Re: [Analytics] Tracking page creations, moves, and deletions

Hi all, On the Growth team, we (and by we, I mean Aaron Halfaker) have been doing a great deal of work to understand trends in new article creation,[1] particularly from the new user perspective. Along with this and our launch of the new Draft namespace, we've discovered that our current data sources for tracking page creations, moves, and deletions are far too slow and awkward to use on a daily or weekly basis. To solve this problem and answer on-going questions about how many page creators there are, how successful they are, and what workflows they use, we've created three new schemas: - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schema:PageCreation - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schema:PageDeletion - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schema:PageMove We envision using similar to how we're using schemas like Schema:ServerSideAccountCreation and Schema:PrefUpdate. We will likely be implementing these in our team's next sprint, starting on February 5th, so if you have feedback please speak up soon. :) 1. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_article_creation -- Steven Walling, Product Manager https://wikimediafoundation.org/ _______________________________________________ Analytics mailing list Analytics(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/analytics
