A/B test for New Discussion Tool

Hello. Help met het vertalen in uw taal.

The mw:Editing team is building the New Discussion tool. This new tool was requested during the mw:Talk pages consultation 2019. You can turn on "Overleghulpmiddelen" now at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures. It changes the "Onderwerp toevoegen" button. It makes "Onderwerp toevoegen" work more like the [reageren] button. It has both visual and wikitext source modes. It will add your signature automatically.

The Editing team wants to test the New Discussion tool. Your Wikipedia helped with the study about the reageren tool. That study was useful and had clear, positive results. They ask you to help again with a new test. They want to learn whether the New Discussion tool works better, especially for new editors. In the test, they will turn on the New Discussion tool for half of editors. They will not change preferences for the other editors. You will still be able to turn it on or off yourself in Special:Preferences.

The test will run for several weeks. It will probably start in November 2021. The results will be posted at mw:Talk pages project/New discussion. The test results will help Wikipedia editors and the Editing team decide whether the tool should be turned on for everyone.

If your Wikipedia does not want to participate in this test, please contact me as soon as possible. Thank you. Whatamidoing (WMF) (overleg) 8 okt 2021 00:50 (CEST)

This is the same idea as Wikipedia:De kroeg/Archief/20201212#A/B test for the Reply tool, except that this tool creates new ==Sections== instead of individual comments. Whatamidoing (WMF) (overleg) 8 okt 2021 00:51 (CEST)

Thanks for the update @Whatamidoing (WMF), please go ahead. Ad Huikeshoven (overleg) 12 okt 2021 11:21 (CEST)
