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=5…
(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

anyone needs to do
research on moodbar, get in touch with us, those tables will be deleted
otherwise.

Subject: [Analytics] Dropping MoodBar extension tables from all wikis

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
