We have two options:
1) if this is supposed to become a canonical definition of “mobile active editors” (i.e. a
definition that we would be comfortable exposing on the official reportcard), we cannot
nail down the exact query until we’ve made a decision based on:
[1]
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Refining_the_definition_of_monthly…
[2]
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Mobile_editor_engagement/Mobile_ac…
We need to evaluate the pros and cons of different definitions (and once we’ve settled on
a canonical definition, we won’t be changing it again). I don’t expect this to happen
within a few hours or days.
2) if instead we want to restore data for the mobile dashboards ASAP based on an interim
definition (with the understanding that this may change once there is consensus on the
canonical one), I recommend we go for Dan’s definition #1 and follow the assumptions
described in the Mobile active editor page above (option C). Someone correct me if I am
wrong, but I don’t think Dan’s definition #2 is a use case I’ve heard of from the Mobile
team (cumulative lifetime 5+ editors for cohorts defined by the month of registration).

That would be good. It is suppose to be in line with the active editor metric.
Wait, so it *is* supposed to be like the active editor metric? To be very clear, we have
two possible questions we can be answering here, and only one of them is like the active
editor metric. Both of these questions will show results for X <- {each of the last 12
months}
1. How many people, of those that created their account on mobile, made at least 5 edits
in month X? [THIS IS LIKE ACTIVE EDITOR]
2. How many people created their account on mobile in month X, and made at least 5 edits
since then?
I've implemented both, but there is a pretty big difference so we need to figure that
out before moving on.
