Description
From the description of the Newcomer Tasks project (see
T227728: [EPIC] Growth: Newcomer tasks 1.0
) and the initial implementation of the underlying API (see
T234426: Newcomer tasks: GrowthExperiments API for template tasks
), it appears that the project supersedes the GettingStarted project.
The GettingStarted project was deployed by the
old Growth Team
in 2013 (?) and active development ceased circa August 2014. Because the team disbanded quickly, however, and the project was never undeployed. Newly registered users
still receive
the
GettingStarted UX
to this day.
It's great that an extension not under active development still impacts people's experiences on the Wikipedias and largely a testament to the contributors who have fixed compatibility issues and/or bugs after the extension's authors moved on. Simultaneously, all deployed code is a maintenance burden and the GettingStarted project is no exception. We should discuss whether the Newcomer Tasks project does indeed supersede GettingStarted and whether the latter can be undeployed.

We can announce the date on the next Tech News. So we need a date. Let's say on week 40 (October 3)?
Possible text:
The GettingStarted extension provides an onboarding process for new editors of a few versions of Wikipedia. However, Growth features provide a more complete onboarding experience. Since the vast majority of Wikipedias now have access to the Growth features, GettingStarted will be deactivated on [date].

There's also
gettingstarted-with-category-suggestions.yaml
plus a couple wiki yaml files referencing it.
Parsoid which has a bunch of
gettingstarted-task-toolbar-show-intro
references in its codebase (which is a GettingStarted user preference key), not sure about that (tests? will they break when it's undeployed?) -
@ssastry
do you know about that?
Non-config followups:
drop the
GettingStartedRedirectImpression
EventLogging schema
drop message overrides from WikimediaMessages
revert
rEGSTd266c4e39419: Suppress VisualEditor welcome dialog when tour is active
maybe reach out to the
few non-Wikimedia users
to see if they care, and archive the extension if they don't?

They are just cached site configs used in testing. We can regenerate them anytime.

for Tech News, I see there are 2 drafts above. Which would you prefer?
Starting 4 October, [[GettingStarted]] will be removed from the wikis. This is due to the deployment of [[Growth features]], which provide a more complete experience for newcomers.

This happened. Closing this directly, as there's really nothing to QA -- the extension is no longer executed (and it's practically not working for longer time). Not sure if a "done" notification should be sent too -- leaving that up to you.

Hi
@Kormat
, pinging you as today's SRE clinic duty. The GettingStarted extension was undeployed, which means it no longer uses Redis in production (
). I'm not sure if anything else needs to be done, apart from updating docs and undeploying the code.

As far as i can tell, this doesn't require anything from the SRE side of things. Cheers.

@Ottomata
, do you know if there are any conventions for the schemas of extensions which are undeployed? Should the schemas get dropped or preserved for the sake of history? Should we do something about the data or is it dropped eventually anyway? (It has a bunch of "keep" entries in
event_sanitized_analytics_allowlist
, not sure what that means for data retention.)

dblist dropped from prod. Thanks a lot to everyone for helping with identifying things that should be cleaned up.

, do you know if there are any conventions for the schemas of extensions which are undeployed? Should the schemas get dropped or preserved for the sake of history? Should we do something about the data or is it dropped eventually anyway? (It has a bunch of "keep" entries in
event_sanitized_analytics_allowlist
, not sure what that means for data retention.)
My read of
is that we should remove the allowlist entries themselves as there's no data being actively collected/purged and that dropping the data is a decision for the data owner.

Sorry I missed the earlier ping!
There isn't a lot of great guidance/automation here.
Schemas should stay, but perhaps we can update their
description
or README files to indicate they are deprecated.
stream config entries should be removed. Actually, better would be to have an official way to 'decom' a stream. See also
T259712: Allow disabling/enabling configured streams via wgEventStreams config
I think sanitize allowlist entries should be removed.
Previously sanitized data will never be purged, even if there is no longer an entry in the allowlist. It can be manually removed though, if that is necessary.

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), the GettingStarted schemas/instruments were never migrated to the Event Platform so these steps aren't necessary.
