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:
https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2675181&CFID=957153849&CFTOKEN=56... (arxiv link here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1409.1496)
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
Giovanni

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
