Configuring campaign-specific topics in the suggested edits module

Campaign-specific topics can be configured via GECampaignTopics and GECampaigns (task T301029).

GECampaignTopics maps the topic ID to the search expression for the topic.

GECampaigns maps the campaign name to the topics that should be shown for the campaign and the pattern used to match the campaign query parameter when the user creates an account from Special:CreateAccount. The pattern should be a full PHP PCRE regexp, including the delimiters and (if needed) start/end anchor (e.g. /^foo$/).

In the following examples, users in growth-glam-2022 campaign will see three additional topics in the suggested edits module: "Argentina", "Mexico" and "Chile". This config is added to MediaWiki:GrowthExperimentsConfig.json

{
    "GECampaignTopics": {
        "argentina": "growtharticletopic:argentina",
        "mexico": "growtharticletopic:mexico",
        "chile": "growtharticletopic:chile"
    },
    "GECampaigns": {
        "growth-glam-2022": {
            "topics": [
                "argentina",
                "mexico",
                "chile"
            ],
            "pattern": "/^growth-glam-2022$/"
        }
    }
}
