The Growth-Team currently works on the Community configuration project. To ensure the MediaWiki-extensions-CommunityConfiguration extension works correctly within Wikimedia production as well, we should enable it at testwiki as the first step to a production release. Before that, we should double-check all blocking pre-deployment steps from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Writing_an_extension_for_deployment are completed.

Special:CommunityConfiguration is on testwiki wmf.8.
@Urbanecm_WMF since the validation improvement and UI improvements are still work-in-progress, I think such issues should not be filed against CommunityConfiguration on testwiki wmf.8 ?
That is correct. We did not backport all fixes yet, so some UI issues will be fixed with wmf.9, once it arrives next week.
This is now ready for announcement. Testwiki already has CommunityConfiguration enabled.
@Urbanecm_WMF For Tech News, do you have any suggestions on the wording? I'm not sure which aspects need/ought to be highlighted for editors. Thanks!
Potential blurb:
The new CommunityConfiguration extension is available on Test Wikipedia. This extension allows communities to customize specific features to meet their local needs. Currently only Growth features are configurable, but the extension will support other Community Configuration use cases in the future.
But @Urbanecm_WMF or @Trizek-WMF are welcome to suggest something else.
If we want to link to a task, perhaps the associated Epic would be better than this task? T323811: [EPIC] Community configuration 2.0: Factor Community configuration out of GrowthExperiments
