Duration: 2015-05 – ??
This page is an incomplete draft of a research project.
Information is incomplete and is likely to change substantially before the project starts.
Between 2015-03-25 and 2015-04-01, a change was merged to all production Wikipedia projects that enabled editing via the mobile web interface without logging in. In this study we'll examine this event as a natural experiment and examine the changes that happened to the affected wikis.
