Oliver. I'm sorry for having pushed Drafts into more prominence without checking with this team first. What's the best way to check with the design team to get a proper design review of a proposed extension, such as Drafts? Should I add it to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/UX_review_queue and/or ask the code author to follow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WMF_Project_Design_Review_Process ?
Boring how-this-happened details: Just before my vacation this summer, I asked for some help maintaining the review queue (for new extensions to potentially be deployed on WMF sites: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Review_queue ). The Drafts extension got added to this list, and in late August I accidentally went straight into requesting code review and improvements from Trevor, using his 20% time. Per our procedures at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Writing_an_extension_for_deployment#Design_re... , I should have instead gotten Drafts a design review first, from WMF's product management or design team. That procedure document indicates that requesting a design review should start a conversation about the design of the feature, which should include community consensus on the wiki where the extension would be deployed.
Thanks.
