Config

The following configuration options will apply only to the default mobile skin - Minerva.

$wgMinervaAlwaysShowLanguageButton

    'base' => false,
  ]

Controls whether the category button should be displayed.

$wgMinervaDonateLink

Type: Array

    'base' => true,
  ]

When enabled a donate link will be added to the main menu. The donate link uses the sitesupport and sitesupport-url mediawiki messages.

$wgMinervaDonateBanner

Type: Array
Default:

  [
    'base' => false,
  ]

When enabled and associated messages have been defined (skin-minerva-donate-banner-url) a banner will appear at the bottom of the mobile main menu.

$wgMinervaTalkAtTop

Type: Array
Default:

  [
    'base' => false,
    'amc' => true,
  ]

Controls whether the talk option should be displayed at the top of the page. This will work for all pages except the main page.

$wgMinervaHistoryInPageActions

Type: Array
Default:

  [
    'base' => false,
    'amc' => true,
  ]

Controls whether the history link appears in the page actions menu.

$wgMinervaAdvancedMainMenu

Type: Array
Default:

  [
    'base' => false,
    'amc' => true,
  ]

Controls whether the main menu is expanded to contain recent changes and various options.

$wgMinervaOverflowInPageActions

Type: Array
Default:

  [
    'base' => false,
    'amc' => false,
  ]

Controls whether the overflow link appears in the page actions menu.

$wgMinervaAlwaysShowLanguageButton

Type: Boolean
Default: true

Whether to show the language switcher button even if no languages are available for the page.

$wgMinervaABSamplingRate

Type: Number
Default: 0

On a scale of 0 to 1, determines the chance a user has of entering an AB test. A test is divided into 3 buckets, "control" "A" and "B". Users that are selected for the test have an equal chance of entering bucket "A" or "B", the remaining users fall into the "control" bucket and are excluded from the test.

1 - would run test on 100% of users (50% in A and 50% in B, 0 in control). 0.5 - would run test on 50% of users (25% in A, 25% in B, 50% in control). 0.05 - would run test on 5% of users (2.5% in A, 2.5% in B, 95% in control). 0 would disable the test and place all users in "control".

Group assignment is universal no matter how many tests are running since both wgMinervaABSamplingRate and mw.user.sessionId() are globals.

Group membership can be debugged from the console via:

  const AB = require('skins.minerva.scripts/AB')
  new AB({
    testName: 'WME.PageIssuesAB',
    samplingRate: mw.config.get( 'wgMinervaABSamplingRate', 0 ),
    sessionId: mw.user.sessionId()
  }).getBucket()

And since session ID is an input in calculating the group, reassignment occurs when clearing it: mw.storage.session.remove('mwuser-sessionId').
