Is the data from the analysis we did on
MobileWebSectionUsage up on
meta wiki yet? If so could you link to it?
Didn't you ask that question several
times already? The last time I
answered it was just last Friday, not sure if you saw my reply:

That Meta-wiki page is still just a draft (and should also include the
followup analysis on scroll data that is currently blocked on
T123595). So I'm right now holding off on promoting it more widely,
but feel free refer to the results that are already there.

User:Casliber has started an editing contest on
the English Wikipedia
focused on improving or adding lead (intro) sections:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Take_the_lead! (open until
this Sunday, January 31)
Notably, the invitation cites mobile readers as a motivation:
"Many articles on the English Wikipedia have deficient or poorly
written leads that do not summarise the article or present the
information in an engaging manner. With increased mobile phone usage,
this is becoming more of an issue, because mobile interfaces often
show the lead alone, with other sections collapsed."
I added the subsequent sentence, to support this point with data from
the analysis that JonR and I did some weeks ago for the
MobileWebSectionUsage data. This also lead to some interesting
community discussion in several places, and someone added that chart
to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_create_and_manage_a_good_lea…
. It's a great example of how we can support editors' work with
readership data beyond mere pageviews (I also submitted a Wikimania
talk about this topic earlier this month).
