Hi Jon,

Can you share a couple of webrequest entries that demonstrate the effect of infinite scroll? Want to make sure that we count such pages only once. I will update https://github.com/wikimedia/metrics/tree/master/pageviews/kraken as well.

The MobileFrontend extension will see 2 changes within the next 3
weeks that will result in more API requests. I wanted to bring these
to the attention of ops to give you an opportunity to raise any
concerns.

The first makes the mobile uploads page exhibit infinite scroll. You
can see what this does if you compare the existing version [1] with
the beta version [2] and scroll to the bottom of the page. You will be
able to see the additional requests such a feature makes.

The second change will make Echo notifications load in mobile via
JavaScript avoiding a request to
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Notifications (this is no
different from the desktop version of the site)

You can track these changes on Mingle [3,4]. Based on the teams
existing velocity they are likely to be made and deployed no sooner
than Thursday 23rd to test wiki in that week's deployment train,
however there is a small chance they could make it a week early.

Please let us know if this could cause any issues.
