Testing instructions
- Visit Special:Preferences > Beta features (read: mw-prefsection-betafeatures) at each of the Wikipedias listed above and confirm DiscussionTools is available as a Beta feature
- Visit the 8 "Test pages" listed in the "Phase 1 wikis" sectiono above. At each of them, do the following:
- A) Document the text input mode – source or visual – is shown when using the Reply Tool for the first time on a given wiki
- B) Document if the Reply Tool does NOT "remember" [ii] the text input mode – source or visual – you used in your previous edit
- File a task if any of the conditions below are NOT met:
- The Reply Tool can be used to reply to all comments. [i]
- [ reply ] links are appearing where and/or how they should be
Potential issues

ckb.wiki

ko.wiki

Done
- The Reply Tool has been tested on 5 talk pages at each of the "Phase 1 wikis"
- Tickets have been filed for the issues that surfaced during testing
i. There are some exceptions. E.g comments transcluded from other pages that are not explicitly specified cannot be replied to using the Reply Tool. Bartosz communicated this in detail here: T259653#6361242.
ii. "Remember" in this context means the following:
- 1. You post a comment (call it "Comment 1") using the tool's source mode
- 2. You post another comment (call it "Comment 2") using the tool's visual mode
- 3. When you open the Reply Tool to post a third comment (call it "Comment 3"), you should "land" in the tool's visual mode (the same mode you used to make Comment 2)
iii. The "Test pages" are either the community's village pump page (where I'm assuming a variety of templates and conventions are used) or, in cases where wikis do not have a village pump-like wikitext discussion page, I've linked to wikitext talk pages with a decent amount of activity.
