According to http://mobile-reportcard.wmflabs.org/graphs/ui-daily clicks to the home page in the left navigation menu have been dropping since Thursday 1st May. On Mon Apr 21 a search bar was put at the top of all search pages. This would have hit mediawiki.org late Thursday 24th and then all wikis by Thursday 1st May. This suggests that most people were visiting the home link as a way to get back to the search bar, so this seems like it has been a successful move.
The history link has proved popular and lots of people are clicking on it. The user profile link is also proving popular.
Special:MobileOptions is interesting to look at Looking at the graph it seems a lot of people visit the options page and enter beta mode or disable images http://mobile-reportcard.wmflabs.org/graphs/mobile-options
The fact the lines follow a simple trend suggests that opting into beta and turning off images are done at the same time in many of these cases. I wonder how many of these people actually wanted to turn off images and how many people were just playing around?
Thanks for analyzing this!
