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.
We can reuse the content from multiple sections of the Slack article
to update "Import from Mattermost/Gitter/Rocket.Chat" by making small
wording tweaks.
- 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.

Fixes small error in the example at the top of the article, and
adds a short statement about narrows searching the current user's
personal message history with a link to the help center article.
Gives the final section a subheader and adds the two other narrow
operators that take an ID.
Updates the relevant help center articles to reflect that the
sections for Pinned and Inactive streams in the left sidebar
now have labels.
Fixes#23423.
It is better not to use a tab in the instructions for how to
"Toggle whether names of reacting users are displayed", as this setting
applies to both web/desktop and mobile apps.
The instructions themselves still indicate that the setting is controlled
via the web/desktop app.
Updates the first part of the article to discuss the basics of
the search feature. Adds sub-headers / sections to the list of
search operators. Makes the exluding messages a section header
instead of a sub-section of the list.
Updates the help center article on searching for messages to have
the correct format for the "group-pm-with" operator.
Also, reorders the list so that the private message searches are
all together, and the `streams:public` operator is last so that
it stands out a bit more.
The previous error page was inadequate for serving the two different
scenarios where we show errors in realm_creations, in particular
containing a misleading sentence about realm creation being disabled
(even in the case where it was actually enabled and the user simply had
an expired link).
Some options in the profile menu are not documented in the help center.
Documents "View messages sent".
Documents "View messages with yourself".
Links `sender:me` search operator to the relevant section on this page.
Fixes: #23203.
Change URLs on "Choosing between Zulip Cloud and self-hosting" page
to be non-relative when pointing to the Zulip landing page or `/new`
for creating a new Zulip Cloud organization.
Replaces instances of "recent topics" in the web-app and documentation
to be "recent conversations".
Renames both `recent-topics.md` files in the help center to be
`recent-conversations.md` and updates/redirects links to new URL.
Does not update instances of "recent topics" in frontend code comments
and does not update the main overview changelog, for now.
Does not change case study text where "recent topics" was referenced
in a quote, but does change generic text references to be "recent
conversations".
Renames the help article on custom profile fields to reflect that
its content is not just about adding fields.
Adds a redirect from the old URL to the new URL and updates internal
links, linking to #add-a-custom-profile-field where appropriate.
Fixes#23170.
- Consolidate /help/starting-a-new-private-thread and /help/private-messages.
- Tweak the wording on compose-and-send-message.md.
- Use compose-and-send-message.md where appropriate (and not otherwise).
Corrects "Reply mentioning user" option which is available in the
user menu if accessed from a message.
Documents "Copy mention syntax" option which is available from the
right sidebar.
Fixes: #23202.
Adds new tab to `zerver/lib/markdown/tabbed_sections.py` to document
managing bots from both personal settings and organization settings.
Documents adding bots from the organization settings Bots panel.
Separates instructions for deactivating and reactivating a bot from
both personal settings and organization settings.
Fixes a few formatting issues such as missing bold formatting and
heading level.
Fixes: #23066.
