Thanks for the summary, Dario.
I've placed a card in our backlog for us to implement the app-specific tag.
We definitely want this before release!
Thanks,
Dan

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…
.
