Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects/Projects/Move Wikidata item link/Track data object usage
Sub Task: Track the usage of activity on the Wikidata item data object
[edit]Tracking and measuring user interaction with the position of the links will allow us to determine where the better position is.
Success indicator:
Users click the Wikidata data object link in the toolbar more often.
Measurements:
- increase clicks on the Wikidata Item sitelink.
- clicks on the Wikidata Special: page link do not change.
In some cases, there are 2 links to Wikidata from the article page.
1- The Wikidata data object link (links to the Q-ID of the corresponding page on Wikidata).
2- Links to a documentation, request or otherwise a non-Mainspace page.
- normalise both measurements by their respective page visits.
Tracking Parameters
[edit]To determine these success criteria, we will track the following metadata parameters from the Monoschema:
mediawiki.skin
User skin (e.g. vector 2010 or 2022)mediawiki.database
User origin wiki project and languageperformer.is_logged_in
Login status (no need to collect their username for this)
Tracked data will be deleted 2 months after the first measurements are taken.
L3SC / Legal:Data Collection Guidelines
We will not collect any user identifiers, geographic identifiers, or page identifiers. Raw data will be aggregated in Apache Superset by creating a custom dataset there. The raw source will be a subset of parameters from the monoschema (see above for which properties).
What was done to make this change
[edit]Triggers for event logging on Wikidata data object and Special page link were created and merged to the latest MediaWiki version, they are activated with the SubmitClick
interaction. These changes are passive and there will be no visible change to the end-user.
