What problem does this solve?
[edit]This learning pattern describes how to obtain the global metric on number of existing active editors involved by your project, program or event.
What is the solution?
[edit]Some definitions
[edit]- Existing active editor is an editor who has made at least five edits in the previous month.
- In-person events/projects/programs happen in real time in physical presence (e.g. 10 people in the same room). Sometimes, people in-person are online (because they brought their laptops!)
- Online events/projects/programs happen entirely online, like a contest, to an international editathon, to experimental projects like The Wikipedia Adventure or the Teahouse.
How to measure
[edit]Wikimetrics
[edit]1. Get usernames | |
---|---|
2. Review wikimetrics learning module and upload your cohort | |
| |
3. In wikimetrics, create a report to find "active editors involved" | |
Using wikimetrics and the cohorts you created, you want to use the Rolling Active Editors metric.
