Keep going mobile experiment badly thought out
by Jon Robson 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

Mobile is experimenting with showing a small banner at the top of the main page that prompts logged in editors to help a page in need of new links: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page?mobileaction=beta I think this is _great_ and started playing with it on the train with nothing to do. Two improvements need to be made though: 1) It's difficult to know what to link to. I wrap words which I feel should be existing wiki pages but I pretty much have to guess or open a new window to check those. Some kind of search interface or link validation tool/corrector would be useful. 2) Since red links are turned off in the editor preview it can be tricky to know whether I caused a typo or linked correctly if new to wiki text. This is a bad first time user experience. Some kind of validation step or feedback when I create red links in the editor itself would be useful. We should at very least enable red links in the editor preview. On a side note: I really think we should give more priority to enabling new page creation on enwiki to help those sort of experiences before continuing down this path of encouraging new editors. People could start drafts, start pages with photos. This seems like a really useful focus of time.

Re: [WikimediaMobile] [zero] The ghost of WAP in Zero world
by Adam Baso 01 Mar '14

01 Mar '14

*(Resending, got stuck in pending queue for size.)* Here's a trendline for about one month of usage. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_Zero_One_Month_WML_Percen… The figure seems to be holding between 0.2% and 0.3% for that most recent 1-month period of available WML usage data in Wikipedia Zero. Other content types are not counted in this WML percent; for example, the following hits on <language>.(m|zero).wikipedia.org are excluded: JSON, XML, PNGs, icons, JavaScript and CSS. Furthermore, content served from domains such as upload.wikimedia.org (media, including most article images) andbits.wikimedia.org (frequently accessed core UX elements such as JavaScript, CSS, icons, etc.) is not part of the denominator. The previous email referring to sub-0.1 percent WML /hit/ ratios on in-scope active carriers - for which I provided some rather basic analysis - holds. However, using the re-worked definition of WML percent described here there's a slightly higher skew. In addition to the PDF trendline, a quick and dirty look at the 20140214 log for active operators shows the following rough layout. Less than 0.5% WML Overall traffic in this zone is 77.03% of the W0 traffic; average of 0.05% WML in-zone Between 0.5% and 1.35% WML Overall traffic in this zone is 22.73% of the W0 traffic; average of 1.08% WML in-zone Between 1.35% and 4.9999999999% WML Overall traffic in this zone is 0.22% of the W0 traffic, average of 2.07% WML in-zone; 5% and higher WML Overall traffic in this bucket is 0.015% of the W0 traffic, average of 34.2% WML in-zone The percents don't add to 100 perfectly as a consequence of rounding. Generally, WML seems to be in decline across most Wikipedia Zero operators, but there are some exceptions (e.g., one operator's WML percent as defined here seems to be holding steady around 1% with this definition of WML, although I'm sort of skeptical of whether the user agent is actually WML-only or even a mobile device or is incapable of handling HTML). We're analyzing whether WML deprecation has a disparate impact measurable enough to defer exclusive concentration on HTML, especially in light of the increasing availability of cheap mobile devices supporting HTML and the tendency for large intermediary search services and appliances to translate HTML to WML on behalf of the actual client device in the rare case of a device only supporting WML. -Adam On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 12:41 PM, Yuri Astrakhan <yastrakhan(a)wikimedia.org>wrote: > I just ran some stats on the 1/1000 sample logs for ZERO traffic.

Wikipedia new app sprint 25 builds available for Android
by Brion Vibber 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

Public Android build at https://releases.wikimedia.org/mobile/android/apps-android-wikipedia-sprint… iOS builds are currently limited to Wikimedia-internal distribution due to Apple installation restrictions. We may be able to open up to public betas again in a bit though. These versions now include basic account creation! Don't go too crazy testing it -- there are per-IP throttling limits in place and you can get yourself temporarily blocked if you register a lot of accounts. ;) -- brion

Mobile Web & App Quarterly Review notes posted
by Tomasz Finc 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

For those not able to make it to our last quarterly review you can see our slides and notes posted on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Metrics_and_activities_meetings/Quarterly_r… Do take a note of a really important data point in slide 4 Wikipedia is approaching Mobile and Desktop convergence in late 2015 if trends hold. This means that by the end of 2015 we'll be seeing 50/50 split between mobile and desktop. This is a huge opportunity for our projects and we'll need the community as a whole to help us support this on coming growth. Over the next weeks and months you'll be seeing us actively build our goals for 2014-2015. Stay tuned for a very interesting year. --tomasz

three-letter language codes - fixed!
by Amir E. Aharoni 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Hallo, The old annoying bug that didn't allow proper usage of three-letter language codes in Android apps appears to be fixed. Or maybe not. Here's the link: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=49120 The relevant MediaWiki bug: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36264 The last comment on the Android bug says: "The resource packaging system is still poorly designed, but now supports 3 letter locale codes and variants." The bug is not closed yet, however. I don't know the Android community well. What does it mean for us? Is it actually fixed already? Is the fix released? Can we use it? Will it work on all Android versions or only on the newest ones? -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

Performance: 15KB wikipedia.ico file
by Yuri Astrakhan 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

I was looking at the page sizes, and noticed that the wikipedia.ico<http://bits.wikimedia.org/favicon/wikipedia.ico> file is 15KB, which is about 14% of the average m. page size. Unfortunatelly, this download is not reported by either firefox or chrome dev tools due to know <http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mozilla.firefox.firebug/9253> bugs <https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=110449>, so it might have been overlooked in our site performance review. Can we shrink it somehow? Or is there a reason to keep it as is? I tried shrinking it with GIMP to 4bit - and got a 5x reduction. There are some color changes, but I don't know much about images, so possibly some pixel hunting by a designer is needed. Also, I tried 4bit+PNG option, which might not be supported by every browser, especially some mobile ones, and it got me an extra 569 bytes (21%) Lastly, do we really need 3 different sizes - 16,32,64? Can we do 16 & 64?

WML Deprecation plan
by Dan Foy 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

The Wikimedia Foundation plans to remove support for WML for Wikimedia projects, in order to steer more development toward the web's de facto markup language, HTML, on mobile web browsers. A trial of the WML deprecation is slated to begin February 17, 2014, and assuming no major hiccups, will no longer be supported as of February 24, 2014. WML usage has fallen dramatically and appears to now be below 0.009% of hits across Wikipedia in general. Even in markets with greater feature phone usage, direct WML usage still falls below 0.1%; in some of these markets there is no WML usage. If you have concerns, please reply to this thread. Thanks, Dan -- Dan Foy Technical Manager, Mobile Partnerships Wikimedia Foundation

some surprising positive feedback
by Amir E. Aharoni 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Hi, Just wanted to bring some surprising positive feedback about MobileFrontend from a Hebrew Wikipedia editor. He asked me why aren't his mobile edits marked with the mobile tag in the editing history. I did a bit of testing and couldn't reproduce the problem, so explained him how the tagging works, and asked to re-check. He did, and he found that his edits are indeed marked correctly. This made him very happy, and he asked me to send his regards to the developers for doing the good work - which I'm doing now. The thing that is somewhat surprising about it is that users care about tags at all. But hey, why not. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T. Moore‬

mobile diff colors
by Amir E. Aharoni 09 Feb '14

09 Feb '14

Hi, A Hebrew Wikipedia user complained that the mobile diff colors changed to dark green and dark pink, which she finds very inconvenient. What would be the right way to report that? Bugzilla? Some talk page about Mobile Feedback? [[mw:Talk:Mobile_design]] is empty, but it can be started. I presume that some serious design work went into that, and I don't have a strong opinion of my own, but hey - I'm quite pleasantly surprised that somebody cares about mobile diff colors, so I guess that it should be considered. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

Re: [WikimediaMobile] Test fails for some reason

I was on a phone when I looked at this - the videos don't work there so I was only looking at the screenshot. Yes looking at the video it does make more sense. The bit that _doesn't_ make sense is where the 5 seconds come from. The rule says this: page.spinner_loading_element.when_not_present page.submit_button_element.when_present.click Nothing about 5 seconds.. Waiting 5 seconds for the spinner to disappear is way too optimistic. VisualEditor can take much much longer than this especially on beta labs. I'd suggest 10 seconds maybe even 15 seconds - where does this number 5 come from? On a side note. I'm really concerned no one else other than me is paying notice to these mails as they are very noisy.... I'm keen to see less of these e-mails and only see them when they actually show something is broken. Is there a possibility to only send the mails when it has been broken for 2 test runs to avoid issues due to the server?

Test fails for some reason

Note sure why this failed. It works fine for me locally.... It's strange as the screenshot shows it got to the preview screen. Maybe the loader disappeared too fast?!

MobileWebBetaWatchlist
by Jon Robson 08 Feb '14

08 Feb '14

This schema has been around since the dawn of time. It collects data around the watch star activity. Currently we don't use it for anything. I think we should do something about this. 1) Create an automation script using SQL [A] that generates regular reports showing the top ten watch articles on mobile on wikis for each month and publish that somewhere. See Graph [C] to get an idea of what this looks like for January. 2) We may want to do the above but in addition to this stop logging clicks on the watchstar when logged out. The graph generated for January [D] from this data is very different, quicker to run and much more work safe. 3) Kill the schema altogether I would suggest options 2 or 3. Interested in the wider communities opinion. (Note 2/3 could take the form of mails to the mobile-l mailing list or outputted to some server on the labs) [A] SQL query: select page_namespace, page_title, count from ( select count(*) as count, page_namespace, page_title from MobileBetaWatchlist_5281061 as Watchstar JOIN enwiki.page ON page_id = event_articleID where event_username != 'Selenium user' and timestamp >= '2014010100000' and timestamp <= '2014013100000' and wiki = 'enwiki' group by page_title ) as MostActive order by MostActive.count desc limit 10 [B] Only include logged in users select page_namespace, page_title, count from ( select count(*) as count, page_namespace, page_title from MobileBetaWatchlist_5281061 as Watchstar JOIN enwiki.page ON page_id = event_articleID where event_anon = 0 and timestamp >= '2014010100000' and timestamp <= '2014013100000' and wiki = 'enwiki' group by page_title ) as MostActive order by MostActive.count desc limit 10 [C] List of most watched articles for January including anon clicks 0 Main_Page 47619 12 Searching 3827 0 XXX 2205 6 Xxx_movie.jpg 2054 0 Pornography 1973 0 Facebook 1906 6 Facebook_(login,_signup_page).jpg 1619 6 Elf_Yourself_screenshot.jpg 1566 0 XXX_(film) 1498 0 Android_rooting 1368 [D] List of most watched articles for January excluding anon clicks 0 Main_Page 4079 0 The_Fosters_(2013_TV_series) 186 0 Editor_&_Publisher 99 0 Juan_Mata 85 12 Searching 63 0 Bailee_Madison 55 6 Elf_Yourself_screenshot.jpg 49 0 Android_rooting 48 100 Current_events 47 0 Psychopath_(disambiguation) 44

VisualEditor broken in mobile
by Jon Robson 07 Feb '14

07 Feb '14

As these 3 tests show VisualEditor is indeed broken on beta labs. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60912 captures this issue. Rob, James - what could have caused this. I just updated VisualEditor and Parsoid to latest master and I get the same issue locally now.

Thanks to James Alexander for bringing this to my attention.] Kenan and I (along with other members of product and design) have been looking at this language for a while to try to improve it. #1 on my list is definitely to say "agree to irrevocably release" instead of "irrevocably agree to release". :) The legal meaning is essentially the same but the new wording would be clearer. That said, we're thinking about rewriting a lot of the copyright language stuff to make it more clear (and hopefully shorter to boot!) so it don't think it is a high priority to rewrite/revise this - it may be completely revised/reorganized in the next few months anyway.
