Fixes#23517.
While this feature was added to Zulip very early, it has been troubled
for most of that time; it never looked great visually, had a lot of
implementation complexity around resize.js, and has a weird model (a
setting that changes the UI only in certain window sizes).
This option is not commonly used; while a significant portion of users
have it enabled, many of them just don't use window sizes where it
actually has an effect. So it's not clear that it will be missed if
removed; we got very few bug reports when it was completely broken for
a few days after we first integrated the new left sidebar private
messages design.
Even with it no longer being broken, it does not work very well with
the addition of the new PMs section in the left sidebar. (Having two
scrollbars in the sidebar looks quite awkward.) The new private
messages section in the left sidebar also addresses some of the use
cases for always keeping the Users list always visible, even in narrow
windows.
This option is only removed from frontend for now. To make this
decision easily reversible, the backend code of this feature
is still kept.
- Renames the page to "Usage statistics" (title & left sidebar).
- Adds an intro section that outlines the types of information
that can be found on the stats page.
Fixes#23449.
Adds "View your mentions" page to document how to access @-mentions
and the @ indicator for unread @-mentions on desktop/web and mobile.
Fixes#23422.

its content is not just about adding fields.

Adds new page "Marking messages as unread", just below "Marking

Fixes: #23052.
This help center article should include more features rather than just

The changes in the last few commits changed the semantics of the
organization default language to no longer be the primary source of
information for a user's language when creating a new account.
Here, we change the settings UI and /help/ documentation to reflect
this.
Adds a drop-down menu for updating the organization type in the
`organization_profile_admin` page. Implements front end for
this setting to work / update like other organization profile,
notification and permissions settings.
One special note about this dropdown is that the listed options
should change once an organization has successfully set a type
other than 'unspecified' in the database. To accomplish this
the initial settings overlay build checks the realm_org_type
value in the page_params to select the correct options list,
and when the dropdown value is reset, either for update events
or for discarding changes, the page_params value is again used
to check for whether the 'unspecified' value should be present
as an option in the dropdown menu.
Adds basic node test for the `server_events_dispatch`.
Also adds a new help center documentation article for this
organization setting that is linked to in the UI.
Fixes#21692.
Updates various articles related to editing messages (settings,
edit history, etc) for changes in UI, adding undocumented
settings, and cleaning/linking documentation text and headers.
Adds content on user group permissions / management to the general
help center article for user groups (`/help/user-groups`) and
removes the then redundant `/help/restrict-user-group-management`
article.
Redirects links in help center and api documentation from deleted
article to the new configure user group settings section of
`/help/user-groups`.
Fixes#21383.
Add `escape_navigates_to_default_view` as a bool setting in
UserBaseSettings model and implement it as a checkbox that toggles
the hotkey implementation of escape to the default view in the
advanced user display settings.
With /help/ documentation edits from Alya Abbott.
Fixes#20043.
Oops, I have a couple of changes here:
1) Adding a "Create user groups" section to the new org guide.
2) Moving a tip out of how-to-invite-users-to-join.md, so that I
can reuse that section in the Zulip for clases guide I'm working
on without having the tip in it.
This better matches the title of the page and more generally our
conventions around naming /help/ articles. We include a redirect
because this is referenced from Welcome Bot messages, and we
definitely don't want those links to break.
