Research talk:Onboarding new Wikipedians/Rollout/Work log/2014-02-12

Wednesday, February 12th

Today, I'm building a report to track the usage of GettingStarted and GuidedTour. There are a few resources that I can draw from:

• Schema:GettingStartedRedirectImpression - Tracks impressions of the GS CTA
• Schema:GuidedTour - Tracks events for GuidedTours where shouldLog=true. I assume that this includes tours within GS
• mw:Manual:Change_tag_table - ct_tag = "gettingstarted edit" tracks edits that are made through GS

Things that would be nice to know:

• What proportion of R:newly registered users see the CTA?
  • Break down by type of CTA.
• What proportion of R:new editors make an edit through GS? Should be an early indicator of issues.

So, this is going to be difficult. My log data from those schemas is only available to be joined with data from enwiki, but I'd like to be able to perform this analysis for all wikis where GS is turned on. Right now, that list is small, but it could grow. I think I'm going to have a build up a whole environment to help me gather this data. This could be something that supports a lot of other work too.

Checking with DarTar on that strategy now. --Halfak (WMF) (talk) 18:58, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
