Hey folks,

As requested, I started a research project page to do some analysis around this.  See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Mobile_anonymous_apocalypse

It's just a stub now.  I'll have to clear a few other projects off my plate in order to pick this one up.  You should expect to see updates there in 2-3 weeks.

It means at some point during the editing workflow the user hit an
error that stopped them from finishing their edit.
We do capture AbuseFilter hits in this process (but with some of these
errors you can recover and complete the edit.

We also store the error associated, although a quick scan shows this
is currently not very helpful.

In theory 'http' error should only happen when a user cannot get an
edit token - I've updated the bug for those interested.
