I hate the idea of deleting research data. Esp. since the Moodbar data contains insights into new editor motivations and pain points.
Would it be possible to place historical research datasets like this on another server, or at least in a dump file somewhere, so that they're still available? I know we can't release the Moodbar data publicly (because it was an open text field on the internet), but still...

I did some research together with Dario on whether MoodBar had a positive effect on retention. The findings were positive and were presented at CSCW in 2015:

My only concern is whether somebody wanted to replicate the results of that paper; I haven't received any such request so far. And I guess that all those who could be possibly interested in doing so would probably be on this list anyway. So I guess that if there is no objection I am OK with the deletion too.
Cheers

Forwarding this to more research people. In case anyone needs to do research on moodbar, get in touch with us, those tables will be deleted otherwise.

Hello!
This is an FYI that ModBar extension has been undeployed and, as such,
its
tables will be removed from all wikis. See
https://phabricator.wikimedia.
org/T153033
It looks like this extension sprang some interest in the past [1] and
there
were some research projects about it. Please let us know (before August 7th) whether we should keep the tables for any reason.
Thanks,
Nuria
