I had a look and I don't think that would be easy to do. DiscussionTools adds some markup (<mw:dt-ellipsisbutton>) for every heading on the page in the ParserAfterTidy hook, even if it has no comments, and so the OutputPageBeforeHTML hook needs to postprocess that markup. Maybe this could be refactored somehow, as currently in the majority of cases the latter hook ends up just removing that markup, but this seems a bit complex and easy to get wrong (especially in case we end up changing the configuration in the future so that the markup is used more often). The current approach where we return early only if there is no DiscussionTools markup at all is safer, and seems good enough to me.

KStoller-WMF closed T400937: Investigate Feasibility of Enabling Growth Features on Wikidata as Resolved.

Thanks for testing and logging the associated bug (which has been fixed: T403558).
I think we can consider this resolved. We've done more than investigate and actually released GrowthExperiments to Beta Wikidata where WMDE and community members are reviewing and deciding if/when they want to add Growth features to WikiData.

Bewfip added a comment to T400115: Possible performance issue in DiscussionTools .

I have an idea for follow-up: Can the OutputPageBeforeHTML hook return early if the ParserAfterTidy hook does not find any comment during Parser::parse()? It would be helpful for those content pages in $wgExtraSignatureNamespaces, which can be long sometimes. This does not concern the talk namespaces, and I guess the "empty state" UI elements might depend on it.

Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE added a comment to T400918: Zuul does not support Gerrit rebase submit strategy correctly, may merge deterministically broken code (breaking all subsequent CI) or report spurious merge conflicts.

Apparently the “merge conflict” from T400918#11086095 can happen even when no files were being added, as seen in PS3 of this change.

TheDJ added a project to T396520: Make SecurePoll dark mode compatible: Accessibility.

Makes it a bit hard to tell the difference between the first strikethrough (not previously elected) and the second strikethrough (previously elected). Can we go a bit darker on the color?
