Can someone from the Foundation confirm whether
any testing was done
with people who would actually be affected by the decision to remove
the language links - or only on people who wouldn't care? If only the
latter, then the stated reason for removal would be in serious need of
urgent review.
I won't speak for the Foundation, but my understanding is that sampled
click-rates were measured on the live site, so it would have been a
representative sample of our visitors.
In that case, I would also be interested to know whether the behaviour was
any
different on projects other than the English Wikipedia... (and whether
there was any variation in the click rates based on country of origin or
browser language).
