Are there statistics about users' preferences on
Wikimedia sites?
Not really.
For example, a statistic that would say things like
how many users use every
skin and how many users have "Show preview before edit box" disabled.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but the defaults for new users never seem to change
(except the Vector skin recently) and maybe we could learn something from
these stats.
Preferences stats are cool. And since Roan finished converting everyone out
of the old user_options column and into the user_props table, it makes it a w
hole lot easier to measure these things.
So we can do things like change defaults.
Or even better, remove crappy preferences that most nobody uses \o/
