Cross-posting since there may be some things of interest, especially for Italian, Polish, German, and French speakers.

Hi all,
Quick rundown of the changes we deployed today...
- We disabled the "micro-survey" of the gender of new accounts on enwiki, and enabled the same survey on frwiki, dewiki, plwiki, and itwiki. This survey will run for two weeks on those Wikipedias.[1] - As a requirement of the above survey, we added guided tours extension to plwiki and itwiki (it was already on the others). The test tour and others may not be fully localized yet for Italian or Polish, but only the gender survey is being delivered via default. - We also enabled VisualEditor EventLogging on these other wikis to capture the survey data. This also means that edit data for VisualEditor will be captured per Schema:Edit [2].

Will that be disabled too after two weeks?

Nope, we'll leave that enabled and just the survey will be turned off. In the long run, we'll have other tours to enable on itwiki and it gives the community the opportunity to enable tours locally. The only reason guided tours wasn't on plwiki and itwiki already is because I usually wait until the test tour is localized, so people have something to try out even if there are otherwise no tours in that language.
