Research:Article Creation Workflow/Clicktracking
ACW workflow diagram and events
[edit]
Event naming scheme
[edit]The general naming scheme used in Article Creation Workflow is the following:
'ext.articleCreationWorkflow@' + version + '-' + key
where version is the version number as set in the configuration file and key is the event label, which in turn is based on the following scheme (using a hyphen as a separator)
[referral-id]-[bucket-id]-[event]

[edit]Referral IDs
[edit]search- user followed a redlink from a search result page
browse- user followed a redlink while browsing a regular article
url- user followed a redlink from the interstitial displayed upon typing in the URL the name of a non-existing page
