Bug ID: 56517
Summary: The "Beta" personal menu item should only be shown for
users who opted in to at least one beta feature
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW

The "Beta" personal menu item should only be shown for users who opted in to at
least one beta feature. (I mean genuinely opted in, not including the users who
merely did not opt out of default beta features.)
The personal menu can already be rather crowded (the default 6 items, ULS,
Echo, LiquidThreads, sandbox links from site JS, and I'm probably missing
some), and the "Beta" itself can become a *lot* longer in translations (the
expression "beta feature" is not directly translateable to many languages).
I have once in the past created a superficially similar thing in site JS on
pl.wp – a gadget preferences manager which added its own special page, which
was linked from the personal menu – and I was promptly and bluntly told to get
rid of that link. (It is now only linked from the Preferences pages and
descriptions of each gadget that uses it and everyone is happy.)
(Personally I would consider this – or some other solution to the crowdedness
issue – a blocker to wider release.)
