Hi EE and and analytics, I searched for Seattle on Facebook and am surprised to see that Facebook says below the page lede, "From Wikipedia, the free enclopedia. Edit on Wikipedia". I don't recall seeing an edit link there before. Does Analytics have a way of tracking Wikipedia content views on FB and edits that were from FB viewers? Are there any plans for FB readership, text editing or image upload editor engagement work? Thanks, Pine

Quite possibly. I'm only on Facebook occasionally. Still, I haven't heard of WMF tracking FB content views or edits that come through FB. Perhaps there are opportunities here. Pine On Fri, May 8, 2015 at 6:06 PM, Alex Monk <krenair(a)gmail.com> wrote:

All the more reason for some research and engagement work, then (: Pine On Fri, May 8, 2015 at 6:27 PM, Steven Walling <steven.walling(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Facebook sanitises their users' referers. There's no research and engagement work to perform there. On 8 May 2015 at 21:32, Pine W <wiki.pine(a)gmail.com> wrote:

well facebook surely has this data. (both views of Wikipedia content and probably also clicks of edit buttons) we could ask them about sharing it. -Jeremy

We could even create a prominent "who brought editors to Wikipedia" dashboard. And if Facebook shares with us verifiable data, we can use it as an incentive for google to add an Edit button in their Knowledge graph (because then they'd get a spot on our spiffy dashboard). Of course, we'd put a bit "this is all self reported data", etc. as a disclaimer at the bottom.
