#### $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').
