Re: [WikimediaMobile] Notes on mobile instrumentation needs

This is a summary of my discussion with Maryana on mobile instrumentation needs: *Registration tagging* The ServerSideAccountCreation<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schema:ServerS… log only knows about mobile vs desktop registrations. Down the line we should modify it to tag new accounts by source {desktop, mobile web, mobile app, other}. For now, we can just use the existing log and extract the source by combining the userAgent and displayMobile fields. There are comments<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schema_talk:MobileWikiAppCreate… on the Schema:MobileWikiAppCreateAccount talk page that require feedback from the mobile team, if we intend to use this log for signups on apps. *Revision tagging* We propose the creation of a new “app” tag in MediaWiki on top of the current “mobile edit” tag, which we will keep for backward-compatibility. This will give us an easy way of counting all mobile edits combined or app-only edits. Detailed breakdown of edit volume/quality by app platform or version will be done via EventLogging instrumentation. *App instrumentation* Platform-specific logs such as Schema:MobileWikiAppEdit<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schema:MobileWi… are an ok interim solution but we should revamp the original plans for a consolidated edit funnel instrumentation<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schema:Edit> to be able to compare edit funnel events across different platforms and interfaces. Given that this data is not product/feature specific, it’s likely an Analytics responsibility to implement it. *Tablet edits*We still don’t have a consistent way of identifying and counting edits made on tablets (on our desktop or mobile site), but we can get some initial estimates<https://trello.com/c/XBr2mK0k/303-tablet-edits-to-desktop-site… by using UA data from the last 30 days. *Mobile dashboards* We will review the existing mobile dashboards to figure out which ones should be eventually migrated to Vital Signs<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Analytics/Epics/Editor_Engagement_V… .
