The need for this work was identified in T424023: SPIKE PersonalDashboard: Investigate ways to make dashboard instatiation more dynamic

Currently, the composition of modules in hardcoded in SpecialPersonalDashboard.

Module composition groups should be registered in extension.json to allow for more flexibility.

Acceptance criteria:

  • modules groups are namespaced to the extension that registers them
  • module loading may be controlled via url parameter to enable otherwise disabled modules

Okay, this is ready for a look. This is working reasonably well in my local testing, though I should note that I haven't added any unit or integration tests.

I set it up so that you can enable and disable modules via url param. Here's a screenshot of
/wiki/Special:PersonalDashboard?ext_personalDashboard_activeDiscussions=yes&ext_personalDashboard_riskyArticleEdits=no
in my local environment:

You can see I've effectively replaced risky article edits with active discussions via url query params
