Board Thread:New Features/@comment-9605025-20191125210625

So, for those that haven't noticed, around 19:40 a new feature was released, Special:Dashboard. It has taken the place of "My Preferences" in the user drop-down menu but added a submenu which contains "My Preferences" along with a duplicate link to the dashboard, a link to contributions, and a link to the watchlist. The dashboard itself contains 3 sections. The first pertains to the global account. There are 4 panels: The next section is for the local wiki with links to the local user page and Special:ListAdmins. The last section seems to be just another version of Special:Community, Special:Insights, and the maintenance reports sections of both the admin dashboard and the "all shortcuts" in the loval navigation.
 * 1) Run script to edit global masthead
 * 2) Link to email tab of Special:Preferences
 * 3) Link to Community Central user page
 * 4) Link to Special:Preferences

It also seems to be only on Community Central for now; perhaps it is a test? Okay, it is definitely a test. Rappy just added it to ImportJS.

I still don't get the point of having Special:Insights overlapping functionality with other special pages. But that is another discussion.

I think the menu additions are nice but I am not sure how useful the dashboard will be. It doesn't seem much easier to get to.

What are your thoughts?
