1. Trying the prototype

1. On a desktop / laptop computer, visit: https://patchdemo.wmflabs.org/wikis/2f3d9efbec/wiki/Talk:Main_Page
2. Create an account by clicking the Create account link. Note: this is a test wiki so you will not be able to log in using the same username you use on other projects.
3. Return to https://patchdemo.wmflabs.org/wikis/2f3d9efbec/wiki/Talk:Main_Page
4. Start a new discussion
5. Comment in an existing discussion
6. Disable being automatically subscribed to the discussions you start and/or comment in

Notes:

i. For ease of testing, the popup appears every time you get auto-subscribed. In the production version, the popup will only appear once.

ii. Once deployed, being automatically subscribed to discussions will be an opt-in feature for everyone except new accounts.
