Background
Once Temporary Accounts are released to test.wiki, we want to review both Android and iOS apps to ensure Temporary Accounts are functioning as expected, and that the permission-setting is correct. * Temporary Accounts should have all the same permissions as current IP users, with one exception: Temporary accounts should be able to receive notifications similar to how registered accounts do.
Tasks
- [Eng] Ensure that Temporary accounts are seeing features they should be, and not seeing the features they should not see
- [Eng] Verify checklist for what Temporary Accounts should have access to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_account_types
- [Eng] Verify App-specific checklist: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Account_FAQ
- [Eng] Make test edits from Temporary Account on test.wiki within the apps and document any difficulties or unexpected results
- [Eng] Document any concerns that should be addressed before they are rolled out to pilot wikis / or what cannot be tested until Temporary Accounts are in production
- [QA] Explore if temporary accounts being rolled out will have any affect on our QA environments (smoke tests, regression tests, etc) and adjust as needed
Note: While testing, you may still come across Anonymous users. During deployment there will be Registered, Unregistered (Temporary Accounts), and Anonymous (IP Users).
