phuedx renamed this task from Spike: Document stable, beta, and alpha features to Spike (2 hours): Document stable, beta, and alpha features.May 20 2015, 6:29 PM
phuedx set Security to None.

I've added '*' to things I don't understand. Also I don't see media viewer anywhere in this list.
Also @phuedx this feature matrix doesn't take into account design experiments e.g. main menu - how do we want to capture those?

I've added clarifications and MediaViewer.

A few comments:
"Related articles in search drop-down*[3]" this is in mobile web? I'm not sure I understand what this is still...
"Commons and Wikidata links*[4] is a bit misleading - what commons link are you referring to? Are you referring to the one in the infobox? If so this should come under 'Wikidata generated infobox'
"Clicking on the lead image opens the image in mediaViewer." < is this really a feature? I would have put this under media viewer. They do the same thing.
Section toggling and "Default: collapsed section" seem to be the same thing.

"Related articles in search drop-down*[3]" this is in mobile web? I'm not sure I understand what this is still...

I think this means when you search for "book" you get "publishing", which is related to book, but not book.

"Commons and Wikidata links*[4] is a bit misleading - what commons link are you referring to? Are you referring to the one in the infobox? If so this should come under 'Wikidata generated infobox'

On mobile it maybe inside infobox, but on other platforms it maybe different. So the title should not be specific to mobile.

"Clicking on the lead image opens the image in mediaViewer." < is this really a feature? I would have put this under media viewer. They do the same thing.

Yes, it's a feature. The lead image is not just any image and it's not just a background image either.

Section toggling and "Default: collapsed section" seem to be the same thing.

Not really, for example, Mobile allows toggling sections but by default they are not toggled on Tablet.

That said, please feel free to edit the wiki page if you think otherwise.

Okay. Doesn't seem like an individual feature - seems like a characteristic of search (but same could be said of all of the other search "features"). I guess a definition of what a feature is would help here.

but link to commons is misleading/confusing. A file is a link to commons. A page doesn't have an associated commons article. Commons category would be clearer... but this is essentially data generated from Wikidata so I think it comes under a Wikidata integration umbrella.

"Clicking on the lead image opens the image in mediaViewer." < is this really a feature? I would have put this under media viewer. They do the same thing.

Yes, it's a feature. The lead image is not just any image and it's not just a background image either.

but there's also 'lead image'...

I do and will do.

Thanks for jumping on this both.

The table is meant to track broad features rather than the details of how they're implemented or the specifics of how they vary between release channels, i.e. MediaViewer and Lead image are good enough – we'll have to document that in alpha, clicking the lead image opens it in the MediaViewer separately.
