### Config
The following configuration options will apply only to the default mobile skin - Minerva.
#### $wgMinervaAlwaysShowLanguageButton
* Type: `Boolean`
* Default: `true`
Whether to show the language switcher button even if no languages are available
for the page.
#### $wgMinervaEnableSiteNotice
* Type: `Boolean`
* Default: `false`
Controls whether site notices should be shown.
See <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSiteNotice>.
#### $wgMinervaShowCategories
* Type: `Array`
* Default:
```php
[
'base' => false,
'beta' => true,
]
```
Controls whether the category button should be displayed.
#### $wgMinervaApplyKnownTemplateHacks
* Type: `Boolean`
* Default: `false`
When enabled and hacks.less exists, hacks.less workarounds are included in stylesheet. These should only be needed for Wikimedia based wikis or wikis using common templates such as Template:Infobox on those wikis.
#### $wgMinervaDonateLink
* Type: `Array`
* Default:
```php
[
'base' => true,
]
```
When enabled a donate link will be added to the main menu. The donate link uses the `sitesupport` and `sitesupport-url` mediawiki messages.
#### $wgMinervaPageActions
* Type: `Array`
* Default: `['edit', 'talk', 'watch', 'switch-language']`
Controls which page actions, if any, are displayed. Allowed: `edit`, `watch`, `talk`, and
`switch-language`.
#### $wgMinervaPageIssuesNewTreatment
* Type: `Array`
* Default:
```php
[
'base' => false,
'beta' => true,
]
```
Controls whether page issues should be replaced with a "Page issues" link (false) or displayed inline (true).
#### $wgMinervaTalkAtTop
* Type: `Array`
* Default:
```php
[
'beta' => false,
'base' => false,
'amc' => true,
]
```
Controls whether the talk option should be displayed at the top of the page.
This will work for all pages except the main page.
#### $wgMinervaHistoryInPageActions
* Type: `Array`
* Default:
```php
[
'beta' => false,
'base' => false,
'amc' => true,
]
```
Controls whether the history link appears in the page actions menu.
Feature flag overhaul Two new feature flags: 1) MinervaPersonalMenu 2) MinervaAdvancedMainMenu Changes: * AMC defaults to false on desktop - desktop doesn't have AMC mode it just enables several skin options. * WHen inserting a link at the bottom of the page check whether the talk at top of the page (tabs) is enabled.. not AMC * Update ServiceWiring to construct menu based on MinervaAdvancedMainMenu and MinervaPersonalMenu - note when former is enabled but not latter there is no way to logout. Noted in README. * Use one entry point for skins.minerva.amc.styles/index.less * Document files inside skins.minerva.amc.styles to make it clear which features they are associated with * Drop history page styles when AMC is disabled - it's not possible to ever get to these as the history page redirects in non-AMC mode * Rename the class .minerva--amc-enabled to minerva--history-page-action-enabled to reflect its real purpose and move styles from skins.minerva.base.styles to skins.minerva.amc.styles No need to worry about cached HTML as AMC runs without cache... * Remove isAnyAMCOptionEnabled - it's an antipattern and should be discouraged as it discourages the art of feature flagging. Nothing is using it after these changes. * The AMC_MODE flag is disabled. There is no need for this - AMC is not a feature and therefore not a skin option. It is a mechanism for turning on other skin options. Tests are updated. Testing: It should now be possible to enable any feature in `beta` and see it in the beta of the site.

#### $wgMinervaAdvancedMainMenu
* Type: `Array`
* Default:
```php
[
'beta' => false,
'base' => false,
'amc' => true,
]
```
Controls whether the main menu is expanded to contain recent changes and various options
that require login are removed. Note, should be enabled alongside `$wgMinervaPersonalMenu` to avoid losing access to features (in particular logout button).
#### $wgMinervaPersonalMenu
* Type: `Array`
* Default:
```php
[
'beta' => false,
'base' => false,
'amc' => true,
]
```
Controls whether a personal menu appears in the header chrome. This menu contains pages such as Special:Watchlist. Note, should be enabled alongside `$wgMinervaAdvancedMainMenu` to avoid duplicating links to functionality as many of the links duplicate links in the standard main menu. Note a sandbox link will be present if the extension `SandboxLink` is enabled.
#### $wgMinervaOverflowInPageActions
* Type: `Array`
* Default:
```php
[
'beta' => false,
'base' => false,
'amc' => false,
]
```
Controls whether the overflow link appears in the page actions menu.
```
Controls whether the share feature should be added to the page actions menu.
#### $wgMinervaAlwaysShowLanguageButton
* Type: `Boolean`
* Default: `true`
Whether to show the language switcher button even if no languages are available for the page.
#### $wgMinervaABSamplingRate
* Type: `Number`
* Default: `0`
On a scale of 0 to 1, determines the chance a user has of entering an AB test.
A test is divided into 3 buckets, "control" "A" and "B". Users that are selected for the
test have an equal chance of entering bucket "A" or "B", the remaining users fall into the
"control" bucket and are excluded from the test.
1 - would run test on 100% of users (50% in A and 50% in B, 0 in control).
0.5 - would run test on 50% of users (25% in A, 25% in B, 50% in control).
0.05 - would run test on 5% of users (2.5% in A, 2.5% in B, 95% in control).
0 would disable the test and place all users in "control".
Group assignment is universal no matter how many tests are running since both
`wgMinervaABSamplingRate` and `mw.user.sessionId()` are globals.
Group membership can be debugged from the console via:
```js
const AB = mw.mobileFrontend.require('skins.minerva.scripts/AB')
new AB({
testName: 'WME.PageIssuesAB',
samplingRate: mw.config.get( 'wgMinervaABSamplingRate', 0 ),
sessionId: mw.user.sessionId()
}).getBucket()
```
And since session ID is an input in calculating the group, reassignment occurs
when clearing it: `mw.storage.session.remove('mwuser-sessionId')`.
