Description:
Hi. Per community consensus below, I would like to request enabling AFTv5 on Arabic Wikipedia (messages are fully localized)
Thanks.
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

From what I understand, there will be no deployments of ArticleFeedbackv5, other than a pilot deployment on the German language Wikipedia and the current 10% on English language Wikipedia. I've added Fabrice Florin (Product Manager at Wikimedia) and Terry Chay (Director of Features Engineering at Wikimedia) to the CC list so they can comment on the request or correct my current understanding.
Until more information is know, I'd hold off on the patch creation, Dereckson.
Agreed.
I must confess my first priority were this patch doesn't interfere with my current cleaning work on InitialiseSettings.php, as I moved this afternoon the AFT config in its own file.

I believe that all AFTv5 requests (pilot or otherwise) on new wikis are under hold because of database impact in its design. (The dewiki pilot which is small, on a different db, and has a developer who speaks german and can work around some of the i18n issues that have come up (Bug #42881). AFTv5 is undergoing a complete refactoring in order to accommodate the database issue (and around that time we'll try to sneak in a fix for Bug #42881).
Hopefully then we can unblock this bug.
Dereckson,
If you have a change in Gerrit, I can -2 it. Since it's only a config thing, I doubt it'd need to be rebased, but there is risk otherwise: especially if it involves localization of messages.
If you're reworking InitializeSettings.php, I'd suggest you separate that patch from this one, as the only way this would be possible on arwiki is late January at the earliest. :-(
All is well: my initial plan were to make several commits with dependencies, so there isn't currently nothing to invalidate or split.
Thank you Cipher, for posting this ticket!
Is there an english-speaking representative member of the Arabic community who
could act as a liaison with our WMF team for this proposed deployment?
We recommend that you review our proposed release plan, and particularly the
checklist of actions we recommend when considering a release of this tool on
your site:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Article_feedback/Version_5/Release_Plan_2013#Checklist
From our standpoint, the best time for us to support this proposed release
would be summer 2013, tough we would like to start the discussion with your
representative as soon as possible, so we can determine a release plan for your
site together.
Please contact me at this email address: <fflorin-at-wikimedia.org>. I have also Cc:d our developer Matthias Mullie, who would be involved in this deployment, as well as our English community liaison Oliver Keyes.
We look forward to making this happen with you in coming months -- and hope to
meet some of you at Wikimania in Hong Kong in August!
Cheers ...
