The GettingStarted task order randomization (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/49975/) is ready for testing on toro.
When you refresh http://toro.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:GettingStarted, the order of the three task categories will be randomized.
This works by using three MediaWiki messages, which currently delegate to templates.
MediaWiki:gettingstarted-task-1 - Template:Gettingstarted copyediting MediaWiki:gettingstarted-task-2 - Template:Gettingstarted clarification MediaWiki:gettingstarted-task-3 - Template:Gettingstarted adding links
Note, it is a known issue that the clarification message shows the message keys when you click that question mark.

Awesome work Matt.

LGTM after trying it out on Toro.

I assume this means we can simply have the backend Ori is building feed in to these MediaWiki messages, instead of the templates, but that if a local project wants to use templates or any other custom content, they can?

Speaking of: btw it seems after this change to the randomization version, the 'on hover' action is not working, though they appear on click. I figure we're just waiting for review/merge/update?

We may be able to directly use Ori's backend if he implements it as a transcludable special page (e.g. Special:GettingStartedTask/copyediting). If not, it might require a flag to switch between these modes.

Yes, I happened to do these as separate Gerrit topics.
