It feels like a stretch to expect the user to be able to figure out which bullet items in the "Exceptions to these guidelines" section refer to them. Couldn't we have a meta / foundationwiki page for new editor research surveys, which links to the privacy policy / data retention policy but also summarizes key points? Or at least write something like "Learn more about data retention for new editor research"?

Also, is deploying this blocked on T252575: Scale: shorten welcome survey retention window?

On second thought that does not make sense. I thought we might be worried about referring to the standard data retention policy while we still have 270+ days old responses stored, but of course those are all from people who registered 9 months ago, and don't affect people registering now.

@Tgr -- you're right, this task is not blocked by shortening the window for the exactly the reason you said. But actually, until you realized that, I was going to say it was blocked; thanks for thinking it through. That said, I do think we should still do the other task now, so that we don't forget.

Regarding the link itself -- I'm not totally sure what you're proposing. I think one of the main reasons we're making this change is so that there is not a page specific to our feature that needs to be translated for each wiki. By linking to the overall guidelines, there are more likely to be translations (though I see that there are not that many translation of that overall page). What do you recommend?

@Tgr -- I have updated the copy so that it says, "Learn more about data on new editors." Hopefully, this would help someone who clicks the link find the bullet point that begins with "New editors".

Thanks @MMiller_WMF!

For PM review - all changes are visible on testwiki wmf.39 ( with Special:WelcomeSurvey?_group=exp2_target_specialpage)

The following specs are in place:

We need to update this box to be like this:

  Header: "We value your privacy"
  Body: "The Wikimedia Foundation will use your answers to help you start editing Wikipedia. Learn more about data on new 
editors."
"Learn more about data on new editors" should be a link to this section of the data retention guidelines, which contains the exception to our guidelines covering Growth work.

The link goes to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_retention_guidelines#Exceptions_to_these_guidelines

@Etonkovidova -- thanks. I checked it out and noticed that the blue boxes on the right aren't fitting inside the bigger white box on Test Wikipedia. Did we cause this? Or does this have to do with Desktop Refresh or something?

@Etonkovidova -- I was just going through some old tasks and noticed that I have the above comment that I would like you to look into. Thank you!

Good finding - although I could not find the real example of the issue (doesn't seem currently happen), the issue is easily reproducible. If the amount of text will increase in welcomesurvey-sidebar-section-text, the text box will overflow the footer container.

Since the text in the textboxes may be changed due to translation or a custom modification by specific wikis, I filed the task - T273820. I did not move into current sprint; please add any comments or change the priority of the task.
