Subject: 1.26wmf24 deployment update
1.26wmf24 is being deployed to WMF wikis this week. This includes changes
to Echo from wmf22 and wmf23 that were reverted or held back over the past
two weeks.
The highlights are:
- The notification flyout split
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T108190> (into alerts/messages) is
back.
- You can now choose to receive a notification when someone sends you an
email <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T56130> using Special:Emailuser
(thanks to Umherirrender for the patch!).
- The orange user talk page alert now goes away immediately when you
click "Mark all as read"
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T106033> and when
you view your user talk page <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T107655>.
- Pre-filling the title and content of a new Flow topic using URL
parameters now works again <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T112037>.
wmf24 will be rolled out according to the standard deployment schedule:
- Tuesday 18:00-20:00 UTC: test wikis (mediawiki.org
<https://www.mediawiki.org/>, testwiki <https://test.wikipedia.org/>,
test2wiki <https://test2.wikipedia.org/> and testwikidata
<https://test.wikidata.org/>)
- Wednesday 18:00-20:00 UTC: non-Wikipedia wikis
- Thursday 18:00-20:00 UTC: Wikipedias
Today's deployment to test wikis was delayed. It hasn't happened yet as of
this writing, but it's likely to happen in the next hour or so.
Whoops, I sent the last couple weeks' worth of deployment updates to the
wrong list. Sorry about that!

Subject: 1.26wmf23 deployment update
1.26wmf23 is being deployed to WMF wikis this week. There are no new
changes to Echo: Echo is was rolled back to 1.26wmf21 because of a nasty
bug in Safari <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T112552> and performance
issues <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T112401>; these issues are now
fixed, but Echo will remain frozen this week. We will re-deploy the
notification flyout changes and the other changes from wmf22 and wmf23
along with wmf24 in next week's cycle.
As for things that are actually rolling out this week:
- The button that switches between the wikitext editor and VisualEditor
in Flow has been redesigned <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T101316>.
Both editors are now the same size, to make the switch smoother.
- "Mark as resolved" has been moved up
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T110083> to the top half of the
actions menu for Flow posts.
- Translations for the Topic namespace were added in Orya and Korean.
wmf23 is being rolled out according to the standard deployment schedule:
- Tuesday 18:00-20:00 UTC: test wikis (mediawiki.org
<https://www.mediawiki.org/>, testwiki <https://test.wikipedia.org/>,
test2wiki <https://test2.wikipedia.org/> and testwikidata
<https://test.wikidata.org/>)
- Wednesday 18:00-20:00 UTC: non-Wikipedia wikis
- Thursday 18:00-20:00 UTC: Wikipedias
